  I have two games on the 26th, two games on the 27th, here it is the 28th and I'm told I lost my streak. Not many days this one, but this Is twice. WTH?

  Don't forget that they are not your 24 hour days but GMT days. It's easy for me as I'm in GMT.

  It's a tricky subject for US players, because it doesn't follow your local clock. There's a time gap of eight hours between games indication (PST = UTC -8, company's location af SF) and CDP (GMT = UTC). Read the instructions above right in the game window and observe the run-back timer there.

  OTOH, the streak is only visible to you and of no major importance. It's highly overrated, to say the least.

  (Yes I know that a player "loses" a few XPs with the streak. After losing 500+, 365 and 120 day streaks, my reply is, "So what?")

  I use the timer provided by WGT that tells me when I am into the new day and how many hours left. Zero hour GMT is 6:00 local. I know how to tell time.

  "So what?" Well, I am giving my consecutive day first round to my country club with maximum points being 880. Except when you lose your consecutive days you get to start over. So instead of 1400+ combined points for the game donated, it's only a couple of hundred until I get back to the 880 level.

  But mostly, I play every day and I've been ripped off.

  Oh, well. Back to it!

  Thanks!

  Again: So what?

  Your CC is L13, they got all you possibly need from the "benefits" list, you are to expect nought at L14 and only another grind to L16 where the Big Black Hole of "benefits soon" is waiting for you and your mates.

  You buy balls, you buy CC passes, your CC owner honours your efforts - it might be time to wake up and recognise the one and only true relevance of this race of CC XPs:

  The benefit of the company.

  Agreed - your superiors have ripped you off when pulling you into this pointless race. Alas, I'm sure that you missed the CDP all by yourself.

  Never mind - enjoy the game!
