wgtmustang: It's a sweepstakes prize, so all NATION members who play have a chance to win.
Unfortunately that is not right.
Only players from these countries are eligible to win.
- United States and the District of Columbia, Canada (excluding Quebec), the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway and South Korea
Yes, it seems to be a fantastic benefit for those countries, as with pretty much all the other big tournies. I guess the other 186 countries will just have to wait for a tourny where the prize is open to all but alas is 10 putter pal hits.
I really do understand where WGT are coming from, postage for prizes, flights for prizes for major tournies, etc, but what I don't understand is why not give the players the option to cover any extra costs that may be incurred over and above the original prize offered. I am sure that many players would love the prize of attending a major and will be more than happy to cover their own flights.
As for WGT nation....well this just seems like the biggest waste of time yet, this was supposedly a legend only "club" to "reward" loyal players, however is open to everyone with prizes to only a select few countries?? So then why invite the rest of us?
Honestly this is a great game with (to be honest) many more pro's than cons. The rest of the world is just feeling a bit left out and as was mentioned in another post on the forum, WGT should really re-think their name, cause there is really not much "world" involved...
Anyway, I'll stop moaning now....
Cheers
