  I think the news of the a new career earnings leader, should have its own feature on page 1.  WGT needs  to do a feature on JJ656   the many countless hours of enjoyment and hard work he has  put into this game and  not to mention the money he has contributed to wgt coffers along the way.  Congratulations Sir,  I tried to make you a very special trophy worthy of this accomplishment but failed miserably.  Hopefully your reign as career money leader  and your enjoyment and zest for this game last longer.  You have mine and  many other golfers on here admiration!

  Hard to believe that someone finally caught and passed Sam on the money board.

  I personally don't hold much stock in the money list since it only shows your gross winnings and not the true net winnings.  I think we would be shocked to see the real numbers if entry fees were deducted from them.  I have a paltry $2,800 in winnings but even though I generally net $2 for every $1 in a ready go, I know the numbers are misleading.  I win some in skins, blitz challenges, etc. as well that don't show up in earnings lose some there as well.

  I get hit up by folks all the time thinking that since I have won $2,800 that I have that much in credits available to give to them, little do they know the true net.

  Anyway congrats to JJ for the money list and also for getting to level 117.

  Wow JJ .. you did it the hard way.

  Interesting how these 2 Super Legends of WGT got to similar earnings totally different ways.

              Level           Ranked       Stroke Play       Top 10

  JJ         117                12,653       13,524              7,812

  Bollux   102                  5,146          4,230              2,952

  Not to take anything away from Bollux but ... the trips he won by winning the  US Open, The Kia Challenge, The Blair O'Neal Challenge to Myrtle Beach, and some other European tournament did a lot to boost his earnings.    

  JJ however grinded out Ready Go's like no one else I've seen here .. (except maybe Yoban and Sebicu and Spozz1) ..... The 4 of them were in a horse race to take over the top spot.    

  From myself and all the members of Deviations .. Congratulations JJ..... well done.  Now go Ice that Index Finger ... mine hurts just thinking about it !!!!

  the question i have is how do people win so much "money"....just by playing tournaments?...or do they win money while playing other people one on one?

   

  i see the leader for this month is over $500 already... again, is it just from tournament winnings?
