  8 hours till new free pass..........buy and use a pass.............12 hours till next free pass

  What's wrong with this picture????

  Yes I have noticed this - greed personified.

  But most of all when the game crashes not only can you not resume, but lose the pass. Fooked up IMHO

  I wasn't meaning this to be a complaint as much as report of a possible issue to be fixed when WGT tweeks da boo-boo's.

  I accept this is another revenue maker from WGT,  trying to squeeze ever more money out of us, but there are many cc members out there throwing their credits at WGT trying to help their cc's (not a bad thing). 

  However, can WGT throw this dog a bone here, and maybe give a multi-buy discount on passes ?

  I'm not asking for much,  but say you bought 10 passes in the pro shop, wouldn't it be possible to sell them for 350cr say.  I doubt WGT will respond, the same question has been asked about  balls and there has been no change, but I thought I'd ask again.

  Question for WGT.

  Do you keep the money collected for Club Passes in a separate pile for those games that do not complete and no XP's are awarded to the club?

  Bet you get a good laugh at the end of the day.

  TopShelf2010:

  If a member leaves or gets removed from a country club, does the country club lose that players XP contribution?

  And if a player leaves or gets removed from a country club, do they get to keep their accumulated XP's and apply them to their next destination?

  Could be why there is a contribution column in the player list !?  Would not surprise me if you do lose them

  I've had an issue like this as well.  Was playing an alt shot game, one player kept disconnecting (twice), we finished the match but i lost the cc pass & xp's for my cc.  WGT must correct this problem.

  This doesn't appear to be the case, all.  I copied the member list into an Excel SS and ran a total of our CC's XP Contributions.  One member recently left and contributed 22 XP prior to his departure.  

  The total from the spreadsheet is 22 XP less than the total being shown on the screen.  

  It appears any XP contributed to the CC becomes CC XP, whether the member stays or goes.

  Multibuy discounts have probably been an alien concept to WGT since the start, certainly since I've been around.

  Look no further at the price for buying credits. $20 for 2000c or a not so bargain $500 for 50000c.  You'd think by now that they would had started offering some sort of discount for buying Creds and Balls.  It not only makes the purchase more appealing to the customer but the extra commitment also ties them into the game for longer.

  They are giving 1 Free Pass each Day. It's a start.

  I am all in favor of a Ball discount. Buy 3 or 4 sleeves & get 1 free.

  Also, I am on a fixed income, and  to me iron set prices are out of reach. About   2 weeks ago I purchased the WGT   next step up from  starters for, I believe, 335 credits. 95-185 yrds (vs 90 -180)   it fits perfect. (what a difference  5yrds can make) I use starter lob wdg 50yrs & sand wdg 70yrds. (Sold an older Driver for 125 cr to defer some of cost of new Irons) Over time I purchased a Ping 3Wood 225yrds, a Taylor made Hybrid 205yrds (like the TMHB, it has saved my A@@ many times . the 3 wood is ok, but the biggest kick to my game was TM 9.5 dgr Driver257. it shaved 4 strokes off. Its a great club, the 1st 2 days  I hit 305 317  & 327

  That was great until I Treated myself to an early  Birthday gift, The TM white driver. It is incredible!  The second day I hit my best drive 357yrs. Constantly close to or over 300yrds,  even into the wind. Have over 20 BOOM BOOM shots. (Actually more like 30some, but the ball  went on & off the back of the green. Therein lies the one drawback. It is often to much Club for some Courses. So I switch back & forth between Drivers

  NOW these new Irons have helped me take 2-4 stroke off in 1 1/2 wks.

  IFF I can just get  more consistent with my putting>>>> (I had improved greatly, bur the Move from Pro to TOUR Pro with the faster greens has been a killer  at times.

  IT SUCKS TO DRIVE THE GREEN ON A PAR 4 OR BE ON EASILY IN 2 ON A LONG PAR 5 AND THREE PUTT

    THANK YOU for    indulging me
