  Don't you love the way Chris belittles people for wasting their time earning credits via surveys, then spends an eternity writing diatribes about every problem he has with the game?

  Not belittling people but stating a FACT, taking time to do surveys it not really free.  Time is money as they say.  If Tesco told me to stand out side for an hour handing out leaflets and in return i get a carton of milk and a loaf of bread.  have i received those items for free? Or have i had to WORK for them???

  It would be a foolish business decision to play against you under those conditions. I do know my limitations. I'd try a Starter Club and Ball Uneven Lie round with you though. Are you willing to play for no credits?

  this is off point, but if i could have your attention please.

  played and took first in CONGO CTTH READY GO #45258 febuary 22nd.
  
  never got paid??? watched my career earning go up, but no credits!
  
  waited until next day to check and still no credits and my career earnings went back down???
  
  emailed wgt to correct the problem and got this response below.....
  
  
  Tournaments typically pay out within 15 (fifteen) days of the tournament's closing.
  
  If you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us again and we will be glad to help.
  
  
  never knew you had to wait 15 days for a RG payout even though I play several a day for the past year.
  
  but thats the elevated customer support you get with WGT NATION, lol.

  any suggestions are appreciated.

  15 days for a rg to pay out is horse ***. Someone back at headquarters needs to start buying their coke from me cause what was sold to them is cut with something else maybe baby laxative cause they are full of it.

  I knew it....makes sense now. as they sniffle and look bug eyed at the computer screen trying to get thru all the emails about credits owed and game glitches. Then they scroll thru their auto responses to send a reponse from the noreply email address. Should of thought about offering them another fix myself, maybe i would have my 600 credits by now.

  Sending emails in such cases is the wrong course of action. The same thing happened with the L Whistler on that same day. Sometimes RGs close and forget to pay out. All you need is to post the RG number on Icon's wall. I did that on Friday and he worked his magic in under 2 minutes (I guess it would take longer if he isn't on, lol). The RG was payed out and all 50 people could enter the next 1.

  P.S.: Lol, I was about to post the complaint on Icon's wall for you, but I see you already took care of it. Shouldn't be a long wait now ;-)

  So I guess thats a push? I won't play your game and you won't play mine.  lol

  It's all good with me. Enjoy the game however you want. I'll be doing the same.

  You wouldn't mind then If there was an all tier tournament for a free holiday and free rounds at Meirion Golf Club.  I decide to create new account, boost up to buy new clubs (with a few ranked rounds slowly getting better until I'm a tour pro) then tee off in tournament with my normal game from pro tees and win tournament with 51 beating your 57 into 2nd place

   

  I wouldn't bother doing that, I'm sure they would've limited your score after your great front 9 ;-)

  Did I mention any pro?  No I said what If I restarted a new account.  No one else, but myself, a player who could easily score better than 52 from pro tees. So If you were actually 1st in a tournament for big prize (got a lucky round) and i come along in last minute and knock you off top with a 51.  Do you think? "well done Mr pro you managed to beat the system" or are you angry that a cheat stole the prize from you

  Not really an issue for tourneys, since they're either tiered and you would only compete against other pros (for a lower prize), or they're open tourneys, in which case we'd all have champ tees and you'd fall flat on your face with low level gear from the tips.

  You'd only have an advantage in MPCs, but since the new system that's no longer common, cause people who were doing that in the past, seem to get tiered up to legend after 25-30 rounds, therefore they no longer play MPCs against higher tiers. Or at least it seems that way.
