You can play the clash without a huge outlay of cash but you need a lot of members contributing. Free passes every 4 hrs, most of us have 20 some balls given to us by WGT for playing the tour. But golf is an expensive sport either real or the virtual game. Is the clash rewards big enough, I would say no, especially the gold putter ( virtual to boot) is something most would not spend the credits to buy, why not give more than one out make the clash more meaningful by tiers or levels or membership, I myself enjoy playing the clash, it is still a competition as well as a partnership within your CC working together. Also there are no rules in the Georgian, do we like members to contribute XP? Yes we do but maximizing your consecutive day bonus with one of your 2 free daily passes is more than enough XP for any CC. Some members cannot be bothered to even do that. There is a lot of negative comments on this topic regarding the Georgian but it has really been a good CC, were everybody just plays the games they want to and no pressure to play the clash. I have been on 3 CC's and came back to the Geogian. Maybe for some the grass is greener somewhere else, but I am glad to be back. Whatever you do have fun doing it, do not burn out and only spend what you can afford to spend- this is a fun game to play
