  obviously.. but it can take months to cut through the legal red tape.. get the licensing and contracts straightened out.. as well as physically go out to the course and take 100 pictures from different angle.. only then to have to set the variable and algorithms in the action script for that particular course.. and then design the marketing campaign for its release...

   

  So learn to master the courses you have.. and be patient..

  I think WGT should get rid of everything they currently have and just have a blitz or CTTH, but only holes like Sawgrass #17, or Greyhawk Talon course #17... par 3's where the green is almost totally surrounded by water.  WGT would have a field day with ball buying!

  I am new to this, it is really fun and it is helping pass the winter up here in Canada.

  What is the reason we can not do stroke play on Pebble Beach or Wolf Creek, but we can play closest-to-the-hole stuff? I am poking around in the forms, but I do not know where to ask this. Can anyone help?

  Thanks S Rob

  It is either a question of investment of time and money to map the entire courses, or a question of licensing and other commitments.

  Last year, when the US Open was at Pebble Beach, we were given the full course at Oakmont instead, probably because there was some licensing conflict with respect to Pebble Beach (?). Presumably the full Pebble Beach will be put up in time for the next US Open there (2019, I believe).

  WGT has also explained that some courses are physically/technically very difficult to map, which could explain why the full Wolf Creek is not available.

  Also, because of WGT's arrangements with the USGA, the first priority is apparently to bring us Congressional, this spring, in the runup to this summer's US Open.

  The reasons could vary from course to course.

  I am confused.. there are sooo many companies that already have all the courses mapped.. A lot of the GPS companies offering pocket caddies.. hec an insurance company can even tell what line you need for a put on the green.. . not to mention back in the 90's I usa to play the PGA PC golf.. and we could hook up online and play all these pga courses.. mapped out beautifully.. They even had updates for new courses on a regular basis. You could even design your own course back then, and have your online buds play with you.

  20 years later has not the technology improved? This site has been up and running a long time in beta mode still. I think the real conflict is with the Tiger Woods PGA sanctioned game.. so it may just be political.. but I seriously doubt it's a technical problem.
