Recently, there's been a wave of gifting generosity going around the WGT community, and in the spirit of the holidays, we just had to share!
- alcaucin, a L92 Legend, gifted ddaukas a shiny new wedge and fmagnets a sleeve of golf balls...just because.
- SilentOmegaWolf, a L84 Legend, offered up anything in the WGT Pro Shop for 200c or less that turned into a stylish new avatar for WGTer, Buggyyy.
- opyeuclid, a L94 Tour Master, gifted some premium golf balls to both andyson andfrappefort for their contributions to this very funny "WGT National Enquirer Special Report" cover, featuring WGT's own WGTicon and WGTpizza.
- Sometimes "generosity" can simply come in the form of new friendships, like fmagnets, a L89 Legend, who welcomed enough new friends to reach the "magic 100" to achieve the Diamond Socialite award.
- mrcaddie, a L94 Tour Master, got a little "12 Days of Christmas" fun started by recruiting 10 other generous Santas to gift random WGTers for 12 days. Be sure to keep an eye out on the Forums for posts titled, "On the XX Day of Christmas..." to follow along.
This is more than plenty for me to be happy. It makes me feel great to see all of my fellow golf lovers giving back to others with nothing expected in return. I personally know every thread that comes into the forum with gifts and such( I may not respond, but I see them ). I read them everyday and get that warm feeling in my heart. The important thing here is this, friendship.
I now that not everyone can afford the luxury items to play this game, but think of all the "bollox and priestess's" out there that we will never get the opportunity to watch if we don't get them on the right track.
I for one, have met one of the best golfers coming up in tiers from one of the many gift threads. This gentlemen has the talent to be the best on here. Funny enough, it all started with a free wedge that took on average 7 strokes (yes 7) off his game. This is the purpose of this movement for me. One particular golfer on here did the same for me and now we as a community are doing this as well. She is the most amazing player and friend.
I thank you all for stepping up and making this game what it is, you guys are the reason I still come around!
And to WGT mods, you guys have been great no matter what people have said. Keep your chins down but your eyes forward! I know there is some people that are hard to please, but you can't make everyone happy all the time. However, I thank you for putting this up in the "WGT News".
