WGT Country Club members, play CC Event #7 going on NOW thru Sun, 8/30.

CC Events are back with new improvements for country clubs to enjoy.

Compete against other country clubs for in-game rewards, new golf ball tee markers and flags, and (most importantly?) club pride.

We've made some improvements based on player feedback from earlier Events...

Removed Speed-Up Boosts - Based on player feedback, we've removed Speed-Up Boosts as prizes

More Passes - Special this weekend, CC Passes will automatically regenerate every 4 hours so you can play more games for your club with free passes

More Super Passes - In addition to the Superpasses awarded to your club at the start of an Event, your club will receive 2 additional Superpasses at the start of each Clash you participate in

Visit Your Country Club Page

CC Events allow WGT Country Clubs to compete against each other for golf glory and special in-game rewards. The club that earns the most total points from their Clashes wins.

Each Event is made up of Club Clashes that last for a limited amount of time (usually a few hours). When your club is entered in an Event and you start a Clash, you'll get matched with another club close to your skill level, and a timer will show how much time is left in that Clash. Club members from both clubs then play as many rounds as they want during that time, using Club Passes and Superpasses to earn points.

As the grand prize winner of the 2014 Virtual PGA Championship, Tour Legend dansamcam received a trip for him and a guest to attend the 2015 PGA Championship this summer at Whistling Straits as special guests of the PGA.

He was kind enough to share his experience with us, including some awesome photos. And, as you'll read, he definitely made the most of the trip, crossing a few big things off the bucket list!

My trip to this year's PGA Championship turned out to be much more than just a trip to the PGA Championship. It was one of my most memorable trips ever.

I was able to check off several items from my bucket list, such as attending one of golf's Majors, seeing Tiger Woods play in person and visiting Lambeau Field, football's mecca and home of the Green Bay Packers.

There were some extra bonuses too, being able to meet one of my Aphrodite CC friends from WGT in person (Cate55 was the random draw winner and is a very wonderful person to meet in real life too).

Watching the Packers practice live, visiting the little town of Green Lake where my mother's family is from and where she was born, and of course staying in a wonderful little fishing town called Port Washington. The local cuisine there was excellent and the people are very friendly. I'd like to give a special shout out to Lori from the Rusty Anchor in Port Washington who makes an awesome margarita and made my cousin and I feel right at home.

I've never been much of a writer, so I'll let my pictures do the rest of the talking, enjoy…

Thank you WGT for making this great trip possible!!

I'm looking forward to winning another one real soon! jk ;-)

Your number one fan, 
Dansamcam
