  why not have a free and a paid option (i.ePoker Stars.net and Poker Stars.com)

  I for one an getting tired of people quitting on the 8th hole so they won't post a bad score.Maybe if they had a small entry fee (10 credits) they would stick around.

  I have a couple of questions I hope you can answer. I am also in the Tiger Woods online beta. It's pretty good, but I think I like WGT better. How long has WGT been in beta? How long until the game launches? And How much will it cost to play this game when it does launch? I haven't been able to find the answer to these questions yet anywhere on the site. Thankyou

  WGT is FINE just the way it is

  I agree, in this regard. No further segregation of players is needed here on WGT.com. The separation into the 4 tiers causes enough bad blood, sometimes.

  Since October 2008 in open Beta. The game was internally launched some time in 2007, I think.

  Carmisa:

  I think the game has already launched.    I find it sufficiently playable & enjoyable even at this (imperfect) stage. And I was a happy Gmail user for many years while it was still officially in "Beta"... That Beta putting all competition to shame.

  Carmisa:

  And How much will it cost to play this game when it does launch?

  Nothing. WGT have confirmed this game will always be free to play with basic equipment.

  I think anyone that quits, rather than a game malfunction, should have their score figured into their average. But how do you distinguish a quitter form one that has a computer malfunction? I was in a 4some last week and had to shut down due to a lightning storm coming in. Should I be penalized? Nope. So, no way to determine quitters from legitimate problems. We just have to live with 'em.

  Firstly, you've done an incredible job! Hope you continue to improve the functionality. My buddies back east, I'm in CA, are stoked as they can get a golf buzz all winter now. I'm having one issue, I was trying to enter the Glenlivet tourney and it keeps telling me I must be 21. I'm a little older than that. I've tried multiple years, but I can't seem to get it working. Any ideas? Thanks again for the site. My wife thinks differently though.

  Hi WGT Alex,

  Been a long time since I've played (work).  I have noticed that a new version was finally installed.  The game is still as great as i remember.  I like the new courses, very cool.  My question to you is that I was an amateur before, not a very good one at that, and now I am a pro.  I will continue to play, but, there will be no chance for me to earn points for newer and greater clubs at the level I am at.  Is there a way I can go back to amateur until I am ready to move up to pro?  Congratulations on the great upgrade.  Thanks, Troy

  Hi Troy, unfortunately we can't move people back a tier. However, with the new clubs and balls that are available to you, and the free tournaments that you can play, you should get up to speed in no time. :)
