To me this brings up a question I have often wondered: Why do club owners get testy about members who aren't active? I mean, if a club has even one open spot, what's the point in getting rid of anyone? From a practical standpoint, maybe having a 25 spot cushion would be better than just one, but what advantage is there to the club to kick out anyone before they get to the edge of full?
Club owners want club play. Why? Do club owners make money on club activity? Can anyone answer that? Do club owners make money on club play?
WGT has added free Putter Pal and Shot Pal to clubs, and that gives a bigger incentive to players to join a club. Especially a higher level club. Otherwise that stuff isn't free.
WGT has added these "Passes" which can increase a club's points somehow, but add nothing to the player except some incentive to finish the game he/she is using the pass on. If Playing Alt-Shot with the pass, and another player quits, one loses the pass.
And why are almost all of the tournaments confined to the courses with the most chances to lose a ball? Rarely do we see the front 9 of Congressional, the front 9 of Bethage, the front 9 of Kia, or the front 9 of St. Andy's in either the regular Weekly and Monthly Tournaments or the Ready Go Tournaments.
Not only does WGT take a usurious 20% for electronically offering the Ready Go games, but the games are mostly presented on high risk courses like Congressional back 9. The more water holes the better chance to make a quick $2.00.
I avoid those courses and ready go tournaments because they are worse odds than playing in Vegas.
My last gripe is why can't they program this game to permanently archive my preferences as regards sound? And permanently opting out of the ridiculous Par 3 HOI Challenge? I have wasted thousands of clicks turning that stuff off.
That being said, I still love the challenge. Wish my meter was more reliable, though.
