  I practice putting on my carpet into an overturned water-glass...hell, I'd even settle for that...;)

  I'm heading for the attic to dig this out -

  Remember last year when there was supposed to be a major played on Pebble Beach - and it turned out to be CTTH? And only 9 holes - the same 9 holes for each round?

  I'm betting it won't be until April of next year at VUSO time that we see PB.

  I'm gonna think about it when I stand on the first tee in strokeplay.

  They are WGT, hope is futile!

  Jim, looking at it coming out this week, anywhere from tomorrow - Thursday,with tomorrow being the favorite,just in case there are any problems they will have plenty of time to fix them.

  We have never met, but if you could send me some of whatever you're smoking...it would be much appreciated...:)

  Why are so many people sure it's coming out sooner than next year? It doesn't make much marketing sense to deliver it off season and WGT sure as hell isn't going to do it because everybody wants it. You know the glacial pace they move at.

   Surely they will not ,not produce the course again. Now that would be bad business. They have had a year to work out any flaws that they may have had last year for not letting it out. Thats why I said tomorrow -Thursday so if there was any issues they could be fixed before the Thanksgiving holidays

  They been sitting on it since before CBay. I would really be surprised if they came out with PB now. The real golf audience just isn't paying attention this time of year, especially with no US Open link to attract them.

  Well I just don't understand why a mod. just can't post yeah it will be out this week , or no we will not be bringing  PB out . there is only 10 days till WGT goes on Thanksgiving break, with an advertised play scheduled for Dec. 1

  Why does everything have to be so damn secretive???

  One mod has burnt his tongue last year when promising a time range for PB - see parallel, bumped thread. The company proved him wrong then, so there will be no more advance statements.

  Furthermore, they have kept many trivial things as secret business secrets, a behaviour which eventually made us call them the Hold-Your-Tongue Tribe of Bay Area.

  In the light of this, I wonder why that fabulous "Nation" tournament has been announced three weeks in advance - either someone will be burning his tongue again, or they need to rise a "Nation" hype to secure their revenue. Who knows...?

  Some may speculate about a link between these two items - I won't. PB strokeplay is non-existant to me until I'll be standing on the first tee!
