I guess I have always been a supply side guy.
If the need or desire for a product in the market increases, then the price will go up to the point where the demand starts to decline. If the product has no demand, then the price will decline until the demand occurs.
The exception is of course the products that you have to have or that just suck so bad that no one wants them.
In the WGT world, no one who plays on this site has to play on this site. No one on this site has to buy clubs and balls. No one is holding your hand in the fire. If you don't like it you can freely leave. If you think it's a rip off, quick buying things and playing in tournaments that you lose, it's pretty simple.
However many would rather *** and complain about the system, or the costs, etc. so that they can feel good about themselves. Boys and Girls if you don't like WGT leave, it isn't your site, it belongs to the owners of WGT and they can charge what they want to charge, give us courses at their leisure, etc. As long as we have somewhere between 1 customer and 6 million customers and the ball buying, club buying, etc. is at a level that tells WGT that the demand exists, then don't expect lower prices.
