    Hi Alex, are you still with WGT? rumor has it you have left, hope it's just a rumor, for I feel you have always been a straight shooter.

    World Golf Tour Update

    I don’t know what is going on with WGT, but I can tell you one thing for sure, the more you update your clubs and balls the harder the game becomes.

    I’ve been a player for a little over four years, and yes I stepped up and spent my hard earned pension money on upgrading clubs as well as tried the higher end balls, might add that upgrading your balls has a very marginal effect.

    For the past year, the vem on WGT has really stepped up the difficulty of the game, not just for me but for many other long term members as well.

    It’s as if after a time and many upgrades they realize that we have gone as far as we can go, and that there is a limit as to how far one can upgrade our equipment, as well as how much more money they can squeeze out of us, so they would just as soon get rid of us.

    In the past four years I have missed five consecutive days of play, yep I’m an addict, at least I was, for the past week I’ve taken a sabbatical and gone back to playing Backgammon, needless to say it‘s not the same, and truly miss my golf game, but it’s a lot less frustrating.

    Another big change on WGT is the availability of free credits, they have seem to have disappeared, at least for the most part, most where just rip offs wanting you to spend your money, I found out it was cheaper to just spend your money directly with WGT, you will get a lot more credits for your money.

    I don’t know what’s going on with WGT but sad to say there greed for more of our money has sent them on a downhill run.

     

    When will it end? I personally have no idea, but this I do know they are losing a lot of us old timers.

    I think he left a long time ago.

    Long as in measured by years.

    I maybe wrong, perhaphs someone else knows more.

    It could of even been greed that caused him to leave

    Hi Chris - long time no see!

    @DuwayneCook: Me thinks that Alex has left the building before I started (2011). Another straight shooter is still out there, but he seems to have some restraints :(

    DuwayneCook:
    When will it end?

    It will end if and when you make a call for the end. AFAIS, the company won't change, thus the change must be initiated by you.

    The game's for fun, so play as long as the fun will last!

    DUWayne...You keep mentioning money...I would suggest any hobby you take up is going to cost money...IMHO, WGT is one of the cheapest hobbies out there, given how much time many of us spend on here...compare it to bowling, or casinos, or trips, or even buying novels to read...you can't take the money with you, so you may as well spend it on what you enjoy...even feeding ducks in a pond costs a loaf of bread.

    Agree with you OP. In my opinion games getting boring. Club stuff keeping me going but interest waning.

    actually, alex hasn't been around since before I started, so circa summer 2010 :)

    she was very nice and we had many dialogues over the years!

    I think the game has not become harder, but maybe tees became longer and courses harder. actual game is pretty similar, except for few changes in how rough plays, for examples.

    the free offers are more of an issue of content providers, we have no control over, so it's something that is out of our hands:(
