  Never spent a penny on this site if you buy the credits with real money , then your insane :P

  I am retired and spend a fair bit of time on this site chatting to friends and playing...I don't know of any hobby or past-time that is absolutely "free" (even feeding the ducks costs a loaf of bread), and sitting all day by myself doing surveys for a few credits is a waste, so I don't mind spending a bit to help my game.  Playing better helps me enjoy it more...natural, I guess. That all said, the game is starting to become quite expensive, especially when using Canadian $$ to buy US based equipment...the exchange rate can be a bit of a shock.....all in though, I still think it's good value for the enjoyment  I receive.

  Just wish they would fix the damn glitches.

  BTW: The shortest CDP saving game is one hole practice...

  Yep.  There are days where I sign in to do just that but then just say eff it, I don't feel like it lol. 

  Lost my streak a couple weekends ago when I went out of town for a 3 day golf weekend and haven't found the motivation to get it started again.  A weekend of bad golf and a worn out back has made me want to take a break from all forms of golf LOL.

  I can see your grin turning to grimasse :(

  Somehow, I managed to keep my latest streak alive to 290 in Dixieland and Auld Reekie, despite of the travels, the golf, the festivals and ev'thing. Some crazy ambition might take me to 365, but I know that I'm going to stop when it breaks. At some point, these insane urges "for the CC" and for the good of the company must end.

  I began with the intent to give you my opinion until I discovered that you are a T/L with a 58.18 average.  Far be it for me to tell YOU what clubs to use.  I have used the newest equipment available just to get to T/L.  The level 96 Versa putter and level 97 Nike irons improved my game to be able to reach T/L.   Now I am using the level 100  Nike Vapor irons and the level 101 Method putter. Expensive ?? yes.. worth it ?? I like them.  For me the Big Bertha level 93  250 yard 3 wood was a most pleasant surprise. I often use it off the tee and can hit as far as 270-280 yds with it w full top spin.  Anyway, thats my take on that.  Any advice you may have for me will be warmly received.

  the level 101 Method putter.

  It looks so fine on paper...real fine. I have the L96 Versa, love it, but that L101 has gained my desire, albeit with a couple of months to hit L101...so Sea-Flash, tell me more....

  Thank you for your profound medical/psychological diagnosis NOT!

  I'll stay on this side as long as I'll be missing your support to cure my insanity: Gift me balls, clubs, tournament entry fees!

  To me, the time of my life is worth too much to waist it with dubious vids, surveys and offers with a projected salary of 2 $ / hour, plus all the hustle.

  Enjoy the game and the "free" credits!

  Dear Ms SweetiePie, As I mentioned, the level 96 putter was instrumental in my game reaching a level that I could even think about T/L. Once I got there my average soared to 68. Championship greens on a regular basis gave me way more trouble than I expected.  It was as if I had forgotten how to putt. I had so many lip outs and so many putts that broke below the hole.  My thought was that the level 101 putter might help fix that since it has .5 more forgiveness than the 96 Versa. In addition, I found that as long as the ball remains above the hole the chances of it going in improve dramatically ( not a big revelation ).  I have experienced my game coming back to a more normal and competitive level since getting the level 101 Method putter. My average is back in the high 65's and going down.  The meter increments are the same as the Versa so there was no big learning curve. I give it 2 thumbs up.  I hope you find this helpful

  This is what i did i found an offer from a gambling site that says deposit £10 and bet £10 to receive 4000 credits, i set up an account put in the £10 and i bet on a sure thing like an football game that is 2-0 up with 10 mins to get at odds of 1/10.

  win the bet get my 4000 credits then withdraw the money.

  so now i have £11

  i find another offer like a casino that says the same thing i put in my £10 i bet £5 on red £5 on black place the bet win one lose won still have £10 and get my credits. (hope it never lands on zero) 

  etc etc, i have accounts with every betting site in england due to this game.

  now i earn enough from ready to gos where i don't have to do offers any more some days are not good other days i earn 1000 credits, and tbh im not even that good of a player, but i never really lose credits, if you scored 30/60 in all ready to gos you would make a massive profit !
