    13 Mar 2012

    Enjoy new Blitz Challenge games, the new TruGolf course Chateau Whistler, new high-level PING G20 virtual clubs, and the new Block Player option…plus, the 2012 Virtual U.S. Open is right around the corner!

     

    NEW GAME - BLITZ CHALLENGES

    WGT Blitz games are 9 closest-to-the-hole shots with dynamic scoring bonuses that keep matches exciting down to the last shot. 

    Now you can play new Blitz Challenge games against 1-3 other players for WGT Credits. It's winner-take-all from 25 to 2000 credits per game.

     

    NEW COURSE - CHATEAU WHISTLER


    Carved out of the mountain slopes in British Columbia, this magnificent golf course is the latest from TruGolf. 

    Play all 18 holes strokeplay on Chateau Whistler, and be sure to check-out the latest TruGolf technology in the images of the trees, water and grass, all based on WGT player feedback about Cabo del Sol.

    Note, Greens Fees have been reduced on Chateau Whistler and Cabo del Sol...

    Free - Closest-to-the-hole

    Free - Single Play Stroke Play

    40 credits - 9 holes strokeplay

    NEW CLUBS – PING G20 HIGH-LEVEL


    The latest technology from PING, the new PING G20 clubs, now available for top players.

    These new virtual clubs start unlocking at level 81, and include a new driver, woods, irons and a discounted full set…all with solid overall distance and control, as well as a slower WGT swing meter.

     

    NEW FEATURE - BLOCK PLAYER


    WGT has a great community, but you might not want to hear from EVERYONE, so now you can use the new Block Player option on your Account page. 

    Blocking a player removes the ability for that player to invite, friend, challenge, or message you on WGT.

     

    SPECIAL OFFER – FREE GREEN BALL ON ST. PATTY'S DAY


    To celebrate St. Patrick's Day, WGT is giving away 1 WGT GI-SD virtual ball, in green of course, to everyone who logs in on 3/17 and plays WGT on St. Patty's. 

    Get more distance and control...plus a little luck of the Irish!
