Company Priorities Revealed: "Passes Gifted Leaderboard" vs. Update Mess

  I am the proud owner of a small 47 member country club. Even though we are a level 9 club we limit our club to 50 members, so with that said what is the use for us to use the CC passes. Our club will never compete with the likes of the 250 member clubs. Once we got the shot pal and putter pal I see no need in trying to advance in levels. If you want to see our activity level you can go to our website, we have it laid out pretty well there. Or I have a better idea you can look at our members activity on their wall. 

  I said all that just to say this, Who cares about the CC passes. Again the only benefits to them that I see is your CC gets put on top of a list of CC's showing that your members use the passes everyday, or buys passes every day. It does not truly Judge the quality of the CC or the quality of their members. We put our efforts into other things rather than worrying about using some stupid pass!

  I applaud WGT trying to do something that recognizes country clubs, but these passes don't recognize quality, it only recognizes quanity!

  Now I am off my soap box, and thanks for reading my rant!

  Perhaps a hat for the proud "winner"

  

  Or maybe just a waste of space left over from those clashes that still somehow found light instead of doing something useful.  Or maybe the clash crap is not dead?

  At last !!!   A CC pass leaderboard or something similar that rewards players who are prepared to fritter their credits away.

  I've been e-mailing customer services asking for this for the past few months in secret, thankfully the request has not been in vain, good to see that you listen to your customer base WGT.

  Thanks

  Careful, they might actually take you as being appreciative of this idea.

  Yeah, scary when u think he may be one of the 1000's that email WGT

   

  Any way with my campaign hat on, what about having pink Callaways, I asked for this long before hpurey started his rampage about yelloways.

  I will of course start a new thread.

  It has only one good:
  Now we can easily spot those CC members who don't follow my plea to stay away from buying passes, and we might further minimize such nonsensical waste of credits.

  Apparently not.

  The leaderboard has been ON for two days now, and still no entry. I'd suspect that some of my members would have bought passes...

  So, to me, it's even more waisted work, just like the "Bank" tab.

  Do you programmers ever think anything through? People might not want their gifted passes reveled. It is an invasion of their privacy. I certainly wouldn't want my private dealings displayed without my permission.  Another gimmick that will surely backfire by sales of passes dropping!

  It only takes gifted passes I presume. Its empty in my page as well.

  Yep - that's the wording. Very strange to have a leaderboard for these!?!
  I thought it might mean "gift to the CC".

  Problem is, I can't try it - won't waste 37 cr!

  Not much more than the activity log on each profile. There, each gifting is shown for ev1 to see.
