    The core of it all;  WGT face planted losing one of the most challenging course we will ever have had the opportunity to play.

    In my opinion, looking at the "big picture". - Losing Oakmont gives us all an idea where this game is headed. Who's to say BPB, or St A's, or CCC isn't next. 

    As for customer relations - WGT does and ALWAYS has and ALWAYS will give a rats A** about the community and its members.

    Usually contracts are written with an allowance for a party to terminate a contract with a 30 day written notice but maybe this one wasn't.

    I believe they knew this well in advance, because there wasn't a single WGT monthly in April played on Oaky. Not even the CTTH sweeps, which were there every month.

    By any chance was that a multi-round tourney on different courses that started before Oakmont was pulled?  I'm just grasping at straws at this point.

    Nope, round 1, started this Monday morning. And we have a couple of other Oaky holes in a few other saved courses. They're still there.

    OK, I understand, but it's really strange.  Like I said, the one custom Course we had created had the 2 Oakmont holes removed.  I guess at this point, enjoy them while they last.

    Its such a downer, when choosing a course to play on with a friend, that Oakmont is no longer an option.

    Its like an extinction event, and without any rhyme or reason.

    New players will never miss it but WGT veterans always will.

    Seems the best results might be achieved by sending personal, politely worded letters, by snail mail, to:

    Oakmont Country Club

    1233 Hulton Rd.

    Oakmont, PA 15139

     

    Describe your heartfelt reasons why you think the course should be put back up on WGT, how having the course available for ordinary mortals to play online is good for Oakmont and good for the game of golf, serves the ideals of the golfing community. Etc.

    - Zag

    Has anyone done this yet? I sent out a letter Thursday. Maybe we can at least get an answer as to why from Oakmont. We deserve this in the least.

    Clearly wgt is hoping we'll just forget about it. Lets show them we are not and that we want a clear answer. Not a one sentence rubbish announcement.

    A classy avatar (just lol...) and an easy course is hardly a replacement for Oakmont

    As one can see I haven't played a single RG since this ball was dropped and I don't see that ever changing. VUSO Then I'm done.

    To my ole friend Zag; I couldn't agree more. Wouldn't hurt to write Oakmont and express some feelings, concerns and opinions. I am going to set some time aside to write Oakmont a very brief but "to the point"  letter. 

    W will surely not get any STRAIGHT FORWARD reply from TG / WGT and for all of you who tak eth eside that TG / WGT doesnt owes us a BRIEF explaination then you're not seeing the big picture here.

    TG will eventually take this great HD, as real as it gets, online golf game into a Bugs Bunny -  Elmer Fudd CARTOON golf game.

    Also - WE WILL lose other courses. Now  it's only  a matter of time and again to all who don't think WGT /TG will let this happen again you're not seeing the forest through the trees and you are also taking losing THE MOST CHALLENGING course we once had -lying down and not giving a rats a** about anything.

    ******************************************

    As for my long time friend, AB, I have been and always will be with you 100% on this blatant disregard  from TG  / WGT and their spineless lack of common courtesy of a brief / BRIEF reply to its community to assure us that this isn't going to happen again to any of our other courses. 

    As for Erin Hills,,,,LMAO! For any skilled player here, Erin Hills is an absolute JOKE of a course. Some of these players will shoot in the mid 50's NO MATTER WHAT conditions,,,LOL! Un, f'ing believable. 

    On we go,,,,,Thank you TG / WGT for everything,,,and that is as about of a sincere TY as your response to our community. 

    Good day y'aaaaaaaaaaallllll.
