Had an email today saying that they are missing me and there's a pack of free balls if I sign in.

 

Signed in - nothing 🙁

Maybe an infinite-sized pack of starter balls 😂😂

 

Can barely get used to those slower greens in the inter-club competitions.

It's weird 'cause in the previous country club tournaments the greens could be as high as 13! No idea why they're 9 this time.

Previous tournaments that I've set up have allowed me to choose tournament or championship greens - or any speed, as far as I can recall.

 

This seems to be a default setting.

Yeah WGT always vary the country club clash settings, so I guess this time they just chose green speed of 9 and moderate winds.

 

When you set them up yourself, yeah, that's sensible that they let you choose.

Anyone fancy a quick round?

 

And by quick I mean less than 20 minutes between shots (for those who can remember my desperately slow internet back in the day  ) - actually, I can finish a round in 20 minutes now.

Actually rage quit this a few weeks ago Tired of the poor programming, the inconsistencies, the pay-to-win model . . . wish there were an alternative as I do enjoy a good golf game.

Aw, man!

 

It's the only game I'll actually put some £ towards so I justify it to myself on those grounds. And then  it's only about £20 every 3-4 months when I need new balls - now that I've got clubs I'm reasonably happy with.

 

I just don't bother with pay-to-play tournaments or courses. Wish I could sink a few longer putts though  

[Boof]

How'd that not go in???

Anybody played this lately?

 

If there's better (free) versions available I'd give them a go but quite content with this one.

[Cruyff]

What are you's playing this on? I'm playing on my phone. I'm still rubbish at it but getting better, it's miles better than golf clash though. If anyone wants a wee game add me Cruyff1874. 👍 

[Ray Gin]

Love pissing around with Golf Clash when I'm supposed to be working.

 

Sod spending any money on the balls/club upgrades though. Always a seethe when you come up against someone who's splashed cash on pay-to-win-balls giving them mega spin control and yardage. Very pleasing when you beat them though.

Laptop or PC. Couldn't even imagine trying it on a phone!

 

@ArmiyaRomanova is the country club host for invitations.

Never tried Golf Clash.

Free balls and clubs on WGT just made my meter too fast - far too frustrating for me

I completely rage quit this a few months ago. Just had enough with it I think, honestly

[Boof]

And 18 months later...anybody played this recently?

 

Managed a 59 - Ranked - around St Andrews last night. 

[graygo]

Last logged on in 2019 and I think that was the last time I used my laptop.

So 6 months after the last comment on this game..

 

I think i joined up for this game when this thread first kicked off over a decade ago.. Anyway I finally got into in over the last few months..

 

Have some decent clubs now, I'm level 84 - Master..

 

The question I have is about apparel.. I currently wear the C&M stuff for all 5 items (which i think gives a bonus).. looks shit but seems to help me with the distance of my irons.. Anyone got any good feedback about what I should be wearing to maximise my game.. also is it worthwhile to pay the 500 credits to just wear whatever you want?

 

If i get a reply to that question I have another about balls but that can wait to see if there are any responses..

[Boof]

 

This is what I'm currently wearing. Upon looking at it I discovered that bonuses apply (either I never knew or I'd forgotten!) so I upgraded the glove and shirt. I'm hoping it makes no difference being a bursd and a righty.
I just chose that for shits 'n' giggles when we were playing against each other much more often. We even had a Ryder Cup team tournament on here (won by Edinburgh residents, I seem to recall).

 

 I've not long progressed to level 91 so seem to be playing off the back-est tees for ranked rounds and it's fecking hard!!!

A slower meter would do me the world of good!

[Boof]

Just had another look - level 90.
Still fecking difficult!

[Bigsmak]

Is there still a country club for us?

I think so but don't know what it does for us!

[Bigsmak]

We used to play competitions against each other

Just logged on, over 10 years since my last game in 2013! Wondered if anyone would be up for a wee tourney in memory of Donny sometime soon?

[kila]

I’ve got the WGT one on my phone if it’s the same game. Up for a tourney. 

[Boof]

Not played for a while but would be up for a game/tourney.
For any of the original gang - my broadband speed has improved significantly  

 

I'm sure the period between shots gave Donny plenty of time to work on his designs.

Haha, do remember it being a pain! Forgot how much fun it is to play and have already got decent at tee to green again but putting is leaving a lot to be desired!

Around St Andrews in 32 minutes for a 74.

 

Tee to green and putting the only areas that need a bit of WD40 to remove the rustiness.  

[Poseidon]

Just shot a 30 on the back 9 at Bethpage, I thought it used to be hard.....🤔😄

 

 

(Less said about the front 9 the better!)

[Poseidon]

I've set up a wee practice tournament around St Andrews for those that are up for it. Should find it in the country club
