Well, my own story adds weight to the general outcry regarding the new Pro Shop policy, based exclusively on levels.
I had an email access problem with an other WGT account that prevented me from entering country clubs. So I ended giving up on that account and opening this new LGOLF account. Then, in 2 days, I made it to masters, only to discover that, at my level 14, all the master clubs are locked for the next weeks, if not months of play!
This is immensely frustrating, and I think WGT has to loosen its Pro Shop policy and only restrict the access to select clubs, based on levels, while allowing players to buy suitable equipment, based on their tier. Anything else is bound to anger a multitude of players, and even turn some completely off.
