Thats great news.

Do you know if it also be available to rest of Europe at the same time and what the price in Euros will be or will we have to purchase it through the UK ?

Had a Twitter Reply from @SkyCaddieUK, detailed formal announcement of UK Skytrak info should be on Wednesday. be interesting to see what info comes out.SGB Golf article mentions RRP of £1695, Game Improvement Package at £79/year, which gives you the WGT Challenge as is being tried out now, plus will be extra annual fee for WGT Sim option.

Very interested to see of they come out with any timelines/pricing info for any of the other sim options, TGC im not expecting, but Trugolf E6 was very much present at the UK Launch so may well get some more info on that option.. maybe lol

For those looking at maybe getting one over from the US, if you get clobbered by the import duty etc, plus your shipping costs (+ insurance etc) then there might not be much in it. All depends on timescale I guess, again read somewhere that might not be available for delivery in UK until mid Nov.

Id give SkycaddieUK a follow on Twitter, they seem to be in the know on UK side of things

John, u don't need the 99$ yearly subscription to play the WGT beta/test. I never paid for it and have been able to use all features incl. test WGT. Reading between the lines it looks like that will change with the next app release. I really hope u are wrong on the extra charge to enable WGT. The 99$/year package was useless up until the WGT story came along.

[JohnMeyer]

Purely based the above on what that SGB Golf said. He was of the opinion (whether he got the info at UK Press day or not Im not sure) That the $99 GI package would give you the WGT challenge mode,( like the one you have now), and there would be a further annual charge for the full sim of WGT. For me that sounds in line with whats always been said regarding the function of the GI package (ie unlockes challenges etc), all depends on how much the annual WGT full sim cost is, hopefully will get some indication wednesday

I hope there's a Euro distributer announced with pricing in Euros. The exchange rate with the British Pound is so bad at the moment I could fly to the US and pick up a skytrak for the same price I could get one in the UK and I'd get a free holiday on top !

$2000 is €1790. £1695 is €2300. €510 difference in the price.

From a UK perspective I hope so too, will save me a few £

I bought my ST in the U.S.
The ST price in the U.S. is 2k$ + VAT that differs depending on what state you are in.
So if you import it legallly to Sweden and buy it in Texas like I did it's 2k$ + 8.25% USVAT + 9% duty + 25% Swedish VAT = 2950$ = 2655€.
Since EU citizens don't have to pay local VAT if they paid it in another EU country I would definitely have ordered it from UK if that would have been an option at the time.
