    You all have the choice to decline .  Many of you guys have the best equipment and plenty of balls

    I am one of those and while the nomination is something I am grateful for, I don't think I'm the type that this great thread was created for. There are many players that actually need  decent equipment or balls but can't afford them.

    I would respectfully ask that you open May up for a second nomination to replace me. I already have the best equipment and have no trouble staying in balls. I would much rather see someone that really needs help to get it. 

    Being nominated in the first place is a reward in itself for me.  :-)

    Why are you crapping up this thread with your nonsense? Casey and his team are doing a wonderful, selfless  job giving back to the community and you have to dump on it. You had your say now move on and let these good folks continue their generous ways.

    So it seems not to be necessary, but in the midst of this conversation, I thought my take/experience might have some mild relevance...

    Back 2+ years ago in the days of PC videos for 5/7/9 credits for 15 seconds, I was regularly picking up 450 credits in a day. I was also in a job which at times allowed me to play... a lot. Like I would buy a sleeve of 450 credit balls, then play that entire sleeve in a work day. I was also a Master/Tour Master and could reasonably expect to finish top 4 in 75% or so of tiered brackets. Credits were never an issue, even if I was continuously below 1000, since I always had the ability to snag more.

    Then the video well dried up. I did more surveys, but those can be finicky and 5 credits for 15 minutes of clicking and failing to qualify is infuriating. Then I was job hunting and other life additions came into play. A new job with restricted internet access means I can't get credits during the day. Spending time with family means I am not devoting time to surveys at all. My phone is not up to snuff to stream 2 credit videos, so my total credit earning is restricted to the 30-45 minutes I am awake after everyone else is asleep.

    So now I am in that place where I can either play the game or go after credits. And while it's just a silly game we all play, we do play to get better and be better, that is the point of the real game after all.

    Guys please, I know I went off track a bit earlier but we really need to try to get this thread focused again.

    The Gift of Golf Foundation is a brilliant and generous idea, it's really heartening to see some of the community pulling together to give recognition where it's deserved.

    Many thanks to all involved in it, you seriously rock.
