Well ... now we're well off topic.
So in an attempt to bring it back, I for one am fine with the free CC Passes, and for those that can buy them, that's awesome.
Why? Because it gives CC's a bit more breathing room and the members get more from WGT. It's not just a ploy to take our money. Yes, I've now bought 4 CC passes, and being greedy in an attempt to get the CC 2,000 XP in one single game I had a few crashes and loss passes along the way.
But what it does do is (1) give CC's more games that can be played as they tier up. And yes, some will spend 37 cents for each pass they use. It's not much. (2) give more XP to the CC and the members as the CC tiers up. (3) gives the owner the ability to assign directors and other managers to assist with the day-to-day responsibilities an owner has to deal with by themselves (I know ... that's coming).
I hope the money brought in will bring even more additions to the CC's ... and maybe someday we'll even get a universal handicapping system to where an Amateur can compete with a Tour Legend in a CC event ... and CC's can play against other CC's under a universal handicap system that makes the game fair for all.
In my opinion, the CC pass and the changes to the CC's is a great start, WGT!
But you know, you won't please everyone!
