  This is the second time I lost my 880 point days.  we had a power outage that delayed me from starting my game today 6/26/12  and I guess I finished a couple minutes late.  but then I don't have a clock synced with WGT's  It's a shame I play against my Brother and sometimes its hard to squeeze a game in after work to be able to complete it before the bell rings.  I was told last time,  I encountered an unexplained glitch and lost about 140 or so consecutive days of playing and there was nothing they could do about it.   Now I loose it again not as many days, but still

  A random 3 hole practice mode hit counts for consecutive days played, try that next time you are short of time mate

  Better still is to go to WGT Community, then golf courses. Select a course, then a hole. Play that hole and that counts towards your daily play. Choose a par 3 and with a birdie you're looking at two shots having to be hit.

  Actually, you can earn the credit by playing one hole. Go to WGT COMMUNITY then click on GOLF COURSES. Play any of the holes on the 7 famous courses and you'll earn the consecutive day credit. Play a par three and you'll earn the credit in two or three strokes. Another hint...use a free ball and you won't risk loosing a premium ball and you won't use up any ball life.

  I really like this option when half asleep in the morning, before the first cup of coffee...

  FWIW - selecting Starter balls back and forth will cost "precious" time, and a green hit on a  Par3 costs 1 (one!) stroke of ball life. Plus there are quite a few Par3s where losing a ball is very rare...

  OTOH, how lucky must a person be if losing the bonus (twice!!!) is a reason to complain?

  Stop worrying about the consecutive days played, when it came out i was desperate to keep it going, would go to great lengths to carry it going even when my internet was down, then i thought, "what's the point" you dont gain or win anything for consecutive days, and best thing i did was miss a day, then now i don't mind if i have a weekend off.  Its pointless, especially when you get to level 94+ and it takes months anyway to move up a level, missing 800 points here and there wont make much difference.

  You're right Chris that once you've got R11's, there's no need to stress about the daily XP bonus. However given that the OP is at level 89, he's probably striving to get to L90 ASAP to get the best irons that are available.

  This may sound a bit off, but I actually try to AVOID the consecutive days bonus.  Part of this is that the CC I manage encourages players that are lower leveled but higher tiered players.  It forces me to play smarter and focus on course management, which allows me to compete with the "big guns" of the game (Ask Win1Soon - I managed to keep up fairly well with him in a couple stroke play rounds).

  Sure, I might hit Legend before I can upgrade my clubs - sure I could inflate my levels to get to the upper level G20s or R11s - but in some ways, for me, the game's more fun when I have to use my brain rather than my "braun" during my rounds.

  I'm at 61 consec days, it does suck that it stops at 880 :( I think it should at least increase by 2 points or something every day past 8 or w/e 880 is at x_x oh well...
