  I was reading an article about how the contract between EA and Augusta had expired. Not that I'm optimistic, but does this mean  there is a sliver of hope for WGT to get the rights to photograph the course?

  No plans as of now to add Augusta.

  Bad news but clear news - adorable!

  Would you please add a word concerning TPC Sawgrass?

  Hasn't been discussed as far as I am aware.  I would love to see PGA National and TPC Sawgrass.

  Hmph. After reading another article it mentioned that it took three years for EA and Augusta to reach said licensing agreement. So I'm not giving up yet. Hope it will be here within 10 years.

  What HAS been discussed (like I have a prayer of getting an answer) given that PB is out and Oakmont is already in place for the 2016 US Open?

  Kinda looks like WGT isn't seeing anything new in 2016. And no, don't be touting the newest BO courses that last clash is going to produce. Allegedly.

  Yeah Jim ,have to agree. Was hoping for some new stuff in Dec. from wgt but it looks like that 1 hour shut down was our Dec. update.( Now that's sad)

  Probably see the back 9 of BP sometime in or around June, so like I said in an earlier post way back , we once got 2 courses a year, then it went to 1 , now we are down to 9 holes.

  The best of courses do nothing but eat up balls, you get no credit for any score you shoot so its kinda useless IMO.

  Well Happy Christmas to all.
