    Hey,

    I would like to suggest the idea of a possible payment plan/ monthly subscription plan much like other regular PC games (MMO World of Warcraft, for example) in which regular players get unlimited amounts of the important 'consumable' items (putter pal, shot pal, and a medium tier ball) that saves them money but is still viable for WGT. Right now it's quite expensive if you play regularly every month (comparable to an MMO subscriber) and just keeping up with decent balls and shot meters might cost $25pm or so. If you treat this as just a 'game', it's significantly more expensive than playing an MMO that offers premium features for only $15.

    This monthly plan could also include other small benefits, like a few rounds free per month on Trugolf courses. If a package like this was offered for $15pm (and the balls are 200-300 credit range for example) i would gladly take it

    Would definitely like to hear others' thoughts.

    It would be ok as long as it wasn't compulsory, as some players don't put money into the game.

    why would you bring something like this up.  they would then create a way to make people pay $5 a month to even compete. ridiculous idea to upon others. =\ hope you didn't give them wrong ideas to think about

    An excellent idea and one I would support, depending, of course, on the details of cost and what was on offer.

    I currently spend $50 every three months and use 250credit balls, of course in the past that was higher when I was purchasing clubs regularly (and will be again when I get to the requisite level).

    The devil's in the detail but I like the idea.
