  Unfortunately, there is not much we can do from our end other than send the player a private message. We do not disable Clubs for these reasons and it would not be proper to remove the owner form the club and strip their title. I just sent CHIEFBROOM a message asking them to contact you. 

  If he does not get a hold of you, you may just need to create a new club.

  looks like not only is the owner AWOL, but so is 90% of the club Chris....why not gather the ten or so that are active and start a new club and then begin recruitting

  Chris do you have admin rights ? If you do then you can transfer the club into your name. If not, i agree with Berry. Start your own m8 .. i had the same problem all owners went AWOL and i didnt want to see the club fold so i transferred it into my name and now we have a thriving CC luckily i had admin rights.  You will be more than welcome to bring your guys over to Freedom Fields and join us. If not m8 .. go to wix .com make yourself a club website, create a club and off you go. The only down side to owning a club and a website is a lot of hours put in for very little reward. But if it is something you enjoy then go for it . I like Stats and leagues and making website look good for members so the hours are not a problem for me . If you need any advice on website etc, just send me a message and i will do my best to answer it for you 

  good luck

  We were in exactly the same position as you a couple of months ago. The decision had taken ages to make, but eventually all the regular players, about half the club, all left, and we formed a new CC, UK Golfers Elite 

  Best move we ever made, and the CC is now going from strength to strength.

  Take my advice, and go for it.

  Hi WGTadmin,

  our club is in the same circumstances but our owner Dean1966 has been missing for nearly 2 months and fear for his well being above anything else but  we can't contact him.

  I have previously contacted WGT customer support several times who have said that they can't help or release any contact details and did ask them to send a message on the club's behalf but said they could not do that either.

  However noticing that you have actually done this above, could I ask you to do the same for our owner too please.

  Knowing that he is well and /or returning or not will help tremendously in getting back to normal at our club.

  Sincere thanks

  AK
