  Let me ask you this , do you think when flash is totally gone that WGT will change over ,and reprogram  the PC version, or just let it die because the mobile has taken off ? If its the later then there is know one to blame but the ones that patronized the mobile. In other words you shot yourself and all of us in the foot.

  Didn't mean to get anyone upset , but that's just the truth. Oak is the course in 5 years I think for the US Open , I believe management knows that the PC version will not be around then.

  you are so spot on. the game is going down hill fast. all they try to do is sell stupid stuff. and take courses away. they are self destructing.

  The simple fact as to why Oakmont, is no longer available to play on WGT/TG comes down to the simple fact that when the old contract expired, WGT was unwilling to pay for the rights to continue the use of the logo. I actually got the word direct from the the Course Director and they are actually willing to resign a contract if WGT would be willing to pay for the rights to use their logo... The original contract allowed WGT free use for a specified period of time and then once this period had expired, they simply allowed the contract to expire, as they were unwilling to pay for the right to use it... All comes down to dollars $$$ and that is the bottom line unfortunately!!!

  Yes guys, sad indeed.

  Less courses to play, less ball use..........hey, I guess it makes sense.

  Maybe if we ALL bought the new "premium member" option for a very low $180.00 US or for me $240.00 AUS we would have more hope of being heard......but then again........maybe not.

  Gee Whizz, I can't wait to see the rush to get one of those.

  I'm going to go and play one of the 40 or so RG's that are available just for fun..........oh wait .........that was a few years ago.............now we have 10.

  Less is more I guess.

  Cheers to all from Al.
