   2 weeks ago I placed 72nd in 9 hole tourny at Kwa... I got an email saying I won 28 credits, but I never recieved them in my account..

  Last week I placed 39 in 9 holer at BPB.. I got an email saying I won 84 credits, but 1 only rec'd 1 credit in my account..

  Please help... To date I have spent $50 on this game, and I obviously am enjoying it..

  Please reply with a msg to my inbox, as I am not getting notifications on replies to my posts

  EDIT:  The total credits for each of the tournaments below was 800 in the Tour Pro tier with a 144 winner share of credits.  Corrections are listed next to the strike out info...sorry for the confusion.

  I don't know anything about the e-mail you got from WGT, but I did I check the tournament standings for WK 49 and Wk 50...9 hole Unlimited. 

  WK 49, you were in 54th place.  The total purse was 100 800 credits with a winners share of 18 144 credits.  54th alone paid 0.232 percent of the total purse and you were tied with 108 other players...the pay out was (virtually) zero for each of those tied in 54th place.     

  WK 50, you were in 39th place.  Again the purse was 100 800 credits with a winners share of 18 144 credits.  39th place paid 0.450 percent of the total purse and you were tied with 81 other players...the pay out was 0.01 each for those tied in 39th place.

  You're learning.  Play the Weekly tournaments just for fun.  Its hard to even get the price of balls back...even if you finish in first place.

  Just for fun? You call sweating out 17 inch downhill, 12 footers, that break 3 feet on BPB #15 fun.?????   

  And, I hafta buy at least 2 packs of decent balls to help me eek out that 31 or 32..

  I Look at the Bright side though...My career earnings are getting closer to pricehcs a penny at a time..Yea your right... I guess it's fun..

  No patience is needed on this thread.  A player was a bit perplexed about credit winnings and I attempted to explained how it works and how the weekly tournament's meager payouts don't amount to a hill of beans...even for the winners.

  Well said Joe..considerring the amount of people who play in the weekly tourny's, the payout could be beefed up a bit..
