This thread has been a very
interesting read. 30 pages after two days demonstrate a lot of concern by the
target audience.
Whenever there is an upgrade of
computer systems at my work, there are a lot of upset people, teething problems
to be sorted and eventually it smooths out. I'll start with a positive - the
new course looks great and like a lot of the CTTH courses I just wish we could
play a stroke play game there, even if it was just nine holes.
I have not looked at the elite
collection in over a year because it is so out of my league. Which doesn’t mean
it shouldn’t exist - but the valid point has been raised if "you don’t
want these things then don’t buy them".
I think the dissatisfaction stems
from the wgt’s nerve to request such prices. The wealthiest members of a society
may accept the need to pay more for items for a variety of reasons (eg better
quality of service, quality of product, the urge to not be at the same place as
those they perceive to be lower class etc) – but even the very wealthy feel indignant
at … for example paying US$150.00 for a cup of coffee. Such actions only serve
to irate the customer and encourage them to go elsewhere. I know wgt does
listen to its customers as they must, to be a successful business.
One upgrade I believe is long
overdue is the reward for reaching the higher tiers. Is it still 200c for
reaching Legend? It takes a lot of commitment and often some money to reach
these higher tiers and the reward is not even enough to buy a set of descent
balls. Such is the disparity between what is given by wgt and what is
requested. These differences can cause the Wgt client to have their nose put
out of joint, even if they do not desire the product offered.
I am reasonably happy with
WGTPizza and Icons efforts. A task I would want. But if look at it historically
– often the messenger is shot. It’s not right, not everyone will do the
shooting but that is what happens.
