  Hey WGT!

  So I have been playing this game for years and sadly I'm just in high school now and come from a poor family -- my laptop is my prize possession! I love the game of golf and this is the best way to stay connected to the game when there is snow on the ground!  

  I have done surveys and watched videos but can't seem to accrue points to afford anything other than green fees and balls -- which don't last long!  

  Is there anything I can do to get clubs to match my level (L53) so I can compete with other people at my level.  Thank you so much for any advice or help you can offer!

  Seems you maybe directing your question to WGT by the title of this thread, so contact customer services for that, doubt they can help as they wont reduce prices for individuals.

  If you were asking advice from other users then ask your club mates "coke heads", when i say users of course there was no pun intended. They may help you out.

  So you play real golf, well green fees can be expensive so poss play a little less real golf and buy some imaginery clubs on here. Summising one round costs say $30 then miss one round and you can buy everything you need with that.

  Thanks for your advice -- I joined a random country club, didn't pay much attention to the name -- I don't even know if they are still active.  Is there anyone's that are actively recruiting?

  I honestly don't pay to play real golf, I can't afford it.  But I have a few friends who work at local municipal courses that bring me along sometimes.  It really sucks that golf is my biggest passion but I can't afford it unless I mooch off my friends, which is not a good look.  

  I really need to find a second job because right now I can only afford to pay for necessities and not any luxuries -- I envy all you guys with sweet clubs!!

  Since you're so passionate, you'll learn that golf is not a game to compete with others but to compete with the course and with yourself. This is perfectly possible with Starter equipment.

  You need not play 15 below Par - Par with Starters is a feat in itself, and the best players can do it from the tips!

  This would certainly make you happier than the short-living lies you are telling.

  Have fun!
