  So,...all the British winners should band together (let's say that 50 do)...send one US player $20 each and have all the hats delivered to him and he can buy a ticket and hand deliver them to Britain..great holiday for him.....less than half price shipping for the Brits....lol......we can call it WGT money laundering.

  As I stated in my post back on page 4, it would only cost me about $13 US to send a hat over to Europe.

  You want to use your gift card? Order your hat, have it sent to me, send me a few sleeves of Callys and I'll send you your hat. Simple as that. The Callys will cover my shipping cost. Is it ideal? Of course not, but if I can help, I will.

  Send me a friend invite and we can work out the details.

  This is the post Shoe is referring to above.

  Hi All

  As our esteemed leaders in WGT are obviously going to do sweet FA about sorting this out.......

  I was thinking about what to do with the $25 gift voucher the other day and thought this would be a good idea.

  This $25 dollar thing from the USGA is useless to all of us who qualified outside of the States. What I thought would be a nice idea would be to send the card by normal post to a golfing charity in the US who use golf to help kids from poor families. Check out the following link:

  http://www.thefirstteemetny.org/club/scripts/public/public.asp

  It will cost the sender £1.28 (from the UK) and if a few people do it could be a nice contribution.

  So those of you who have not destroyed it in a fit of pique, thrown it in the bin or are saving it for removing the ice from your windscreen please send it off.

  TAP

  Please visit other thread for more detail.

  Just another feather in the mess of WGT cap...lol. Not sure why this continues to happen.

  Has WGT ever thought about using a section in the forum for polling people about solutions to these kinds of issues....would be great for updates, prize choices etc.....at least we would have a majority say in what happens and an advance result of what would be done.

  Give us some options here, a lot less upset people for sure

  This would require that they care to listen which has not been granted at all in the past in quite a few examples.

  Amongst other things, I remember the big list of community proposals early this year. Despite many contributions and a common request to the companty to comment on it, the only message which poor Icon had to communicate was that there would be no answer. Nada, niente, silence.

  I only check my mail once a week.  Got my card today and went to the USGA website.  Only $46 to ship the hat to Canada for a total of $59.15.....lol. 

  Has anyone got a response from WGT?  If so what was it?  It looks like the card could be used by anyone as long as the 16 digit number on the back of it is given to a person to order online. 

  Might just keep mine in my wallet.  Would be great for opening my house door if I lock myself out.  Or maybe my neighbors.......

  Im lucky enough to be in a country club primary american, so one of them is shipping me my hat. But the shipping prices is absolutely crap. 55$ for shipping? I rather just buy a hat off of ebay..it would be way cheaper for me.
