  WGTdbloshoe:

   We're introducing a new WGT tournament option that requires players to use specific virtual clubs, balls or swing meters to enter a tournament.

  The idea comes from players in the special WGT Forum tournaments hosted by WGTdbloshoe, that require using WGT Starter Cubs and Balls for an added level of difficulty. Player feedback was so positive that we've decided to start hosting more of these tournaments, and we thought top players would enjoy competing with the challenge of the 3-Click Swing Meter in a free stroke play tiered tournament on sunny Cabo del Sol. 

  The free Cabo 3-Click Challenge will launch later today, and you must equip the free 3-Click Swing Meter. Good luck and let us know your ideas for other Required Item tournaments you want to play next.

  ^ this caught my eye right away. If WGT can create tourneys where a specific swing meter is the only way to play then can it be done where starter clubs and ball would be stipulated for entry and play only? If so, I'd like to see some tiered starter club and ball tourneys ASAP. Throw in Uneven Lies as well so it's a little hard please? 

  I could see  Hack through Tour Pro from the first tee(easy). Master and Tour Master from the second tee(medium) and Legend and Tour Legend playing from the third (Hard) tees. We use different tees up to the third(hard) in our Tough It Out Tourneys with Starter Clubs and UL.

  Offer It and They Will Come. ;)

  Yes they will be building on this idea of having required clubs or balls.  I believe they are rolling it out slowly to make sure there are not any issues with it.

  I agree!!!!

  I have to say, I'm stunned by the reaction elsewhere in the forums that this is a disappointing update. The implications of this particular innovation are profound, imho. 

  Being able to create tourneys that are club or ball specific is FANTASTIC! 

  It's a way to address a lot of the ennui that's present for the top players, and get all kinds of life out of a variety of club sets (who knows, top players may spend more to get downgraded clubs to take on a particular challenge in a specific tourney).

  People have been clamoring for level playing field events for ages. If WGT have really managed to pull this off in programming terms, that's a huge feather in their cap, and I'm certain was no simple programming task.

  I can't wait to see what comes of this! Hooray!

  Hey Bud, have you seen me with the Golden Starter Plus club set in my bag? I'm already re-living a more fun time. Just got them and having a blast for under 800 credits. :)

  Wouldn't it be nice to just play in a Stater UL Tourney for once?  ;)

  All good until the last bit.

   

  Why just the US again for free balls?

   

  It's like you never listen and are happy to make a rod for your own back.

   

  Halloween is celebrated all over the World.

  Ermmm 'Udo'; One can never be 100% certain about anything in this life - in saying that - I'm 99.9% certain something just flew over your head.

  Forgot to say - I too, as others have already said,  like the idea of being able to restrict CC events to starter equipment/balls.

  Plenty of folks enjoy playing those but are unable to post screenshots etc as proof of equipment used. The option to restrict clubs/type of ball used would perhaps encourage more to participate.

  WGTdbloshoe:

  Get the new high-level SpeedBlade Iron Set from TaylorMade to add higher launch, more carry and less roll to your approach shots. High performance ratings for distance, precision and spin make these new irons a great choice for players competing at top levels in the game. Unlock at Level 75.

  More choice fair enough.  I never knock that.  Are they the same as the Bladez, save level and price though?? Fair enough question I think.

  Not a fair question then???

  WGTdbloshoe:

  We'll also be running a special promo on Halloween in the USA, so mark your calendars to play WGT on 10/31.

   

  Any answer yet on why this is USA only. Or have we read this wrong.

  I get an advert on my screen for a free ball on 31/10. Does that advert not apply to me?

  If it doesn't then common courtesy dictates that you don't ram this injustice down our throats with random ads.

  Yes Peter i think promo is only for US players. It is a shame is was it is.

  I will also add,, in my time here anytime that they are in the wrong you will never get a answer. Never!!

  No.... what you will get though is some BS beat around the bush tactic.

  What can i say Peter?  Very sad! But that is how they roll here.
