  easiest way to earn credits is to win them in tournaments. Built up more than 53K that way

  Congrats concerning your 300,000 cr in earnings. This is the shiny part the story.

  How many credits in time or real money did you spend in clubs and practice balls before the "money rain" started?

  Is there a way I can buy credits and gift them to someone in my Country Club?

  I am sorry but there is not a way of doing that.  You can only send them equipment as gifts.

  in terms of real money, I spent less than $50 on the game. Only to buy the RocketBladez irons and the max control putter, to allow me to compete as a legend.

   

  In my first few months, yes I did videos and surveys. I also did some offers using a throwaway e-mail address. Main thing I did was to ONLY buy clubs until I reached the Master level. My first purchases were the cheaper variety (WGT pro driver and irons). Then I bought the 10 cent balls for a bit of added distance. At the TM level, I upgraded to the 65 credit balls for a bit more distance, as well as spin. BY learning the game with the cheap balls, the game became EASY once I reached legend and started using the more expensive balls.

  Thanks for the insight, Derek.

  We have only a few surveys here and I don't find a way to qualify on a regular basis. Videos pay low, IMHO the whole "free credits" section takes too much of my time.

  Therefore I buy my credits, about 15 $ in total in the first three months, only major investment (50 $) being the clubs that I have now, G20s, when becoming Master. From then on I payed 10-15 bucks per month, using the very beneficial Zong deal, about 3,000 cr for 15 €.

  I used the Tour-SD long time, then changed to the lvl 33 Callies (playing less now).

  It's not free but a budget pastime compared to many others, e.g. real golf or nights in town or a wife ;)

  One thing about the surveys I found. If you are rejected, you usually still get 5 credits for trying. Back when I did surveys, I could get 20-30 credits a day by being rejected

  Personally, as an old bloke with a limited lifetime ahead, I value my time higher than that.

  The 5 credits were not offered the last 2 times I tried the surveys---I also was rejected on everyone I tried--Does not take many to realize that they are all fricked up too. I say the hell with it --when I finally run out of credits I will just quit. I am not going to pay real money to play a game that has no ryme or reason for where your ball goes off the clubhead..  I am assuming that the surveys will not be fixed either.

  Fed up in Ohio   Maybe i will find out what my wife looks like again!  LOL just kidding

  What do you need credits for? You can play the game without spending a single credit. You just have to learn how to play with the white rock. This may be a fall back position but if WGT cuts off free credits and you are as addicted as I am, it is necessary. And if the game has become less challenging with all of the expensive balls and clubs that you own, you are ready to step up to the white rock challenge. Show WGT that you don't need to be a part of their business model and profit chain.
