  I have not been able to play for months on my Chromebook. I finally gave up

    Wow ! that is very unfortunate . But it seems to be longer than a few months . With a start date of 2010 .

    If the Google links below do not help you . You might want to consider another Google capable laptop .

    This is a very delinquent ( late ) 1st Post . I hope you can find a way to start playing . For your sake . Then you can get a 1st Poster Trophy as well . ( 1st post is recorded )

  You may be able to install the Android app...

    Good 1st Post . Professor .

    I would think that Chromebook would be in PC mode . So it should have all the stroke play formats .

    Anyway . You have been playing on some device . Well done .

  I've been playing for years on Windows 10. I'm currently on the road so I tried my Chromebook. Unfortunately it looks like its not powerful enough to run the full game. In "Stroke Mode, Multi-Player" I only get an option for 9 holes, no 18 hole option. I am able to play a full 18 holes in "Stroke Play - Solo Mode".

    I think Professor . That was a sign . A sign to direct you to a new curriculum . You see Professor . That the WGT Gods have proclaimed that for your playing benefit and time management concerns .

    They have determined that when one plays 1, 9 hole ranked stroke play round .

    They will double that score every time to that of an 18 hole score .

    IE : 18 = 72

             9 = 72

      This has the effect of cutting your online time in half at the same time as cutting your tiering up time in half .

    Instead of 15 years to tier up . It only takes 7.5 .

    Also helping on those long road trips .

    Praise Paradise .

  I was using a chromebook to play the flash version until 12/20- yes there is the android app, however, it does not include multi-player (and I play mostly Alt Shot) so I bought a cheap windows 10 laptop just to play WGT.

  You are saying the  cromebook only plays flash?.The one he has does not let him  play any type of tournaments either club or featured .A message comes up saying OS will not allow to play.There is no way arround that? By the way i really appreciate  your help.  ty Vinny

  No, not saying that- and at this point the flash game is completely retired. I am saying that chromebooks can be used to play the android app, which was designed for android phones. However, that means basically coin rooms, and solo play. Multi-player and tournaments is not functional except in the Mac and Windows versions.
