    Hi All,

    Now how to put this, and not get offside with everyone lolol.

    Lets face it economies of the world and the financial markets havent been good for a decade now, and the future is very uncertain. How well are WGT.com doing ? - I dont know, I hope they are making a good profit and hopefully we will get PB back 9 soon.

    I've been here since the early days, and I have trouble remembering getting to many years with 2 courses - it was very rare. We certainly seemed to have averaged out at 1 course per year - which to be honest is more than acceptable by my way of thinking. The courses are expensive to make and take approx 6 to 9 months to put together. (I dont work for WGT, or any affiliated company)

    When I first started we didnt even have 1 course,  just CTTH's. Then we got our very first course - awesome. How many courses have we got now - a dozen or more, not counting the best of's which I personally dont go for.

    WGT have come along way in the last decade, I hope they are doing well financially, I hope they can afford to put out 1 course per year and make enough profit to maintain a decent workforce.

    I have loved playing this game from day 1, I still love playing it - and I hope I can continue to enjoy playing it for many years to come.

    Take care of yourselves, each other and the planet. 

    Merry Christmas from Down Under, and all the best for 2016.

    Cheers

    Doug

    I love playing this game as well. But why not Harbour town or some of the other closest to pin courses. They are well on the way with them anyway

    To make any of the CTTH courses into 18 hole courses would be just as expensive and time consuming as any other course, as they would have to start from scratch.

    Plus the CTTH courses would have to be willing to let WGT return and spend the 2 weeks or so it takes to make all the additional photographs needed to make a complete stroke play 18 hole WGT course.

    Or they could deploy a squadron of drones and have the whole course shot before the powers that be knew what hit them. LOL

    LOL

    Makings of a plan.  

    Change a couple of things around maybe, say Halal corner and ye olde world bridge.  Maybe then throw in a few pinky and perky gnomes for tee markers, no one need be any the wiser.

    Mums the word :)

    My local club would be over the moon if WGT wanted to come for a fortnight and photograph it. Mind you they would have to be careful with the camera work around condom corner.
