Bwat - seriously, thanks for taking the time to give that write-up, it's appreciated!

I guess I'll give Skytrak a little more time. I am getting anxious, and I hate how they launched their product to market.. That said, I think could justify the price of their base unit, and some reasonable software prices (hopefully far less than 2k..). I don't care at all about online play, I can play golf alone in real life and enjoy it, so no reason to feel otherwise in the sim environment.

If Skytrak doesn't offer what I'm looking for, I'll probably try to get a new GAII with the courses mentioned. That would probably satisfy me for a number of years.

Bubba - any idea on how long I'll have to be patient?
