  OAK, Cabo and WHI may be bound by contractual matters...

  I know, I know.  And they are giving it away for premium memberships which complicates things more.  But what good is that if you cannot use it in tournaments or match play/AS, unless the others are premium members.

  And I get why they went that route with TruGolf in early days of WGT.  But, it might still be cheaper than developing a new course.

  As to 2nd pins … just for example, Chambers' greens are so large it would change holes completely.  And they don't even have to mow them.

  No, they just have to distinguish them from the fairway.

   But since were not offering Shinnecock to you we will make sure we rub salt in the wound and make you watch US Open ads promoting the US Open at Shinnecock before you can play a game on one of the courses we do still offer.

  You're a tad late for a surprise - it was when last year's VUSO started. 13 months?
