    MBaggese:
     I showed you that a 250 member CC that has an A C T I V E 250 members, spends no more cash/credits/etc than 5-( F I V E) CC with 50 (F I F T Y) Active ( A C T I V E) members with in them.

      What does that have to do with anything I am talking about ? I suppose you know what I am talking about better than I . Lol .

    See the answer above based on your original post.

    The original question was...

    pdb1:
    Had ever or would ever calculate a modern figure that would represent just how much it costs the members these days for a fully active , hard core , serious , sky's the limit , deep pocketed 250 member CC to try and stay in the top 5 .


    The answer is: A 250 member CC who's members all play every day and use their free CC pass to play one hole and get their CDP bonus needs to spend ZERO credits and ZERO dollars to stay in the top 5. 

    I can get close to 900 XPs for playing one Par 3 hole for a CDP bonus, I just got 897 tonite.  If all 250 members did that and used the free pass that's 225,000 XPS for the CC each day.  And that oughta put it in the Top 5.
    (And one can use the free ball or a free sponsor ball for the one hole, no cost there)

    As Baggs pointed out, members of the Top 5 CCs play everyday so all they need is the discipline to use their free CC pass for the CDP bonus.

    And if 11% of them buy passes it doesn't mean it was out-of-pocket $$, many earn credits watching videos or taking surveys.

    But if does mean buying credits using a credit card, so what!  I don't begrudge WGT revenue.  They need it to keep the site, which I enjoy, open.

    I beg to differ: These people are spending a lot of precious time of their lives to get too little credits - no reason to say that these "free" ones are worth less than others.

    Those who actually pay for the CC passes should care, too, and even the top earners pulverize their credits and those they earned from other players "for nothing" and for the company's benefit - would be less in that sense if they'd gift it for other players' equipment.

    Me neither begrudges company revenue in general, but I'll never accept the whole system connected to CC passes (with the Golden Calf on top) - it's like a luxury tax with too small a counter value, or a fee obtained from emotions and from good vibes in the community.

    And meanwhile the game goes south.

    Oy! Had that one all wrong.

      Oh ? Lol . What was your guess ?

      Please say 21 ,   22   Lol.

    Ya, I had it at maybe a twenty-something or late teen. Turns out you're trying to emulate their collective, combative, in your face know it all attitude and you're 30 years late. LOL. Now I see what's going on.

    Carry on, Andyson's wiping the floor with whatever you're trying to say.  :-)

    Bull . Do you honestly believe that ? Wow . 

    I knew you'd like it!   Sooo predictable....

    pdb1:
    I fully dispute that 11 % . Not a current figure . Realistically more like 60 to 70 % purchase passes

    Easy Ed did the work.  Get your lazy butt outta the forums and do some work yourself to show the 60 to 70%

    pdb1:
    Lol . That is such crap . That wouldn't even get you in the top 500 . That is a fact .

    Nope, that is an opinion.  Do the work.

    Back in November you wrote:

    First off, let me start by telling Mike - Eff Ya!  

    MBaggese:

    VOTSCC has an entire section of their 'eye-straining' website dedicated to explaining WHY CC XP points are important under the heading,  What every Member Needs to Know About CC XP Points; borrowed, I might add, from The Old Duffers Retreat.

     

    just sayin'...

    Let me reiterate, Mike..in case you missed it...Eff Ya !

    Oh yeah - I need to be cool, so - Ha Ha Ha

    PMSL !
