  Maybe to time consuming   ?

   

  Dear Shoop,

  Indeed this would be part of it, specially with 18 hole tournaments and unlimited play yet if lots would be organized, you can pick out the ones you fancy. I also try to focus the tournaments that I create in the weekends, so that more people can have a go. Yet in my CC, it remains a low enthousiast occupancy.

  In my CC the guy that runs it creates 10 free tourneys and encourages members to craete tourneys also. I am very active but lately he has been bogarting the 10 spots for free tourneys and it's hard to create one. We play against other CC's also, twice we have since I have been there and both times I had the best score in my CC. 

  I just started 3-7-12 but I have ben playing golf games all my life so I am a very quick study; after 22 days he came to me and said that someone in the CC had said there was no way I could be posting such low scores and be a TP already so they thought I was a 2nd profile.Now this pissed me off of course so I defended myself and put links where I had spent over 50 bux on clubs and even used to be an admin at an xbox site; I used to review games and have even wrote a strategy guide for 'Links 2004', it can be found at ask.com to this day. 

  strategy guide by me(Electro68)

  I told him that the person who accused me should report me to WGT so they could check my IP address and he should have had my back before coming to me with this news. He ask me to please stay and said this person must be jealous but ever since I been looking for a club that really wants an active player and does give gifts like balls and such because I live in SC and cannot play premium games.He states in the club forum that he gives gifts but as of  yet I have received one sleeve of wgt balls which I appreciate but I have won

   like 15 club tourneys.

  just me ranting, thx

  Dear Electro,

  Is that 10 tourneys running at a time?? That is a huge amount, specially coming from one person. Everybody should have its fair change to organize some tournaments every now and then. Every player can pick out whatever course they wanna play then and at their favourite circumstances, timings AND credits.

  And just like you, I am seeking a CC that is active, non-jealous minded, open-spirited and specially a welcome place to be in.

  Great post, till later!

  Yes 10 free tourneys at a time, which is the limit; 10 free and 10 'premium', so I think that is plenty to let everyone create all they want like he is stating he wants. I do not think he is malicious, just maybe inexperienced, he was put into this position by another.  Apparently there are a number of offshoots or branches w/e you would call it of this CC and this is #4. 

  I have been an admin at a gaming site before so I understand that it can be tiresome dealing with people and trying to make everyone happy so I have given him the benefit of the doubt but I just want to be more involved and have better tournaments w/ small prizes for those of us that live in uptight States like me and can't lay down credits to play premium games.

  thx again for your reply, just need to vent I guess and find another Club ultimately,

  Dear Electro,

  Okay for the venting, happy you did it here and shared it with us.

  A full tournaments table each time is really unfavourable I think. You can hardly see the trees in the woods anymore that way.

  Pity also that SC is blocking you for the credit play. I was there three years ago, coming from the Appalaches towards Atlanta, and never realized SC state had any such prohibitions.

  Good luck with your hunt and keep posting/playing/reading/venting!
