I would love to see the financial statements that show that WGT is worth billions.
One of the reasons that I play WGT instead of TWO is the realistic look and the high quality courses that are offered. I would like to see WGT commit to producing 3 courses a year until we have a selection of at least a dozen real courses. I don't want made up courses, that defeats the whole purpose of WGT, if you aren't photographing real courses that we can relate to, go back to Links or TWO or any of the cartoon golf sites.
I think that WGT needs to do a better job road mapping their strategy for new stroke play and CTTH courses. Maybe put out a 5 year plan, doesn't have to be 100% where they end up but I know most players would appreciate it and the input might help WGT.
As for the $4.50 per sleeve golf balls, you don't have to buy them. Generally in life the more expensive the better but I get along nicely with balls that cost me about $1.50 per sleeve and have for a long time.
Someone also mentioned that WGT should supply the demand. Not really, WGT has 5 million customers, if they were worth several billion dollars as also stated, then as a financial consultant I would say that you should charge more and offer less. If you reached $2 billion with a few courses and people are really willing to spend that much for what you offer, you aren't pricing your product high enough. That is not realistic, nor is the $2 billion value.
You will lose a certain percent of your customers each year, that just happens. I find the same 25% of the people complain on WGT, threaten to quit, etc. all the time. My view is do it, if you don't like WGT, if you think they are a scam, if you think they make too much money off of you, then pull the trigger on your account and go elsewhere. If not let's work to help make WGT a better site.
