WGT is all about scoring better and making XP and that's fine, but
there's a lack of balance with other aspects of the game which could be
incentivized such as Diamond awards.
We win awards but do we care ?
How 'bout an incentive to win Diamond awards? Some diamond awards are almost impossible to win. What if every diamond award unlocked something at the proshop? Or gave you some credits based on the award type (as it is with tiers)?
Think if winning the diamond alternate shot or match play award you unlocked an "all 5.0" ball at the proshop, or a 300 yds driver, or whatever.
What if winning the diamond long distance award you could unlock a special putter at the proshop or even better win that putter?
What if winning diamond courses awards you win rare teemarkers and the privilege to never loose the ball at that course when hit in the water or out of bounds?
What if winning the hit very flag stick award gave you a special flag to be used on that course?
What if winning the diamond in the drink award (10.000 balls hit in the
water and each time making par or better), you won 100 sleeves of your favorite balls (that would be 1 free
sleeve every 33 hit in the water)?
What if winning an ace master award you won 10.000 credit (100$ worth of credits)?
What if winning the diamond double eagles or diamond holes in one, you also won 1.000.000 credits (1000$ worth of credits)?
What if for some diamond awards WGT setup a weekly single play tournament that only winners of that award can enter, and with a higher stake than regular tourneys? For example, a weekly tournament for winners of the diamond lon drive, or diamond birdies in one round, and so on to the toughest awards?
