    They were removed and replaced with the highly sought after WGT credits.

    Cheers,

    MrSancho ... you are exactly correct ... they do NOT make enough money ... as evident by cutting out prizes, the cost of virtual equipment, the increased costs of virtual equipment, the time between releases (programming time) etc. etc.    

    This is still a company using Venture Capital funds. Advertising space only brings in so much.     Anyone who thinks they are rolling in cash should try to run a I&E for a start up dotcom company with 30 employees and figure out for themselves how "rolling in dough" they are.   

    Again, just one persons opinion.

    Well I'd rather have the credits. A lot of people on here don't play the real game.

    I still think this is odd! They started out with GOLFSMITH GIFTCARDS as prizes! Why would they change it is my question?

    MrSancho ...

    I believe they changed because they don't have to lay out any cash to give out credits.  It's free to them.    They have to actually BUY the golfsmith gift cards with cash.   Cost cutting .... 

    Now don't worry about this and go become a Legend .. your almost there ... :)
