Buying pre-owned clubs

  So I but a TaylorMade Z-wedge for 110 cr one day. Thought it would give me more spin control with ES balls. Nope, but that's for a later time. So I sell the wedge back. I got 50 cr for it. OK, I get it. Just like in real life the club is now "used", so I don't expect to get full price back for it.

   

  My question is, why can't you then by "used" clubs at a reduced price from WGT? If folks are selling them back, and if this is really supposed to be like the real thing, wouldn't there then be a rack in the virtual pro shop of used clubs to purchase. Or does that make to much sense?

  Jeff... I understand they instantly donate all used clubs to junior golf programs.  Same with all balls they dredge up from the water on Kiawah #17.

  Oh, well then. If THAT's the case, I'm all for it. :)

  If that were true though, why aren't I standing on the tee box for 15 min on every hole waiting for the young up-and-comers, using those used clubs and balls, to find their ball in the fescue?

  Jeff... that's because the kids are only allowed on Pebble Beach and Congressional before they are opened to the rest of us.  WGT has taken into account that their valuable members don't want to be waiting on every tee.

  And no, you cannot sign up for the junior golf program just to get to play Pebble! 

  I know what you were thinkin'.

  Why thank you, Jeff.  I write screenplays and TV commercials in real life so I get to make stuff up.

  Although every word above is the absolute truth.

  I bet you're getting lots of good material bangin' around these forum boards, eh?

  Indeed!  At least two of my screenplays are inspired by YancyCan and Andyson.  You should check out those guys.  But don't tell them 'cause then they'll want some sort of remuneration.  I do have 2 WGT credits... I could split those between them...
