  The other day I played for over an hour and a half, and was disconnected three times. After the third time, I closed it up for the day and lost my consecutive days bonus.

  A better way should be used to reward regular players, which should include allowances for game malfunctions, internet issues, and maybe even the occasional day off !

  While there are issues that have been stated like comp problems, site issues and others I have been able to take a day off and not lose my bonus. My 24 hours starts at 7pm so I can finish a round at 701 pm today and get the bonus. I wont get a new day bonus until 701 tomorrow and I have 24 hours to fulfill that round. So as long as l get a round in before 701 Sunday Ill get my bonus giving me Saturday completely off.

  Off topic a bit, but forget the Boost program in the snack section of pro shop.  I paid 250 credits for 1 hr play and actually was only able to get in one game of alternate play, which seems to last on average 45 min.  Anyways, at end of game was only awarded an addition 174 points on Level, so I just don't see any advantage in even trying this.  So all golfers BEWARE this is truly a total rip off.  Save your credits towards something worthwiled

  You did it all wrong.  Why are you playing 4 man alt/sht.  This only gives you 40% of the points you earn while playing.

  Take MissouriDan for example, he knows at exactly when the CDB kicks in. Time that with a 18 hole weekly and 1 hour of 40% boost.

  880 + 450 = 1330xp.    40% = 532 bonus points .  1862xp  earned in that 1 hour compared to your 174.

  Another tip for the  Boost is to buy it before you sink your last putt in a game. Then you get it for that one too and have more time left. Only in single play of course.

  There's no prizes for the consecutive days played, so why is every one so concerned, do you think wgt is going to suprise you with a $1000 prize for 1st to reach 5 years??

  We're going to end up like kids, "i've played more days than you have!!!!"

  (says the guy who used to cycle 3 miles a day just to use sisters cpu just to keep bonus going while i was waiting 2 weeks for my new cpu to arrive LOL)

  I've managed to keep my bonus going for longer than I care to think about. 

  I think this pop-up needs to be deleted from the game as it's a lie.

  

   

  Increases every additional day you play?  Pull the other one, it's got bells on it.

  Those boosts are great if you just play 9 or 18 hole stroke rounds, preferably tourney rounds.  Playing alt shot with them, you are wasting half the time you could be gaining while others shoot.  If you get 1 hours worth, and play 9 hole stroke tourneys, you should be able to get in at least 3 games and get a considerable bonus.  Also, even if there is just a couple of minutes remaining on the boost, start a round, you'll get the bonus for the entire round.
