Gifting Legend Balls.

  I'm a Tour Master, probably always will be, I can't putt. I belong in a large CC and we have tournaments all the time that credits towards clubs, balls ect are given to winners. But I can't gift credits but also can't GIFT any legend balls, clubs. There has to be a way to at least GIFT upper tierd equipment. The equipment is not for me. I would think that since WGT is losing money on this request, it would be a no brainer. I looked up how many credits I would of spent just in 2013 alone. I would of gifted over 17,000 worth of credits,, just to legends. I got tired of looking. I could go back 3 years. That's just me, think how much money the rest of players would of spent on equipment if only GIFTING upper tiers were allowed. I'v suggested this before, but to no avail. It's a gift to the proper tier, not to one who should not have that equipment.

  No there isn't.

  Items locked to tiers above Pro cannot be gifted by any users, only by WGT.

  As alosso states, you are not able to donate tier specific items to higher level players, though it is acceptable to donate higher level items, strange I know, but apparently goes back to ye olde days of WGT.

  Play the member you want to gift credits a game of Blitz Challenge and make sure you don't win.  A forfeit on the 2nd hole works out nicely. Read the FAQ about Blitz Challenge for the specifics. We use this method to pay credit winnings in Community Organized Tournaments. In most cases the winners of prizes prefer the credits over equipment or GB's.

  No you can't and there's a VERY good reason for it too!

  It would be a multi accounter's wet dream, just imagine it send your second, third or thirty third account all the stuff you've won (conned out of) from higher tiered players with your hack account.

  Aside from the above, and for no reason now...Legend balls cannot be gifted...no matter what...why?...no clue now, as the balls available now, are better than "legend" balls.

  Naivety at its best, there are sooooo many other ways if you were so inclined John?

  We run a shot of the month in our club. The winner recieves a sleeve of balls.   I don't understand why a legend can't gift Legend balls, or Max balls.  That just doesn't make sense.  I'm with ya Corace.

  Cerino has given you guys the work around. The only challenge is both players have to have that amount of credits in their account and WGT is going to take a small portion of that as their fee. I believe blitz challenge is the smallest of all the fees

  My other thought is this: Are you buying all of these credits to gift this stuff to ppl. If so just let them accrue 5 or 10 dollars worth of stuff and go buy them a gift card from subway or wherever.  Message them the gift card details and they can turn the gift cards into credits to buy the balls that they want.

  I understand this won't work if you are using credits you have won or obtained via the free credits method on the site.'

  I belong to Clark/Corace's club and me and another club member run a bi-monthly "Balls to the Wall" knockout tourney. My co-sponsor gives away nearly 5k credits worth of balls for each 4 round tourney. 

  I think what Corace is saying is, why is there not an option for a legend to gift ANOTHER legend, "legend" balls. I myself play with the cally legend, and have to often accept the Cally hex+ ball. Not a huge difference, but a difference never-the-less. 

  Some of our winners play with the 650c Max balls and we have to do the "work around" challenge play and give a % to WGT. It is just an un-needed step. I would understand not being able to gift legend balls to a non-legend player.
