Right on.

FGI runs it's own virtual tour - I use their GameTrack pretty much exclusively.

If I might offer the following modifications from their VT:

1) Cheating is not allowed
2) Everyone uses GameTrackers HCP, that is calculated by 2 - 4 practise rounds before entering the tournament. Practise rounds should be standard score you make.
3)Score that is used is "net score" = ([Gross Score-rating]/[slope*113])-GameTrack Handicap).
4) For every round you use the most recent GameTrack HCP. The GT HCP you use to calculate your net score is the one you have BEFORE you enter your VT score.
5) You can enter as many rounds in one week as you want. Only the best score will be takeing part in the competition. FGI is a little different. In the appropriate thread (VT 2007 Week X) you declare which day you'll be heading out. It puts a little more pressure on the round.
6) Competition start 03.00 Monday and ends 24.00 Sunday. Times are local times.


The other thing we tried last year was along with a money list (virtual bucks!), there were points assigned for Player of the Year.

The other fun thing was that we had Majors as well - more money.

I guess the other thing to think about is the year end real life tournament. This is by and large the most diverse golf board I've seen - with fair representation from both sides of the pond. It might make a virtual tour year end get together a little difficult.

Lastly - we need to gauge interest, although I guess it can be done closer to the spring.

A new highlight: Golfing the home course on Christmas Day.

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.

For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.
