  Last few days I've been able to get over 80 credits a day, yesterday, thanks to some easy offers from SponsorPay for watching a video, I was able to get over 110 credits, and just buying cheap clubs as I please, seeing that I have no need to buy any meaningful club until L98 (plan to start saving when I get 30k or so XP away for the R1), so I yesterday decided to get the Tour Pro irons for fun (odd yardages though for some, lol).

  I'm a legend who plays MP almost exclusively.  I beat approximately 75% of Tour Masters I play against, and 65% of other legends I play against - would be higher if I didn't live in the sticks with a shoddy connection.

  Total amount the Stroke has spent on WGT to date:  $0.00

  You can't be the best for free, but you can be pretty damn good.

  Just my 2 cents

  If I sit down to surf the web I turn on my other laptop and click on the live gamer to get dozens credits a day. 90% of the time my left hand isn't doing anything anyway!  LOL.

  As was stated, I also have more creds then I need. I think I'm going to upgrade my NIKE 85s for the 97s, I like the added precision & distance. The meter will work w/ my wedges.  But I do like the 85s though and they have been tested to be Great Irons .

  Extending the WGT experience to Twitch TV is interesting. Adding graphics, 'chalkboard', free voice & text chat, and using the streaming software is a lot of fun for a broadcaster like me. All of it is free and I am a little surprised by that fact.

  I have all the cool golf equipment. I consider watching my 3 monitors, surfing the web, and pressing buttons to get creds very easy. I used to run a Sony* 'SEG'* w/ hundreds of buttons, plus other equipment, while directing live TV and watching over 29 monitors so I don't find it difficult or bothersome.

  One thing that hasn't been addressed in depth is how cheap this game is relative to other forms of entertainment. Going to a live sporting event can run you between $25 and $5000 for tickets, depending on the event. Usually a couple hundred bucks for an average pro team. That gets you only 2-4 hours of entertainment. A fraction of that can buy you weeks worth of entertainment. Hell, even something like going out for dinner with friends for wings and a pint once a week can run $20 each week. Put half that into WGT if you aren't a big socalite and you can play with top quality gear. 

  I see no issue with spending money on this game, I spent a few hundred in my first eight months here and I don't think it was that big of a deal. If I was cash strapped maybe. However, since a member of my CC was unjustly banned, I haven't spent anything dime. I probably would have continued to shell out cash, but now I use surveys, which provide more than enough to play top quality Nikes and the best clubs my level can buy. 

  You can't fault WGT for making money, after all they are a business.

  just a quick calculation

  2300.00 divived by 4 is =575

  devived that by 365 =1.575 dollars a day

  sounds cheap enough to me

  Hello Friends, One question, How many free credits can be won in Spain per day? Thanks

  OK I`ll bite . How many free credits do you get in Spain ? Since I dont live in Spain I honestly cant answer that question . So why dont you tell us that way we will know . Now living in the US I can say that I have been playing the game now for 6 years . I have never spent a penny out of pocket and every club upgrade and ball purchase was done through free credit offers .

  The only cost that I have made to this game is my time and nothing more . Currently Im L106 Champion tier . So can you play this game have top gear as well as use decent balls to play and do it all without any cost out of pocket ? The answer is absolutely yes . If you live in the US and are willing to invest your time doing the surveys and videos to earn your credits , yes you can .
