  From tomorrow WGT led by wgticon will make a significant change to this golf site .

  With at least 5 million people quitting golf in the last 5 years and younger players spurning the game because it is so difficult wgticon has persuaded his bosses to encourage a younger demographic .

  Beginning at midnight eastern time -  hacks ,tour pro's and tour master's will have the hole diameter increased  to 15 inches . This will help them play faster in multi-player game modes and should also lower their scores by 5 strokes in every nine holes of play .

  To even things up and  being fair to all -  tour champions and tour legends will be allowed to throw their ball out of a bunker twice in an eighteen hole round .

  The leading player on wgt -  henrykawa is quoted as saying - I do not like any of these changes and stuff and it is not going to happen .

  It,s all talk .

  Just 15"?  What a rip.  I need a least a 24" cup.  Bummer. :(

  This actual screenshot from Shoe's testing of the 15 inch hole on PB shows this kinda stuff still happens.

  You could have fooled everybody here on wgt until you got to those words:

  Nobody here will ever believe in that.
