  Just a suggestion to let us either give away or toss out balls we don't want to use anymore. In keeping with that I would suggest that we can give away any equipment in our bag. I like the sell option but it would be a nice feature to also be allowed to give away equipment we're no longer using :) Its been paid for and no different than gifting.. please?

  Thanks!

  Agreed Jen.... especially the bit about the balls, which I would be happy to donate to a newcomer who could make good use of them, till they get going properly. Unfortunately, it isn't going to happen. WGT will definitely see this as a clash of commercial interests ! They want the new players to buy their stuff from day one, not receive free gifts !

  What WGT may not realize however, is that if these players can see how much a better ball can help them then they may be more willing to part with their cash to buy more...

  I do understand the commercial aspects.  I don't know as WGT always needs to maximize the commercial aspects, or if their formula for maximization is entirely correct.  

  I have gifted Callaways (from the pro shop, of course) as prizes in CC tournaments I set up.  I have received a dozen more mediocre balls in the same way.

  I will not use them. It would be nice to be able to gift them as prizes.  As mentioned above, it might stimulate pro shop business and actually increase sales.

  Hit the balls you don't want into a water hazard.  For example the first hole on St. A's. That would give you a chance to par the hole and get credit toward level up points and credit for hitting a ball into the water.....kind of a 2 for 1 deal!!!!!!!   lmao

  It will never happen. All multi-accounters and restarters would just shift the same set of clubs from one account to another.

  Good point on the clubs.  I agree. Shame it's hard to do something decent because some douche bag will come along and use it to cheat.
