WORLD GOLF TOUR (AKA WGT )

Much talk has been going around that WGT is a rip off, is it?

Yes of course it is, but you must accept one fact, it is a business, and people are in business to make money.

Getting to the point how do they cross the line from being a good business to that of a company that is ripping people off, and might add making a ton of money in the process.

Here is how they work, they start you off with beginner clubs and balls, all for free.

As soon as you learn the basics of the game and you should want to advance to a higher level your going to need an upgrade in clubs as well as balls, now these are going to cost you.

Now here is the catch, depending on what level you have reached will dictate as to what level clubs and balls your allowed to purchase, the higher your level the more advanced club and balls your allowed to buy.

As your level advances your allowed to buy clubs and balls that will supposedly enable you to reach higher rating.

What happens to your old outdated clubs well those generous hearts at WGT will buy them back, and might add at a penny on the dollar.

There are 8 levels at WGT, so as you advance to different levels and you wish to advance further your encouraged to purchase advanced clubs.

You can start your advancement with clubs for as low as 200 credits ( about $2.00) or as you advance you can spend close to 3000 credits ( about $30.00 for the upper level players ).

A top level set of irons will set you back about another $30.00, and of course you’ll need a putter, They can go as high as $27.00.

If yo really want to get into the game just buy a complete set of clubs for the paltry sum of About $50.00, without the putter.

What happens if you don’t wish to purchase their advanced clubs? well let me tell you, the game gets harder and harder, they have a system called VEM or as commonly referred to as “the beast”, with this system they can control just how difficult your game can become. the better and might add more expensive the clubs and balls yo buy the easier your game will become, for a short time.

As for the balls, now this is their real money maker. You can spent anywhere from 10 credits  for balls that are nothing better than the free started balls or up to 550 credits for the top of the line Nike balls (about $5.00 for 3 ) which will give you more or less 3 games, that is if you don’t hit your ball out of bounds or the many water hazards.

You’ll be amazed at the percentage of your more expensive balls find their way out of bounds or those dam water hazards, as the free balls very rarely end up out of bounds or into the water hazards.

Something else to remember, don’t ever complain to them, this will get you on their shit list faster than you can blink an eye, and I can assure you your game will get unbelievably more difficult.

Usually, if you do complain they will do nothing to help you, that is if they should even acknowledge your complaint, but your game will get a lot more difficult.

The bottom line is this, WGT is the best golf game on the internet, just don’t take it serious, and play for free, don’t give them a dime.

You would be surprised at just how many of their top rated players stick with the starter clubs and balls, they have taken the time to master what they’re playing with.

Hey this is just a game played by a lot of old folks like me, save your money for things a hell of a lot more important than playing an electronic version of golf, save your money and buy more Viagra, it is a hell of a lot more fun, and from what my doctor tells me can add about ten years to your life.
