Community Update November 2020
I'm WGTChampion and welcome to another edition of WGTChampion's Community Update Blog.
And now the updates:
1. There's going to be a release with downtime next week
We're scheduling a client update with downtime before we take a little break for Thanksgiving which means it's been a short development cycle and it will be a fairly light release. Be sure to check out the release notes next week to see what's new.
2. The new release will have a much-needed improvement that allows country club owners to approve players who request membership to their club
Previously, club owners would have to keep their club open to all users or log in to the Flash version of the game to approve requests for players to join their country club.
3. This Saturday, November 14, is the WGT Live Series: November Championship streaming live on WGT's Twitch channel
This is the first WGT Live Series event for the 2021 Season. You can see the current World Rankings for the new season here: https://www.wgt.com/golf-tournaments/live-series/championship.aspx
You can watch on WGT Twitch Here: https://www.twitch.tv/WGTGolf
I'll be hanging out in chat, so come hang out and say hi!
Now let's get to the real reason I brought you here...
4. Let's talk about Notebooks.
If you're not familiar, in the Flash version of WGT players could buy Notebooks as a way to write and save notes in the game for every hole on every course.
If you already had a notebook from the Flash version, you'll be receiving one for free AND it will come ready to use, with all your saved notes in it!
If you haven't had it in the past, The Notebook is coming soon to the proshop for all players.
That's all for today. Let's talk again soon.
Thank you for reading and thank you for playing.

A side note about WGT Classics apparel - Players who own these items from the Flash version of WGT will receive them for free and should start rolling out to players early next week. Thank you for your patience.

Community Update October 2020
This week we released an update that added a new Putting Grid style to the game. For players who have played the Flash version of our game, you can now find a "Putting Grid Classic" mode, that's much closer to that experience.
To use it: Go to settings, find the "Putting Grid" option and switch from the default "Standard" to "Classic."
The Putting Grid Classic option sets the putting grid dots to move at the same speed as Flash did, changes the elevation colors slightly, and adds the lock/unlock putting grid feature.
In the next update we're adding a new brand of apparel to the game called WGT Classic. This brand will include apparel items that match avatar outfits from the Flash version of the game, so your avatar can maintain their style from Flash. All of the items will be available in the Pro Shop, but if you owned the Flash versions of the outfit previously, you'll automatically receive the apparel pieces in your inbox once they've been released.
In our first WGT Classic apparel drop, we're planning to release the following:
- Funky Fan Choice 2012 (male and female)
- Tartan Blue (male) bundled with Sweet Tartan (female)
- Vintage Plus Fours (male and female)
- Crimson Pride (male and a
- new* female version)
This is just the first release of WGT Classic items, and we'll be continuing to add more over time. One more note, some of the outfit names may change (I'm looking at you, "Funky Fan Choice 2012"), in case you don't see the specific outfit you're looking for by name!
That's all for today. Let's talk again soon.
Thank you for reading and thank you for playing.
