  But you have no problem paying 200 credits per ball.

  Maybe true, however you have PAID for upgrades! Whether or not (and highly unlikely as you sound tighter than Scrooge) you have put cash into the game or PAID via the credit offers (where the hourly rate is less than a 3rd countries wage), you have paid and contributed to WGT coffers in some way.

  This game is pretty cheap entertainment IMO (and yes I actually open my wallet) and whilst I seldom play TruGolf courses, they are pretty cheap. If WGT had some high definition courses that were available as a pay as you play basis, I probably would play these.

  Whilst you can play for FREE, if everyone just used starters and never upgraded, there would be no game.

  It is a business and they have devised their business model. I do not always agree with it, but it is not my business, but I find it mind boggling when players who don't put actual cash into the game think they are actually playing for free...yet they upgrade equipment (especially balls which are recurrent purchases and the real cash cow). A credit is a credit.....somewhere there was a transaction.

  Just wait for them to be free for a day like today or occasionally available in a WGT tournament. Cabo is my favorite course here so I consider it a treat to get to play it for free a few times a year. By waiting for it it remains special for me, kind of like treating myself to a great real-life course once a year. I don't spend the rest of the year complaining about how unaffordable they are.

  With other courses available I certainly don't complain about the two that charge green fees. They were developed by TruGolf, not WGT. I'm pretty sure WGT has to pay them for the use of their product.

  FACT.

  Kept saying because we were too good, demanded over and over that we end the game with no decision recorded. We were on the fifth hole and all square. Partner was flabbergasted and pleading with my partner and I not to think badly of her, she had nothing to do with it.. Me and my partner just LOA's off. Very weird.

  You don't have to play any course on this site. Not sure what prompted you to start this thread?

  Yup, that's standard MO for jack the lad.

  Compared to what  a IRL round cost `50$ & up!! this IS a pretty cheap way to get your golf fix on & agreed the green fee's are very  reasonable for the Tru- Golf courses, but i would be nice if WGT brought them back as FREE for awhile like last year! i would think just from ball usage it's a win,win ..      btw here in the States you could earn sometimes 1000 credits a hour,  no wonder my Nike shoes are always getting more expensive :0   ..                                                                                                                                                            via the credit offers (where the hourly rate is less than a 3rd countries wage),
