  I wonder what the take up for the custom avatar and bag is. WGT are ultimately a business and they must think they're going to sell some of these things. Not sure my 2,500 credits is going to be quite enough for either.

  Maybe we should all pool together for the phone call to Mr WGT to tell him what we think of these changes!

  RootsRo:

  Max wedges with more spin that the Clevelands..... Why?

  Custom golf bag.... cool, prize 300K credits.... LOL

  Custom Avatar.... Nice!, Prize 500K credits.... ROTFL

  You might wanna take those to your 6K round od Golf at Kiawah

   

   

  LOL, according to the Kiawah Resort web site you can get the following package:

   

  CHAMPIONS CHOICE PACKAGE 

  This package contains the ultimate in luxurious 5 star accommodations, golf on The Ocean Course, home of the 2012 PGA Championship, and award-winning dining options.Includes your choice (1) of the following:• Two rounds of golf per room, per night on ANY course (including The Ocean Course)• Dinner for two at ANY restaurant (including The Ocean Room and The Atlantic Room) 

  The Sanctuary - Garden View Accommodations, only $400/night

  The Villas - One Bedroom Scenic View, only $300/night

  So if the accomodation and the golf round cost $ 400 per person, this makes $ 1600 for four persons, what happens to the other $ 3400, when buying the Elite package?

  Maybe you can get a custom golf bag for the rest, which is only 50% customizable.

  The CTTH course is really nice, thx WGT.

  nail on the head

   

  You can aim on a bullseye in a dart board for 50 points. or you can punch 3 darts into the larger target of a treble or a double square on the same dart board. for 60  or 40 points

  Which one is the most profitable?

  the larger target or the smaller?

  The longer i think about this the more it baffles me. Did WGT confuse taking customers serious and seriously "taking" customers?.

  Is there even anyone with more commercial/marketing knowledge than a 3 year old? 

  Off course i do understand that as a company you are looking for ways to get more revenue. Revenue however is for the biggest part made through existing customers. You create revenue by listening to your customer base not bending them over.

  Wow, I will not be using any of it, since it will take a lifetime just to get some of those credits from the earn free credits page. What a waste of upgrade or updates or whatever the heck it was.

  Ok, thank you WGT, you have started my day with a chuckle, this is a test of the cheer leader system.

  Those wedges look pretty sweet, I'm sure you have filled a market demand for those puppies.

  Can't wait to save up for the phone call, maybe I will deposit the 98000 credits I need to make the phone call. Do you have robin hood by the bag, uh is your refrigerator running.

  Tell you what Mr WGT, put 100,000 credits in my account and you can phone me.
