  6 Months and still waiting !  It's in the can alright !

  It's my understanding that 6 months the minimum amount of time it takes WGT to produce a new course after they have taken the 200,000 to 300,00 photos they need.

  I shudder at the though of having to edit 300,000 photos.

  See how easy that was? Turns out you really do know how to search.

  Now let's see if it's a par 3 holer or PB.

  Why in the world would they stage the VT Finals on a Bandon Par-3 course, makes no sense...Must be PB....It's supposed to be a "televised" Showcase....

  I sure hope you're right. The only thing that puzzles me about that is PB wouldn't have the same $ generating power it would have as a major tournament, like the Opens. Seems WGT is missing out.

  Imagine a big "Pebble Beach Virtual Inauguration" event during the Holidays...

  Or would they wait for the Pro-Am in February (2-9 to 2-15)?

  Maybe I am being overly sceptical but the bolded part of this WGT statements worries me.

  The top 4 Tour Legends will play in a final round (on a brand new WGT strokeplay course) and will need to stream that round on Twitch, so other players can watch. Held 12/11 to 12/14 for another prize purse of 500,000 WGT Credits. See details below.

  It would not surprise me if only these top 4 Tour Legends were given access to the new course and the rest of us were locked out until after the Virtual Tour Championship rounds have finished.

  I have no worries - I take this as given. If they keep their promise of a new course for that special round, it will be locked to us mere mortals at least until 12/15.
