  Why can't we gift our old sets of woods,irons,drivers wedges, to a freind or in my case my son?.he can't afford new clubs and you don't get crap for when you sell them.It seems like you should be able to give hand me downs to realetives like in real life.!!!!!!! atom53

  Don't you want WGT to make a profit so they can stay in business so your son can continue to play?

  When i buy gear or balls I figure I'm paying for WGT's longevity... and its ability to create new courses, which happen to be very, very expensive to develop.

  If his son can't afford to buy news ones and hates playing the game with free clubs he quits. The Dad sells the clubs back to WGT. WGT has to GIVE credits back to Dad. If he'd been allowed to gift them to his son they wouldn't be out any money.

  Dar... that's true... as far as you took it.  But if the son wants to upgrade clubs then WGT makes money.  Your scenario has WGT making nothing. 

  And I'm curious about how old the son is?  Is anyone breaking rules here?

  Pretty sure you can play as a minor just not tourneys.

  And I'm pretty sure I'm wrong here and in another post I started about this. I'm sure WGT loses money in the long run if we were allowed to gift used equipment.

  Why can't the son do surveys and stuff and earn the credits?

  Many of us have made 1000's and I mean many 1000's of credits doing surveys and the other offers, many of the free as well. And as a student at 24 surely he could get a part time job even if it's just flipping burgers at some place like Mc Donalds.

  Yep, I got 6,740 credits in the bank from surveys right now.  And that doesn't even count the i15 Irons, the L62 R9 driver, the four TM Satin Wedges, the Daytona Putter, L15 Burner 2.0 Irons, L29 R11 Driver and 3W, or the G|10 3W.  Oh, I forgot, I've paid for all my balls with surveys, too.  I have yet to spend a penny on this game or even any of the offers.
