updated 10/17/2020
I will begin with when I began here at WGT . After the PC TW games slowed up . I found WGT . I thought WOW ! This is the sht .
I immediately started playing my ass off . I played WGT unlimited play stroke play , multiplayer stroke play with the FIND A GAME and CREATE A GAME features . And a lot of matchplay .
The players I met at first were veterans from 2007 , 2008 , 2009 . They were incredible . They were from all over the world . Some had 15,000 to 20,000 match play rounds in and 5000 stroke play . Stroke play was only a few years old in 2012 .
They were cool , friendly , personable , generous , and knowledgeable . There was probably 100 of them on my almost 700 at one point friends list .
A couple years later after starting a CC . I eventually had to remove all of them to reduce the list to 255 . So I could message my CC members .
So I lost all those names . And eventually even forgot their names .
But I didn't forget how they welcomed me to WGT .
That was the basis for the " WGT KICK ASS TRAILBLAZERS " award . When I ran across SidersBest Is this WGT's oldest active player? thread . He inspired me to pay tribute to those pre 2010 veterans .
But then I found that so many were not active any longer . Then I noticed that there was a good many that had stopped within the last year . And even more so that had stopped since the start of PCEA . Interesting but true .
I also saw that there were ahellalot of truly GR8 players with 2010 , 2011 , 2012 start dates and all the way up to the present . Lol probably millions I don't know .
So I had to draw the line somewhere . The criteria was a start date of pre 2010 . And active within the last 2 months or so , give or take a month .
That has been my latest project . Seeking out the players with pre 2010 start dates that are mostly still active . Not an easy task . I have looked at over 4000 profiles . And found about 462 players that fit the criteria . So far . I don't know how far or how many I will end up finding . I hope to reach 500 . But this will be my last major task here . . As of 10/6/2020 I have stopped looking .
Here are some of those .
This is the final updated list of the mini trophys for the 462 " TRAILBLAZERS "
Here are the 462 " TRAILBLAZERS " . I have found so far . As of 9/30/2020 .
Now 500 2/10/2023 .

RECENT ADDITIONS
.
























As has been the case with many of the awards I have made . And many
of the accolades that many WGTers deserve . No one else is recognizing
them . Especially WGT .Some are lucky enough to have been receiving
awards and trophies all along in their CC . Some have not .
So I do some of it . From the reactions I have received over the
years . That has been my reward . Some are humble . Some are excited .
Some probably don't care . That is plenty . Just from the thanks I have
received .
But I know I could not begin to thank everyone for all the GR8
contributions that easily thousands of GR8 WGTers have provided over the
years . That's why these little bits I do mean so much to me .
Thank you to anyone I am not able to make a trophy for or thank in person .
