    hyena64:
    Heck if it weren't for Corwyn, bless his heart, coming up with the starter equipment tourney, which is excellent by the way, & this from the tourney's anchor, I would have left already.  I found I can have some fun with the free stuff, & will have to continue to do so from here out

     

    Yep, what Corwyn and company are doing is really fun and they deserve nothing but praise. But if you ever want to go back to using your other set of clubs, I took the liberty of toppimg up your ball count with 2 sleeves of what I saw you were buying from your activities. I hope you don't mind, but even anchors deserve some appreciation ;-)

    I think the prices of the new Nike/Wgt stuff is quite reasonable.

    At the end of the day a top player can put $5 of their own money in their account and turn that in to 10000cr pretty quickly via RG's & MPC's. Nobody would actually put $100 in their account just to buy a hat............would they?

    The points made in this thread are numerous.

    The NIKE website sells the same shirt for....NIKE Golf wear.

    The  reasoning  behind the ludicrous pricing is because their demographics are scewed.

    Yes, there may be a handful of players on here that make 100K(+) per year; but those players are few and far between.

    Just my 18,000 credits: or is it cents?

    LOL !

    Whats an MPC btw dazza? match play credits?

    forums are a funny thing, they are mostly there for venting and are barely read buy game makers and when they are, and the game companies do what's demanded thins go very wrong.

    For instance Star wars old republic the biggest on line game launch ever, at first it was a 6 hour wait to get on servers, people were in uproar make more servers we wanna play, so bioware did loads and loads of new servers everyone could play all the hundreds of servers pretty full.

    a month later when the free trial ended many people decided that like most star wars things its not as good as i thought lots left, then the people that where left of the hundreds of servers didn't have anyone to play with so they left,  they then tried to merge all the servers but this didn't help as it never does as everyone loses there community ties.

    then in the end the most successful online game launch of all time went free to play just 11 months after release.

    Bioware already said there biggest mistake was opening the new servers they spent a long time figuring out how many server they should have then they through it all out the window and killed there own game.

    Just saying be careful what you wish for, what if they give us 10 new courses say the items are free you just have to unlock them (break 60 50 etc) but now you have to pay £10 a month to play 

    The game would die in a month they know this and they know as nearly every other single game companies knows free basic model and pay for upgrades was the best idea ever for money making 

    sorry for the long post :)

    Yeah that's right Josh. Well it's actually Matchplay Challenge but you get the picture. It's for credits.

    Chris, Overtheedge, Druss, Alcaulin tyvm for your kind words re the video, I'm delighted it brought you all a few laughs. Believe me when I say, sad as this is, I was pissing myself laughing as I was writing out the script for it. It don't get much sadder than laughing at your own humour but it did make me chuckle :)

    re; wgt logo'd gear........shouldn't we the people get paid to advertise for them?  lol, maybe a shirt or hat with their logo would be a good price to pay for them to advertise to some eyeballs while getting the daily walk at the mall :)

    i'm no elite credit holder or player......but how much for a shirt without the wgt logo :)  kinda devalues the equip for me :)    

    I wouldn't mind however a nice coffee mug - they never leave the house and would look nifty sitting beside me as I mishit ball after ball ;)
