Came back to see if there would be any replies to my post. Wow. 15 pages worth. Some with insight and advice and a lot of posts that wandered off topic. But that's typical of any forum. I would like to clear a few things up though.
Sorry if I offended the regulars by posting the original. It was implied I didn't have enough participation on this forum to even be making such a post. I am a member of a very large automotive forum. I've got about 6000 posts on that forum. We have people post up farewells all the time on that forum. Sold car, totalled it, tired of the forum are all reasons given. The members usually just wish them well and that's it. Guess things work a little different on WGT.
As far as not trying to upgrade gear and take advantage of the "free" stuff available. No, I didn't. As stated, I just played WGT for the fun. It was not one of my hobbies.It was like a game of Solitaire to me. Just something to pass the time. If you went to the trouble to check some of my past games, you'll see that they were solo ones. Weekly stroke play, uneven lies, etc. Just something to pass the time
Someone stated I never contributed to my CC. Guess what ? I never joined one. Apparently I was made a member of one without being asked. I just ignored any time something came up regarding my membership in this club. Made a post about this a long while back and ask how to resign from that club. Never did figure out how to.
My personal situation is just fine. Retired professional Firefighter/EMT after 30 years of service. In fact, I now work at a local golf course near my home.
All in all folks, the original was a simple goodbye. But my lesson learned was that's not how things are done on the WGT forums. Wasn't looking for any hand outs to keep me playing. Money situation is fine. I'd rather spend my cash on real golf or one of my other hobbies. Was just stating a reason for leaving. There was a small little rant in there regarding the tier up, I'll admit that. But it was directed to the site not the players here.
I may be leaving the game but a good forum is always interesting.
Take care
