I'm afraid that you haven't understood the intentions and the mechanics of the Clashes and the "CC Passes" thing as a whole.
First, it's not skill that wins the Events but diligence and credits - the more games are played = Passes, balls and speed boosts used, the higher the chances. Apparently, Georgian have developed a perfect system to display as many points as needed to stay on top.
Second, the Golden Calf - ehm, Putter - must be the rarest of rarest to work as intended. The colour (RGB: 255, 215, 0 on your screen) and the price tag make it look precious and elusive like a Ferrari, difference being that the Ferrari's value can be proven on resale (impossible for the golden putter).
Third, you should know that independent tests by two players (one even payed the price) said that it has a mediocre performance only. Thus, the reality check of this coveted item fails.
At last, let me point out that many players have condemned the Clashes here as what they are: A commercial auction with no valuable winnings at all. Play it if you like, but don't pay too much for it - don't buy CC passes, NEVER!!
