  Enhanced Credit Card Processing Security - Credit card purchase processing on WGT was already secure, but we've enhanced this for even more peace of mind. With this enhancement, you may be asked to re-enter your credit card the first time you make a purchase after this update, but we'll take care of it from there.

  Fixed an issue that players with a Stand Bag Plus were having after they used a sleeve of golf balls.

  Players with the "After Dark" avatar will no longer be invisible when they use topspin or backspin.

  Very Disappointed to say the least. I help my members with links and pictures all the time. Scott's fix was the saving grace in all this, but WGT let us down again. When I first looked at balls, I didn't see the Nikes. I looked again and they are there. I need to finish my coffee.

  So the lead story of the latest release is the 9,900 credit Plus Membership. Benefits amount to half or the Premier Membership without any free greens fees so the reality is that items worth close to nothing are appraised at more than twice the value placed on them as Premier Membership benefits. WGT has lost all business acumen.

  So instead of fixing the formatting bug they introduced more ways to get money out of us?
  
  What an unscrupulous bunch of money grabbing....... *people you are.
  
  Maybe if I take a week off things will improve.
  
  *CU Next Tuesday......

  I see the new Hogan irons, and no tool bar. I'm reading about other updates, but not seeing them. So I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it, still the same. I'm using the mobile app, anyone else on mobile seeing more?
