Behind the scenes

  While thousands of users are eagerly anticipating the Congressional course here at WGT, it strikes me that WGT remains so silent about it. In the past users were given a look behind the scenes, especially through MisterWGT's blog in the run-up to the introduction of St Andrews (http://wgt.com/members/MisterWGT/announcements/default.aspx?PageIndex=1), or through the news section (e.g. http://www.wgt.com/news/archive/2008/07/18/behind-the-scenes-at-pinehurst.aspx). But now it has already been 10 months since anything new has been posted on the blog.

  Is there any chance WGT will share a look behind the scenes with its loyal users? Give us a sneak peak of announced courses, or some desktop pictures/wallpapers like the ones from St Andy!

  One thing that would be cool would be a flyover of each hole with a commentary.

  Quite right, philspace. Surely WGT can give us a date by now for the arrival of Congressional. Also, could they not at least tell us how many more stroke play courses we're likely to see this year even if they're not actually able to name them just to give us all something to look forward to. It's these long periods of deafening silence that I can't stand.

  "Behind the scenes" is laughter - as in WGT counting $$ and laughing all the way to the bank. Why would they spend profits on more courses when you all keep playing, spending $$ and attacking anyone who dares to criticize WGT? Four courses is a joke - and you'll get 1, maybe 2 new courses in a year and like it.

  Considering it takes 6 - 8 months from start to finish to add a course I think that is pretty good. I would love to see more but it is what it is.

  I wonder which course they will add. The blue or the gold.....

  So Greasycheezo comes on after 3 days membership, 1 ranked round, and starts ranting about 4 courses being a joke. Really? You moron, it takes weeks at least, to learn how to play the courses available intelligently!  Go back to cartoon golf!

  Not if you're part of the Cheez clan.
