Yes it is interesting to see the lack of interaction between members and WGT.
As an ex-software developer (not games) I had weekly meetings with the end users to determine progress and needs but I get the feeling that due to the number of participants, WGT can't or won't try set this sort of thing up.
I run a small CC of very enthusiastic players and we are just about to run our Matchplay final (everyone had to go back to starters clubs to compete). WIner wins a Plus 4's avatar (our equivalent of the Masters Green Jacket).
The hardest part is it is up to just 2 guys (myself and another) who fund our tournaments to expand our experience on here. And it is getting hard because decent balls cost too much considering they have the equivalent half life of a popped ballon ~
Guys who improve are not exactly overwhelmed with WGT balls with no spin or features to speak of so your looking at giving away 300-400 credit balls each tournament and more if you offer tier'd prize pools.
As someone mentioned old clubs - hell I don;t want to rent them but let me sell them to another member coming up through theranks. Thecredits they pay would help fund our tournaments. 250 back on a 1500 set ? Really even local golf pro's aren't as stingy as that.
We won't use entry fees - WGT takes a cut - basically for nothing. Sure you calculate the winner and apply credits but fi I can gift balls and clubs why can't I gift CREDITS !
New courses - i know they don;t take 5 minutes but the game is going stale QUICKLY ! The same courses over and over with just exclusivity and pay to play using other courses. Forget it - you want people to play and spend you gotta entice them in. I won;t pay to play because frankly I am not good enough to win anything in a pay to play. Not when you see bogus looking 14 under Par scores scooping the kitty.
I played the WGT Nation was square after 9 and +7 after 18.
Put me in 1425th place 26 shots behind the leader.
Forget it - too many professional nerds playing those games - ot enough attention tot he playing average. And I am not a gambler - I gave one 9 hole game a shot without chekcing greens, tournament condition at Whistler ! Exited and blew my money after 4 holes.
Look there may be reasons for all this BUT WGT you ned to answer this stuff.
You have a player base and the people who have made it a success deserve to be kept in the loop and their question answered.
All power to those who bother to bang their heads againt the "glass wall" (the monitor) and receive no confirmaiton of their existence. My CC will contiue to plod along but I fear we will lose members unless features and fairness are QUICKLY implemented into the system.
My 5 cents worth...
