Agree! But:
Do you have cash to burn? Perhaps.
Do you need extra passes? Most do not.
Do you need faster cc pass generation? likely not.
Do you need longer time with your rental clubs? likely not.
Do you need faster acceleration to the next level? Probably not.
Does the PM get you access to other courses with free or reduced fees? Nope.
Here's the deal. IF you answer a hard yes to MULTIPLE questions above, including "I have cash to burn", then why not.
I currently have the PM but I got it for credits, which I had an excess of due to completing offers. (I always wait until double credits for offers and ONLY buy what I likely would have selected anyway with a slight discount). When I purchased the PM wgt offered a deep discount for just credits and I wanted to try it. I was hoping they would return to special or free play on Cabo or perhaps some other nice courses. Nope, did not happen.
I will not purchase again even for discounted credits but that is just my decision. If it is worth it to you, party on. Live long and prosper! Hit the ball straight and with just enough distance and backspin to enjoy the next round. :)
