    As I read, its called the USGA Virtual Championship.  This is a big step forward for WGT.  Keep it FREE with a similar format to 2009...unlimited qualifying with a cut, then one stroke play round for the Championship.  Let us play practice rounds before the tournament starts and don't introduce that 300 yard driver (wink) just before the completion.

    Look at the first picture on MisterWGT's blog-says it all. He pulled the same thing with SA that sly dog!  :-D

    I looked at that screenshot and noticed something a little odd....anyone else  ?

      I noticed the "sweet spot" before I saw the driver : )  That would place it nicely off-set to "shape" a shot against the wind!

    Plus there's a message tab now instead of chat.

      Just noticed another thing (should`ve been the first!), the overhead map isn`t there, indicating an option to turn it off?

    Yeah, Chat if it was multi-player.  But its not.  It should say Invites.

     

    Other things after comparing to a current game play screen shot.

    Notch missing between -1 and 1st shot in upper left name panel

    No version number

    Says WGT w/ logo instead of WGT beta

    Says Hole instead of Par 4

    Aiming box is missing

    Don't see a flag on the green

    Club is back but no power bar

    "forgiveness" blue range is not symetrical.

    Center line is too far left

    Ball is too dark and odd shaped.

    Ball shadow is different, making it look like ball is teed higher

    Ball is too far from a female avatar

    Angle where the club shaft meets the hand looks weird. hmmm....

    And there is someone or something just at the end of the left fairway bunker. see photo

    There are other things (like slightly different font size on the 285) that lead me to think this could be just a "presentation slide" and not a true screen capture.

    I'm not criticizing it if indeed it is a presentation slide, just saying don't read too much into what we see.  Might end up chasing red herrings....

    Or a completely new function.

    Squint. You can see the top of it on the right.

    andyson:

    Like it would be with shot shaping.

    Look for positives that are on the roadmap.
