Not read everything on here and sorry if someone has said this already,the players that got a hole in 1 on the challenge and won 50,000 credits what do they do with them?Are they worthless now with no reward cards to buy.

Many old time Legends of WGT early days from 2009/ 2010 are no longer playing due to this BS, and with this new incentive from WGT, the ones that are still here will leave even faster.

Just quoted this same FACT yesterday.

WGT is and has been on a "slow" but steady decline my friends or should I say, the WGT we once all knew and enjoyed.

What if this was their plan?

Perhaps the game is overheated from credit greed, perhaps the servers are overloaded, perhaps the reserve funds for credits' equivalent value must be cut down (don't wanna speculate about the reasons...)?

And, when the dust has cleared, they may profit again from re-installing "new" items like gift cards.

WGTpizza:
You mentioned there were other answer(s) you would like - are there more, other than this one you have highlighted?

Not then - ty for coming back to me so patiently.

Alas, now I have a new one:

Has the "missing mails" issue been addressed / ameliorated?

(As a reminder, I get "news" mails but none regarding tournaments or my CC-ownership which are more important to me)

Do you know about the choices you have in your Account under CONTACT INFO when you click Change? I think they all default to unchecked.

Maybe its like this?

WGT keep jacking up the prices.

WGT make it harder to earn credits, almost impossible.

WGT make it so only those with the most credits have a chance to win.

WGT get rid of the cards.

WGT drive the members who are non profitable away.

WGT sells to the Golf Channel.

Golf Channel gets a new toy, with inflated prices, and only members who can pay to play.

A very good bit of business for both parties in my book, but at the expense of the customers. It seems a bit strange that the affiliation comes up on the same day as these mad increases.
