Such a harmless, almost passive, thread yet it had enough in one post to really tick me off. Before I say why, let me say Par 3 courses, why? Only par 3 courses I've ever seen & played were night course's in Houston, TX. Like I said, why?
Now to what got at me a bit. First, I know that any person who moderate's the forums here does not have a job where it's easy to, continually, keep your cool. And I get it, 100%, when a moderator get's personal with a poster, especially when one is asking for it.
That said, it pisses me off to no end that the subject of money and what one person has spent at WGT in how long, are tied together in a way that makes it seem as if WGT is just scraping by. Paycheck to paycheck. I'm fairly certain that the majority of players here understand, at least somewhat, what kind of money it takes when you are talking pro golf courses, copyright's, equipment, the white-collar labor, and the list goes on and on. However, I am also certain that those who do spend the $$ here spend enough to make-up a generous piece of WGT's financial pie.
When added in with advertising income, sponsored events from big names, and a funny rule here or there to heavily encourage a player to purchase a sleeve because he's on his last one of THAT sleeve, I'm willing to wager that WGT is not filing for bankruptcy anytime in the near, or far, future.
So, please, for the sake of my blood pressure moderator's, please try to refrain, when you just can't keep it in any longer, from any reference's to WGT doing poorly financially. Trust me, there are a whole mess of people today doing FAR worse than anyone at WGT.
