  Hi all you WGT members. My name is Jim (JimQ916) and I'm here to let you know the Country Club I am a member of is currently seeking friendly, dedicated members who are looking to join a CC or is not happy with the Club you're currently in and want a change. The name of our Club is Valley of the Sun Casual Country Club (VOTSCC). We are a small (cuyrrently 47 members) but a very member friendly Club where there is never an absence of abundant events to participate in. We always have in the area of 20 - 25  free CC Tournaments (and a few "pay to play" Tournaments) at all times and these Tournaments are set up in a user friendly format, meaning most if not all are set up with no more than moderate difficulty in an effort to help you hone your skills, lower your scoring average and most of all, just have fun. In addition to these tournaments we always have a weekly "Blitz", which runs M - F (and is addicting as all heck), Bracket Tournaments (both Stroke Play and CTTH) and Specialty Tournaments such as "Beginners Clubs / Balls only" and "CC vs CC" matches. Our Owner's name is Paul (PDB!) and he is constantly looking for new ways to make our Club more fun although he's banging his head against a wall because the Club is almost impossible to to make better. We have 7 Directors who attempt to help him out as much as can be done and we currently have 47 members of all skill levels (H - C). We are a lot more than a regular Club, meaning the our participation level is extremely high and we are more like friends who meet on the 1st tee than a cut throat Club as many in WGT are. We're on a first name basis and everyone knows all the members by name. I can go on and on about the Club but I think I've covered most everything having to do with us. In order to get into the Club all you have to do is get a hold of Paul and he'll send you an invite to join. I hope that some quality members join...you definately won't be sorry....thanks everyone...Jim

  Check out this link....it covers everything you might want to know about our CC.....You'll be  impressed at how much we have going on:

   MAKING THE TURN

    I found 2 more 250 member CC's with abandoned owners . All with members showing some activity in 2017 . But none with anyone that had played more than about 4 or 6 rounds . 

    Those being the most active . Are not really good prospects for recruiting . But I messaged many of them anyway . No responses . 

    That brings me back here to C C Corner . Another long shot . If a player looking for a CC were to come to CC Corner . The likely hood that they would even hear about my little 35 member CC is not too good . 

    If I am patient long enough . Eventually that good list of players will happen across my path .

    I just made a new post for middle and lower tiers . Who I have found to feel very alienated in their current CC's . Ignored , not responded to . Not assisted . 

    This I cannot understand . As these are the new heart and backbone of WGT . And should be treated as such . Like they are in VOTSCC . Always . With respect and listened to . A no brainer if you ask me . 

    Here it is 

  HAIL TO THE MIDDLE AND LOWER TIERS

   

  Valley of the SUN Casual Club C C 
   
  
     All tiers are welcome . But this is mostly a message to middle and lower tiers . 
    
    We have a CC for everyone . Our tiered custom tourneys . And boatload of information . Make our tourneys the ultimate practice round that counts . The unlimited play feature is a very smart idea . 
    
    By using the restart option in the menu . That allows you to restart your round at any time during the round before the end of the 9th or 18th hole . Anything played does not count with no repercussions . Only the round you finish will count.
  
    Game completion percentage is not enabled in unlimited play rounds . ( green , orange , yellow icon ) Are not effected . 
  
    If the round isn't going the way you like . You just restart it as many times as you like until you get a score you can live with . Finish the round . And it's the only one that counts 
    
    With custom tiered tourneys . Meaning the variables are adjusted differently on every course every time . This gives you the ability to hone and sharpen your game . Lower your scores , and move up in tiers . 
  
    All in a fun environment where all players are supporting and pulling for everyone . At all times . Every player has an equal voice . 
  
    For more information about this exciting CC . See our thread in CC Corner .

  Unfortunately yes IOS and Android formats are completely different then the PC laptop format. As of now it is very limited there are courses and tournaments and formats that are not even close to being available hopefully at some point in the future they will be that's all I can say.

   

  Although I am and always will be hardcore PC fan I have some very good members that are strictly mobile players in my CC I am pulling for them to get better and better formats and things available to them through their mobile play.

  Do you have teamspeak or some other voice communication.

  Yes they are in fact quite a few of the tournament and courses are available to them. And several of them play all the time.

   

  As a matter of fact right now we are working on a format to incorporate into our interplay matches that will include mobile players it is just about ready to be introduced it'll be the first of its kind anywhere I can't wait to announce it.
