I like this thread.
I have to say that I have ALWAYS LIKED the "Awards" feature. It just adds a little "jolt" of some excitement to have these pop up from time to time.
I think alot of these newest Awards are definitely geared towards giving that effect to some of the newer WGT Members ("Straight Shooter" and so forth) - so they are a nice touch.
I am SURE that many of you who have been here a while (myself over a year) had the experience of having about 4 or 5 of them pop up one after the other upon completing your first round after the Update. Instantly DIAMOND Level on a few of them LOL.
ON A SIMILAR NOTE....
In my Country Club - 1 Putters and Par Breakers - I am adding some Club-Exclusive Awards - and they will have prizes attached. These will be "Awards" of my own devising for situations that I think deserve some recognition, at least at the Country Club Level. *** If you meet the club's Membership Criteria and would like to JOIN US, let me know.
Some of these will be for ACHIEVEMENT, some of them will be for ODDBALL situations, and some of them will even be FUNNY. Stay Tuned. As examples....
** "Drop 9 Award" - Any completed FRONT 9 or BACK 9 with ALL 1s recorded on the scorecard for "Number of Putts". Must be PAR or better for the total round (which is probably a given anyway).
** "Scrambled Omelette 9 Award" - Any completed FRONT 9 or BACK 9 with NO "Greens in Regulation" BUT ALSO a score for the 9 holes of PAR or better.
Coming Soon..."Roller Coaster 9 Award" and "Roller Coaster 18 Award". AND OTHERS.
