Since I signed up into WGT, about one year and five months ago, this was my first free rental weekend that I was fully aware of.
I free-rented all the clubs I was feeling curious about. Played as much as I could to only realize that I already had the ones that work the best for me.
I am still trying the X putter and it might be my only purchase if I see a true benefit to my game, but so far I can not complain about this opportunity of using all the new toys for free.
Might it just be a sales strategy ? Of course it is but I didn't come across any obligation of purchasing the tested items. So, I have to disagree with the OP, when read :
Tommyknocker:
... It's ridiculous that WGT does this stuff without thinking of the effects it will have on a person's psychy, not to mention their credit stash. Shame on WGT for this atrocity and the mental wounds it could have and probably has inflicted on countless individuals. What's next, half price golf balls, free trial putter pals, discounts on anything else that isn't a club? Is there no end to this madness? ...
... LOL My inventory had more stuff in it then a hoarder's garage. Thanks again ...
Now, I can state that English is my second language, so deep down I have a feeling that I must be simply missing the point of a great and sharp post with mere good humor an a little pepper here, which I love (humor). So, again, respect to the author of this thread, and my humble statement of true enjoyment of my first free-rent weekend in WGT, guilt free, the same way I passed the "Black Friday" without spending one cent too ..... so far ... ;)
Cheers !
