  As if it wasn't enough that we had to buy R11s and Clevelands....but now you "offer" us a new ball brand that is even more expensive?

  HELL, I AM SO VERY PROUD TO SAY THAT I PLAY WITH TOUR-S BALLS.  MY BEST FRIEND MADE HIS 3RD DOUBLE EAGLE WITH THE SAME BALLS.

  What a scam, making members believe they need to have the most expensive of everything.  THESE NIKE BALLS ARE JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A WASTE.  GIVE US A NEW COURSE, NOT STUPID FREAKIN BALLS OR CLUBS.

  LOL. They did, Nolan- 9 water holes where you can try the new Nikes out on. I would think for $4.50 a sleeve they would bounce off the water. Then again, that would be a bit much, kinda like the price.  ;-)

  Don't bother trying to supplement your credits with the new FAKE offers on the survey page. I watched the first 7 credit offer and it paid, no problem. The next 2, 4 credits for a very short Champs ad and 21 credits for watching a cheesy Christmas light show never paid up.

  Since this was part of the WGT update, I would like WGT to pay  up on the 25 credits and take up THEIR reimbursement with the sponsor, Peanut Labs.

  Also, since the first one paid up and I have been successful with all other credit promotions, videos and all, I seriously doubt this has anything to do with my settings or problems on my end.

  I too use the Tour-S balls. And that 25 credits is almost a new sleeve. 400 credits for balls? Absurd.

  Well I haven't tried the Nike's yet, so cant comment on there relative worth, but $4.50 a sleeve is somewhat exorbitant in my opinion. The arrival of another new ball in the Pro shop got me to thinking about all the different balls in my bag. I counted 109 that have accumulated over time.

  What the hell are you supposed to do with them? Can't give them away, so why cant we sell them back to WGT like the other unused equipment we have? I am sure WGT would pay a mere fraction of the original cost (like they do for clubs), however that would just be credits for us to invest back into the game. How about it WGT, buys these balls back, my bag is getting HEAVY!!

  New nike balls are awesome, you can clear the brush on r.s.g #5 with only 14 mph tailwind, stop ball within 2 yards on the par #3,3rd with 21 mph tailwind.  The slower meter alone is worth an extra $1.  what else have we to spend our credits on?

  They don't pay immediately but they do pay. Log out and back in.

  HELL YEAH, let's just keep making the game play *more* fake....

  This golf simulation game could be very close to realistic, as it was in the past...but WGT keeps screwing with the program, adding ultra-easy clubs and balls, so it now feels more like an arcade game.

  Yeah, YankeeJim, I would expect them to float across the water for the new 9 hole water course, as well.

  The real issue here is not being addressed at all by WGT.

  WHY is a Pro / Tour Pro allowed to own a 282-rated driver at the baby tees?  

  WHY aren't there restrictions on what gear a player can purchase at a certain tier?  This makes match play challenge for credits EXTREMELY unfair, to say the least.

  WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN ADDRESSED, as opposed to simply "upping the ante" and cheapening the game play?

   

  NO PRO / TOUR PRO SHOULD EVEN HAVE THE MEANS TO OWN A 282-RATED DRIVER.  NOW WE HAVE BIGGER BALLS TO GO WITH THAT?  COME ON, GET A CLUE....
