WGT,
I am going add my 2 cents in agreement with all preceding posts. I have gotten hooked on the quality of this game and I am not hesitant to pay for value. I have "invested" in upgraded equipment and balls. I can understand the investment in clubs, the recurring investment for balls (if I so choose) but adding fees to just pay certain courses seems to opposite of what this game and WGT are all about.
I played 1 free CTH round and was severly underwhelmed. Considering the quality of established courses, I cannot imagine quite what the decision makers were thinking when they thought to add add'l fees for lower quality.
I too will wait for free, properly develpoed and photographed HD courses...
