KING16W: Thats crazy. So i play the mobile version. I have a bunch of silver coins and barely any gold coins. There is nothing i can buy with silver, everything takes gold. So i have to pay $$$ to buy everything? Lame!
You can play the mini-games and bet on the outcome with the silver coins, so as to amass more if you win. You can also upgrade the mobile apparel items with the silver coins, getting you more distance on some types of clubs, more forgiveness on putting, greater feel on rough, etc.. In the last upgrade, wgt "let" mobile users pay real gold credits for some apparel. That would be a mistake, imo, considering how easy it is to get the silver coins with just the daily spin, even if you don't play the mini-games and win them.
