  I want to put a warning/ advice out there to new players that dont have the money to buy credits. (Some of us can only get 7 credits a day from carousell ect) Guys dont buy a "cheap" driver ect. If you can get the starter plus driver as well as clubs. I did notice that by buying a bit more expensive ball you can drop a few strokes on your game. Save up till you got enough to buyd a decent set of clubs, drivers ect. I made the mistake to buy a cheap driver and putter and the combination with cheap balls dont work. I got rid of it as the temptation to play with it is to great. Wasted hard earned credits. lesson learned.

  I've sent you 2 wedges which will help you stop ball better.

  Learn how wedges react then get on to better clubs.  When I started out I saw wedges as most important part of game (more shots under 100 yards from shorter tees)

  Wow Chris, what an amazing thing for you to do. I think its the people here, more than playing the actual game, that keeps me around.

  Careful Chris. Gifting balls and clubs will soon be outlawed by WGT... ;)

  To Chris , Thanx a mil for the wedges will try to put them to good use. I really did not put this post up for freebie's but to try and help guys that just started out. it is a complete waste of credits buying cheap stuff. Like the old saying goes , penny wise, pound foolish. 

   

  To the other question, nope we dont get surveys ect here, just the seven credits a day for the carousell. maybe once in a blue moon we get a 2 credit advert to watch.

   

  Just again, thanx Chris, it is highly appreciated.

  Since January, WGT have made the hundreds of thousand credits I had saved up to buy a gift card WORTHLESS the moment they removed them.  All I've donr since is help a few out with equipment as why should I pay 495,000 credits for a round of golf that costs me £59. I rather help people out so they dont have to use their credit card to give WGT any $$ THANKS AGAIN WGT
