"Consecutive Day Played" sucks IMHO.

  Ya can't go camping, hunting, fishing or anything else for more than 24 hours that loses your internet access without losing your consecutive days played. Seems like a wonderful thing for those "city folk" who never get out in the woods? How about revising the entire thing? Games played per month?? Something has to be better than this! I don't even bother, anymore. I just don't spend my life on the internet playing WGT every day. How about you make it fair to those of us not glued to the internet???????? Yeah, I know....but I thought I would ask, for what it's worth....which I have found to be...nothing. Let all your "always connected" babies get all the days played bonuses. Sheesh.

  If you have a decent smart phone you should be able to get a signal just about anywhere. Get WGT mobile and you can play a random 3 on your phone and keep your streak alive. And there are so many places now with free wi-fi that getting an internet connection on a smart phone should be rather easy.

  As Jim said: One shot is enough! To the OP: You'd have to make up your mind whether to enjoy your outdoor activities or to stick sourly to your indoor computer games. For me, it sucks so much that I don't care any more. Mind you that the CDP is one of the company's means to bind players to the game, to let them grind unlimitedly and not give a penny for their efforts. The world will not end when your CDP is reset! Oops - all the paragraphs are gone in the post, but they return for the edit.

  I am back up to 450 cdp after having done an Alaskan cruise and interior tour. Not a big deal, just a matter of personal pride. Now I am on the road again and have used my phone app to play 3 holes to keep the cdp string going. By careful planning it is possible to go 4 days by playing only 9 holes and keep the string alive. Play just after a new day starts. This gets you almost 48 hours before needing to play again. Play just before the start of a new day, then again after the new day starts thus getting another 48 hours. This really means that you can play twice and get through 4 days.

  One also cannot go to the theater, art galleries, museums, or anything else that fills one's evening with cultural value, resulting in a loss of internet access without losing one's consecutive days played. Seems like a wonderful thing for those "country folk" who never participate in well-rounded cultural life and have all the time in the world.

  A clear question of priorities...

  I concur........who gives a rats butt about consecutive days. No prizes, no incentives IMO = no reason.********************Also the OP has a great point regarding days played/or games played. Little advantage to WGT in having a player hit one shot a day for a month to keep up a CDB, however a player who plays 150 rounds a month is much more valuable in terms of assumed ball usage, yet the latter may do that playing 5 days a week and not have a long CDB streak......it will not change and regardless, either way, there is still no reward nor incentive....
