Wgt is free if you want it .
Ask lonniescott and simon the beetle .
Both champions without spending .
I have spent around 20 bucks in ten years .
1 - was gifted a full set of clubs on my way to tour master .
2 - spent 20 bucks on cleveland irons .
3 - was gifted driver by gift of golf foundation .
4 - been given a few dozen better balls but the free one's work great for me .
I'm not skint . Just never been in the mode of spending money on online games .
A few months after i started i was up to tour master and couldn't cut it with the starter driver and the longer tees, so i made a deposit, 50 i think, and bought a driver, 3w, and some wedges. Then of course, it became a game of drive, wedge, which quickly got me to legend. Even at legend i still used the starter irons and the beginner (note- not starter) putter.Eventually, i had to bite the bullet, deposit another 25 or so and get decent irons, (G10?) as courses like BB were almost unplayable for me.
During this time the most i ever spent on a sleeve of balls was 44 cr for GID, to slow the meter a little. I was never able to get surveys and the only way to get free credits was by viewing the carousel, 7 videos a day, with 50 videos worth 35 credits. Sometimes i would maybe try a few sleeves of the 10 cr bxd, to see if i could get used to the much faster meter of the G10 irons.
Up to a couple of years ago, when i could then watch videos on the phone or through an emulator, i gradually started buying more expensive balls, the level 33 cally's still the best bang for buck, for me anyway. (i have some more expensive volviks to use up first, can't wait till they run out)
It still amazes me when i see players complain about the price of clubs, when it should be obvious to a blind man that they make their money through the ball sales.
