I have been playing this game for a while. I enjoy being able to compete against players around the world, and friends.This is one of the best virtual golf games I have played.

I like the fact that you can pay to upgrade your equipment, or keep playing for free. The issue I need help with is I just got promoted to Tour Pro. SWEET! Finally..Then I quckly realized that now my free clubs can't compete with the added distance, and my stats and scores are dropping quickly (almost as quickly as my enjoyment for the game it seems)..

I realize that WGT is a business and trying to make money, but I am not prepared to spend 20-60$ minimum on clubs just so I can continue to play.

My question is: Can you drop back down to pro? Are there other free clubs out there that will support the new distance, or will I have to start a new account everytime I reach tour pro status???

Please let me know!!

I play with masters that have the starter sets. I have spent no money and have upgraded all of my clubs and bought balls. You have to watch alot of videos and take surveys. But my Driver was 150 cr and it hits 245. My wedges wher 110cr and they can stop a ball on a dime.

In order: No, once you elevate a tier you can not drop back down.

No, there are no other free clubs. If you don't want to spend any money to improve your game, you'll just have to get used to figuring out how to get around with those, because...

No! In fact, creating a new account is a violation of the Terms and Conditions you agreed to when you signed up for the site, and will result in a permanent ban.

if that was true, you would probably have 100,000 less members today

No, you can't move backwards.

Yes, there are other ways to earn credits. Watch the free videos for 7 credits a day. Will take you about 175 days or more for a 1/2 decent upgrade.

Or do as I did and do the crappy surveys that may or may not pay off. Be prepared to spend lots of time taking the "qualifiers" for the surveys and then not qualifying at all. But after all was said and done, it was well worth it since the free clubs really aren't worth even being free.

And I for one would be happy they were gone.

Keep an eye on the "earn free credit" offers. I've never bought credits, but by signing up for some offers I've been able to get all the clubs and balls I want. For example, when my anti-virus subscription expired, I got it here -- had to pay for the subscription, of course, but I had to get it anyway, and got 1,250 credits to boot. You can buy a domain name for like $8 and get 2,500... Just an example, but right there is a full set of clubs. Or sign up for a book club, get 4 books for $4 and 2,500 credits -- just buy a few more (cheap) books within a year.... there are good deals to be had.
