Ready-go's for 100 credits please

  I enjoy playing the RG's, but I'm not interested in the high-end ones, thank you.  200 is my limit... I already pay 450 for a sleeve of Nike balls, I don't need to pay 1000 credits or more  to play these. Today I go to play an RG, and almost all of them are 500 credits and up..  And since I'm probably not alone, it takes a long time for these games to finish.  I'm not an idiot.. anyone who plays these big tourneys is probably really good (I'm good enough, but not in the class of the top players).   2 months ago, ALL RG's were 100 credits.. don't get greedy now!   Just a suggestion..

  It would be better if you could enter again as soon as the ready go has filled up, rather than having to wait for everyone to post their score.

  Quite often someone doesn't play and you have to wait a whole 12 hours before you get another go :((

  I totally agree..........I like getting in them, is hard enough to find a Tour Pro one, ( but that soon ends for me ) but 100 is about my limit till I can shoot a 29 like the  " pro " good guys do ( with an average of 72.2.....).. just saying

  We all know there is some fraudulent activity going on with some users.. multiple accounts is one of them.  I played the Kiawah monthly tournament and was pretty proud of my 59 (2nd among legends) until I saw a 'hack' shot the same score... lol..

  I suppose ID sharing is another too.

  I'm sure there'd be a few red faces if WGT was to cross reference IP's used for playing accounts.

  anyways....back on topic.....more 100 and 200 cred RG's for folks would work.

  Fewer and fewer 100/200 credit RG's, and the only 18 holer is SA, with fast greens (no thanks, not interested in trying to re-learn putting through quicksand).  The 'best of' 18 holer is gone, and so is Whistler, although that is definitely a blessing.  Guess WGT will be getting a lot less of my money for the time being.

  Agreed, fewer and fewer 100 credit ready Go's, and only one 18 hole this month. I prefer them to 9 hole tourneys. Funny but by moving away from the 100 credit RG's, WGT is catering to the players who have the greatest career earnings, and just use the credits they have stored up to play those more expensive RG's, they are not investing any new credits here. So how is WGT making money doing that?

  Good point.  For the top players here, what can you do with all the credits? WGT does take a percentage of every tourney, and obviously if the pot is bigger, so is their take.  Because of the investment required (or, if the player just has a TON of credits, which makes him a good player by default), only the best players play in the big entry, and I"m not in their league.
