This may be the wrong section for this ... feel free to move where it's most appropriate.

We haven't seen an update in quite a while, so I figured we could create our own dream sheet of what we would like to see in this game. I realize the zero skill money grab a.k.a CC Clashes are a big money maker, but I think this game is getting very boring and stale.

Here's my thoughts:

World Golf Rankings -- There should be a system in place that actually ranks players aside from earnings. Make it a rolling 12 month total and place point values on certain events. Assign the values based on the tournament importance (i.e. Virtual Tour, Monthly multi-round, monthly tiered opens, weekly rounds, etc.). Tier the points out to deter multi-accounting by making champions points worth more and work down the ladder. I know many of us would actually like to see where we stack up in this game.
500cr tierless brackets -- Most everyone who doesn't work at WGT knows that the multi-accounts love to lurk in the legend tier so they can play the 500cr brackets along with the monthly tier open/Multi-Round open. Why not at least take one of those avenues away from them?
Virtual Tour -- The current setup of one unlimited and one single is absolutely terrible. At a minimum it should be 3 rounds with the majors being 4 rounds.
Actual software detection -- Invest in something that can actually detect the cheats in this game. Personally, I would be more than open to installing some type of client that sends data back to WGT.
Ability to replace individual clubs -- I am a little surprised WGT hasn't done this already since people will still have to buy full sets in addition to the other clubs they want in the bag (that means more $$ for WGT). I know several people who would prefer to play a hybrid versus the 3i for instance.
CC bank -- No need for a lengthy explanation, we are coming up on 2 years of "coming soon" here folks.
More accessories -- There needs to be a better selection of avatars and individual customization options (hats, shirts, pants, gloves, shafts, etc.). I would like to see the items sold separately and give us the ability to mix and match as we see fit. Again, more $$ in WGT's pocket.

Just my two cents, anyone else have any good ideas?

Do not allow any level-up boosts at any level to be bought with credits, only real money deposits. This will have little impact on genuine players who are happy to deposit a few bucks to get better equipment sooner, but would provide a welcome deterrent to multis who would no longer have the option of gifting other accounts up to higher levels. They'd have to deposit real money to do this, and would run the risk of being caught and out of pocket. More real money deposits, and fewer multis should be a win-win.

Every thousand dollars you deposit , You should get a dozen balls free ..

Rewards for country clubs levels ...

More officers in country clubs.. Asst. Director ETC.

Icons next to your name , Club owner , Director , VIP. ETC

Ability to change flag positions .

Green Fee passes , (Cabo & Whistler)

Open Tour Champion Tier .

Premium Tournaments should pay more than 3

This is a great idea, anyone who wishes to play in credit tournaments should have something like this installed on their P.C.

Some excellent ideas which I'm sure WGT / Topgolf will completely ignore, but , you did say it was a "dream sheet" so i do have one little thing I'd like to add. I'd like to see them re-instate the end of game chat and restore the social aspect of the game to what it was.

While I'm nowhere close to being in the same league as such great players as Young46 and fmagnets, I have been a WGT member since 2010 and would like to offer my two cents as well.

According to USGA rules, a player may not have more than 14 clubs in their bag. But it can be any 14. Young46 makes a great point about sets. I would love to have the option of swapping a 3-iron for a hybrid or a PW for a 52 degree wedge. That's about $30-plus I could spend extra in the pro shop, but since that's not possible, I'll save my credits.

As for avatars and accessories, all are very basic. When you play in multi-player games, sometimes two or more players look the same. As a graduate of The Ohio State University, I'd love to have the option of a scarlet shirt with gray pants, black shoes and white visor to go along with my scarlet and gray bag.
