  Now I just read the announcement of the Max flash sale. While it won't do much for me as I already have the max clubs I wanted, I couldn't help but post this comment: "Excluding the max gold putter" ? Really, you guys felt like giving a 20% discount off a 400K virtual putter will result in a loss? :-) ... Don't think they would have flown off the shelve at a 20% discount either, but I do find it amusing that you had to make an exception to this crown jewel of putters :-)

  Sorry, friend. Seems you missed the sale by a bit.

  It ain't a club but a CC Reward in the Pro Shop. Once you own it you can't resell it either. This makes the price tag arbitrary - to me, it's value is Null, zero, nada, zilch.

  sure, I understand the concept of it, but then they should remove the price tag all together and make it a pure award and not label it with a 400K price tag and then "deny" the 20% discount on it :-) ... really not an issue at all, I just found it a bit funny

  They have actually sold a few of them. A little to rich for me

  Don't you understand the purpose of this Golden Calf?
  It impresses by the "rich" colour and the correspondent "rich" price tag.
  The former is but rgb(255,215,0) (or #FFD700), the latter is an arbitrarily high amount of "WGT Credits (that) have no monetary [...] value" (see their T&Cs)..

  Out comes a veritable two-penny carrot - thousands play for one(!) every other week!

  Only a fool would spoil this brilliant and successful PR design!
