  I just joined this year. (Feb) Managed to get to Master (L77) by doing surveys to get better gear - - - to the value of around 8000 credits so far - -have never paid a penny. Best  improvement was joining a country club to get shot meter & putt meter. I really can't work out why WGT want so much for better balls - its daft!

  I can't find any info about how you progress to each level. Any ideas where its laid out?

  Cheers

  Hi All,

  Well - 7 years here this month. YES that is "SEVEN" !!  Any of the old crowd still around ??

  When I think back to when this all started, and I wasnt here right at the very start  - we only had some CTTH 's available and then we got our first 9 holes and then our first course.  WOW 18 holes - that was really something !!

  Well, we've come a long way from then, and it all looks great. Am still enjoying it immensely. I dont have millions of $$$ to spend on clubs or balls so am just battling around trying to improve my ranking. I only play 18 hole rounds, but Tour Master very soon. 

  Love Chambers Bay - my best so far "65" - if only I could putt  lolol.

  All the best from "Down Under" -  bad luck Jason, one very gutsy effort.

  Cheers

  Hi Lily,

  Thanks for the comments. The name - yeh, just a bit of a joke from my sons. They actually found WGT before me and registered me on the site with "that" name lolol. All a bit of fun, I got use to it so I've just left it there -  good to hear ya got a bit of a chuckle out of it .

  I see you are still hitting them fairly straight Lily, will I ever get to that level ?? well I wont die wondering thats for sure lol. I thought my 65 on Chambers to be a pretty fair effort considering I'm playing at 3 levels above where I currently play - now, if I could putt - well that would be something lol.

  WGT Highlights ??

  Well -  there will always be one highlight above all others and that was playing in the very first "Ryder Cup" in 2009 - just awesome. I couldnt qualify now of course the rules have changed, but at that time I went through the qualifying rounds and put some good scores together - good enough to qualify anyway. Paul (TallAcePaul) was captain (European / World Team) and teamed me up with my fellow Australian Vic (Coolswing) in one of the doubles matches. I dont think anyone gave us a chance but we thought otherwise, hatched a plan, and went for it. We won by 1 shot. By the time the round finished it was approx  3am in the morning Australian time, I was totally knackered and had so much adrenaline in my system I couldnt sleep lololol. I remember Pauls email coming through after the scores were posted - I reckon I could here the cheers from across the miles lolol. 

  From memory - Seveking organised it, and did an incredible job, We lost that Ryder Cup but we went down fighting as they say. It was a blast.

  Great to catch up, hitum straight.

  Thanks to everyone for their comments, all the best to everyone

  Cheers

  Doug

  @MBaggese

  WOW - thanks so much for the gifts, that's just to much - I dont know what to say, except thanks a million.

  Funnily enough I loved those starter wedges, now I will have to start all over again ad redo my calculations lolol. I would have made TM with those wedges no trouble, I've even heard of players in the past going all the way to Legend using them - was a bit beyond me though lol ??

  OK gotta run - thank you so much, you're a real champion.

  All the best
