" FRIENDS & WGT TROPHY PAGE "



Really the prelude to
.
. NOT FROM THE SHORT LIST.
Then there is " WGT KICK ASS GR8's "
After that is more about VOTSCC GR8's .
Then a tribute to Casey .
  • " FRIENDS & WGT TROPHY PAGE " Golf_w11
      I have always said that golfing with WGT friends and players already on WGT . Is one of the GR8est features available .
      The myriad of people we have the opportunity to interact with . To share with . To learn from . To joke with . To converse with . To give and take . To learn about other cultures .
      People speaking other languages have instant translators now . One can have a conversation with anyone from all over the world . I can guarantee you will meet people from more places than you knew was possible .
      I suggest that people think a little harder before declining an invite . The chances are that you will not have another opportunity to play with that player again . The odds are against it . If you do not know the player .
      Try to invite more yourselves . You already know how fun it is .
      In the " JOIN A GAME " . You don't even have to invite . You just join on in with 3 or 2 or 1 new and likely unknown players . Play what will be a fun and inspiring round . With the possibility of ending up with 1 or 2 or 3 new friends or multiplayer mates .
      Keeping in mind that very soon . The already extremely difficult task of inviting , getting accepted . Or seeing and accepting an invite . In Flash because of the primitive means by which one is to be expected to be notified . By staring at a tiny little green blinking icon somewhere on a page that you happened to look away from for 45 seconds . Making inviting almost too hard to be worth it .
      Keeping in mind that the already familiar but excruciating invite system . Will not be around much longer . If you think it is hard now . Try it in PCEA . Lol . Nope not even almost worth it .
      With those dark days slowly but steadily closing in on us . NOW is the time to get those long procrastinated rounds with friends in .
      Maybe for the first time . Maybe you already do . But now realize it is time to step it up even more .
      This is absolutely intended to be a positive and encouraging post . But I shutter to think of what the future may hold for us .
      Invite today . Tomorrow . Everyday until the end of the year . Or until you can no longer . That is my advice .
     
      Paul
    Wow my fastest post in years . less than 1 hour . Amazing .

    Sad, but true.
    Country Club communication is a big issue also. I tried to get players to use discord, teamspeak to no avail.
    No sense in country clubs anymore.

    Well said ....Just another reason PCEA is just no good ...And the Country Club (at least for me) Is by far the BEST aspect of WGT ....Without the easy access to the club the already high non participant numbers of club members will only grow exponentially ....I have beat this horse to death but I will say it again....Please keep flash AVAILABLE for the members that want to continue using it PAST 2020!! ...Many of us already have ways to continue on flash indefinitely....Like Dr Malcolm said...... "Flash players will find a way"

      I feel you Don . I battled that for years . My members were hard core dedicated to the CC . Playing in everything we could create .
      But to get them in multiplayer matches was not an option . Much less Skype or any of the others .With the exception of a very few .
      It was very frustrating for me . I had no right to complain . Because they were playing everything . CC tourneys , CLASHes , CC vs CC interplay .
      Multiplayer isn't for everyone . But I sure love(d) it .

    Players play the tournaments fine. You have to have communication.
    You know what it takes from EA to get to the forums, and you know the drill trying to get them to read the forums.
    Your friends list works on flash, so that's gone. I can send a message on the webpage, but they wont get it on EA.
    Frustrating to say the least.

    Think about it, there were thousands of us playing TOGETHER on PC each in our homes .... Now we can be TOGETHER in the same room with our mobiles playing ALONE.

      Lol . Yes in the same room playing alone . That already happens all over the place .
      When it comes to online golf . WGT PC Flash has kept ahead of others . By having as good of an accessible multiplayer as is offered .
      I really oppose letting that interactive link fade away .
      Once it is gone . Once PCEA becomes the main concern . Multiplayer will become obsolete .
      I think it is a big mistake . I think it will be missed . Solo online playing is not enough to make a GR8 site .
      5 years ago there was an estimated 60,000 plus Country Clubs on WGT . If there were only 10 players in each club . That would be 600,000 players .
      I think the numbers are bigger . But I don't see those CC's migrating to PCEA .
      Doesn't it appear to us that most long time players are opposed to the PCEA program ?
      Have you heard me say that in my recent search through 2500 profiles . I am astounded at the high number of players that have stopped playing in the last year . Long time players . That played steady up until this last year .
      Have you heard testimony from PCEA advocates . That sounded more like they were just settling . Which is exactly what they are doing .
      Have you noticed the GR8 number of established players ? That are not happy with PCEA ? That feel cheated ? That will not settle .? That cannot believe WGT has gone this easy route ?
      WGT only investing enough to match the mobile platform .Taking 3 steps backwards .
      Not pursuing a state of the art program . Still heavily multiplayer compatible . Going beyond what flash did . And then some .
      That decision will take the World out of WGT . W who ? People will say .
      To make a decision like that . Must mean they had already given up on WGT . As having any sort of positive revenue . They must have taken their money and invested it in something else .

      For the CC advocates . Which I am one .
      CC's are all completely different . The owners , the players all have different values and agenda's . None are the same .
      That is what is so valuable about CC's .
      WGT will find that CC's will be very disappointed if WGT doesn't accommodate all the different needs that CC's will require in PCEA .
      That is quite a lot .
      But the multiplayer players . Are going to also be disappointed in this platform . Multiplayer seekers do not need to be in a CC . Or they can be . But if they can't invite . How will they play ? I know they can invite . It is just much harder .
      I just don't get it .

    With the changes that have come to the game, having a method of communication outside of WGT is vital. All the more reason to have programs such as Discord or TeamSpeak or Steam in everyday use by WGT golfers.

      Yes those programs are very helpful . When you have a network of friends that agree . When those friends are on and green and responding . Then it may be easier to invite and coordinate games .
      But if those friends are not available . Or not available often .
      Then multiplayer will be difficult . And will not have Discord or TeamSpeak or Steam communication .
      I do not know why more players are not on board those communication devices . Except for everyone knows you talk funny . Lol . No matter so do we .
      But still the invite system . The ability to invite and notify , and receive and accept invites . Is a weak effort at best .
      Notification could be improved . By having a notification message at the top and bottom of the screen . Or a pop up message in the middle of the screen .
    " FRIENDS & WGT TROPHY PAGE " Invite16  or" FRIENDS & WGT TROPHY PAGE " Invite17
      Instead of the invisible little green icon first . That are most often missed . Or not clicked in time . By the time you get through the game client they have already given up on you . You just wasted the round you were in . If you were playing .
      If you were playing . You will see a pop up . Or a notification at the top and bottom of the page .
      If you are green . And not playing . That probably means you went to take a leak . Or bang the next door neighbor . And you won't see a pop up no matter how big it is .
      But if you are just writing a Forum post . Or checking a leader board , etc , etc . You will see the pop up .
      But you won't see the tiny green icon . And miss another invite .
      Shouldn't be that hard to make a better notification . From my experience this would almost fix the invites . Making it so easy . Even a red headed step child could do it .

    I am probably missing something here as I am a mobile player , but why can’t Wgt make the country club chat available to all players to use ? Why do we need an outside chat forum , when there is already the cc chat, all it needs is opening up to all users.

      Hi bossbird . Is the CC chat you refer to . A text chat ? Unlike the text chat in multiplayer mobile game mode ?
      I think part of the benefit of the voice chats . Are the notification bell or ringer . Usually on and louder than any WGT notifications . WGT volume and sound settings are usually turned down all the way . On account of that annoying ear  piercing theme song in the game client . Lol .
      The ringers  gets ones attention . That little green icon does not .
    Edit I remember the CC chat in Mobile now . If I remember right . One had to scroll through the entire list of chats . To the bottom . Then post a reply . Then repeat .
      But no . This thread is about the ability to actually notify a player of an invite and on the reverse , a player be able to accept invites . From any player . Whether be CC mate , friend , or not .

    Because outside chat programs like Discord have many more robust features (including voice chat) and are much easier to use while playing a game than WGT's cc chat.

    Discord is by far the best app out there for all games. I have had discord, teamspeak and telegram. All I get is excuses why they won't use it. I setup a facebook page and only 1/2 the club is interested enough to use it.
    If WGT was smart, they would setup a discord on their old servers with all the space they have now from Early Access. Discord is free.
    I don't see this happening, but we can dream.

      Another GR8 suggestion from an experienced long time study of the particulars of this game .
      Who knows why these well thought out , efficient , improvements fall on deaf ears ?

    Self-hosting is not available for Discord.  And even if it were, based on what I've seen, I seriously doubt WGT would have the expertise to maintain it or deal with all the support e-mails they'd get from players having problems with it.

      Good point . Throughout the Flash Beta era . 2007 til the present . They have never wanted a support role . Whether it be discord or some other voice program . I think they would avoid adding programs that would require support .
      We can dream about how we wish the direction of WGT will go . But it is just a dream .

@#$#@#$#@#$#@#$#@#$#@#$
  To continue with the lists . This next one probably meant the most . And it took a while .
  From the thread NOT FROM THE SHORT LIST.
 



always said if we had kept them all . We could have made 2 full CC's . That turns out to be true .

It seems like for forever I have been referring to " the short lists " . I can see from the short lists that there is a lot of this or that . But to make the long list just seems impossible .
  One of those lists I have been reluctant to tackle . Is a list of my old CC mates from VOTSCC . I can't make them all trophies . ( i already have ) . But I would love to thank them . For being part of the funnest and most rewarding group and adventures I have experienced here in WGT . And a highlight of my life . It was that good . You would have to have been there .
  I figured out how to do that . And it is one of the long lists . For sure . This list will also include many acquaintances , friends , CC owners , multiplayer mates , etc .
  But mostly 90 % are VOTSCCers . I never counted them before . I still haven't . But I have always said if we had kept them all . We could have made 2 full CC's . That turns out to be true .
  Here is a list of 780 with all of the above . With over 500 ex VOTSCCers .
LIST AND PICS HAVE BEEN UPDATED as of  1 / 16 / 2021 .

This list is not even close to all of the acquaintances ,friends , CC owners , multiplayer mates , I have had the pleasure of meeting here in WGT . I don't plan on making that list . 
  But it is the most complete list of VOTSCCers I can come up with .There are even more than this list shows . As there were dozens more that I never shared a message with . I have no record of them . As when they closed the CC . With it went an astounding amount of information . That is gone forever . All good on that . Ancient history .
  Sincerely though . To all my old VOTSCCers . Thank you for all the GR8 times we had . Brief or long . Through all of the intense events ,
Challonge embedded brackets for a year . ( lost that link will have to recreate it ),
VOTSCC vs CC ,
WGT CLASHes ,
in CC tournaments and competions ,
Desert Blitz ,
VOTSC KICK ASS IN CC STROKE , MATCH & MOBILE CHALLENGES

etc , etc , etc .

  Our CC Forum . Our comradery , dedication , interest in others . Willingness and eagerness to help . 
  Though we kept the roster at around 50 to 60 . The main group was there for years . This small group fought tooth and nail in every event . Mostly underdogs because of size . But we had some wins and some formidable players .  
  Very high turnover rate . By my choice for the most part . But others chose other paths as well . I really think we saw more than 600 players go through over the years .
  Still for many years we had a GR8 thing going amongst us . The best Tournament Director . Many GR8 tourney makers . Stroke Bracket and CTTH Bracket Directors . Blitz Directors .And of course GR8 members .

  All very professional and willing to put it out to ensure that they were fun an organized events .
  I asked a lot . Never demanded . But I did want to do everything . Even more than we were doing . I/we had so much fun . I believe that most members would feel the same and agree .
  I just wanted to be sure . ( after I left ) . That we were still all good . We parted on good terms . Even though it was tough for both myself and them . Eventually they moved on . That is totally cool . All good . I hope all are happy and enjoying where they are .
  This is my chance to reach out to all those GR8 VOTSCCers and WGTers . Many of us were together for years . And say thanx for the good times and bad times and all the crazy times .
  May the SUN always be with US .
Paul

  You are very funny Craig . The truth is . I have may many friends here . I still play and chat with regularly . I can't think of any of them that ever visit the Forums .
  Of course that wasn't always the case . Wayne and Alan and others , we all played frequently for ever . But like so many others . I don't see them around the forums any longer .
  I would venture to guess that they barely play anymore . If at all .
  Sad state of affairs . Indeed .
 

As I intended . I put faces to the names above . The many acquaintances , friends , CC owners , multiplayer mates , Forum participants , CLASH opponents , Legends , mentors , idols , ambassadors , teachers , many Andyson Annual Memorial participants , etc , etc . I have run across about 350 more for this list . The total nearing 1000 . Still separate from the " TRAILBLAZERS " . And the " MIA " lists .
 
 
  This is the largest group yet . There are 28 blocks of pics that had to be resized , hosted and posted . Without skipping any or repeating any . Lol . Piece of cake . Lol . In the " TRAILBLAZER " thread I used the image url's . But I can't see the pics until posted . This time I inserted each block . Doesn't make it any less confusing . I think I got it right .
(i'll check it once it is posted .)
 
LIST AND PICS HAVE BEEN UPDATED as of  1 / 16 / 2021 .

    same answer as from above .

      You are very funny Craig and ct . The truth is . I have may many friends here . I still play and chat with regularly . I can't think of any of them that ever visit the Forums .
      Of course that wasn't always the case . Wayne and Alan and others , we all played frequently for ever . But like so many others . I don't see them around the forums any longer .
      I would venture to guess that they barely play anymore . If at all .
      Sad state of affairs . Indeed .

    Well, it's a good thing for your challengers that you don't use your time constructively like improving your game!
    Wanna play?  LMAO

      No comparison . The time spent doing these honors and tributes amounts to a few rounds of time . Very constructive time spent .
      5000 Strokeplay
      1000 altshot
      500 Matchplay
      Several thousand Blitz and CTTH .
      Countless rounds lost to disconnects .
      I've played plenty . I'm competitive enough . Confident of that .
      But I'm basically done playing . These are my last projects here .
      It may not seem to you to be constructive . Believe me . It definitely is .

    This next list is one that I wish was much longer . As it is one of my favorites . It is compiled of what I call " WGT KICK ASS GR8's " . WGTer's that I have observed achieving a GR8 many things .

      Like I said . I wish I had more .
     
     
    On page 42 . In the thread MIA - Where are they?. I pay tribute to many that had disappeared , passed . got lost and came back , but was missed , etc , etc . By putting faces , avatars and profile pics to their names .

      As a better memorial alternative . Out of the highest respect .I offer this collection of pics and avatars . The added visual can add some pleasant memories to one who has disappeared , passed . got lost and came back , but was missed , etc , etc .
      I have taken every entry from this thread where a request was made out of concern for their whereabouts .
      I have added a few more that I knew .
      Then I dug deep into the search . I think most all are here .
      In the cases in which either I could not connect to their link . Or their profile was disabled . I created a spot for those using the shadow dude . Then I changed that and put golf avatars in their places . Male and Female . If out of any of those anyone has more luck finding an appropriate pic for any of those . I will change them out .
      I think you will enjoy this montage of so many held fondly .

      This all probably seems like a lot of work . It was enjoyable work . And really didn't take all that long to put together . I basically started all these compilations back in May .
      Prior to that none of it was organized . Or even recorded . Almost all of these lists have been compiled since then .
      All of this is nothing compared to how busy I was for the 5 years running VOTSCC .
      My choice to go all in . Balls to the wall . Full tilt boogey . Lol . I loved it . Had a bunch of GR8 guys . Some fantastic gals . To assist and enjoy all the events and activities we had going on .
      Although I lost a megaton of information when the CC was closed . I had created and stored a lot of it in our website .
      A lot of the thousands of trophy's for hundreds of players can be found in the 3 pages  of the forum .
    RECENT TOURNEY WINNERS
      Here are some early examples
    2014 TOURNEY WINNERS
    THE TOP CC TOURNEY WINNERS OF THE MONTH OF DECEMBER 2014
    Here is a weekly scorecard from Season 3 of our Desert Blitz . 2015
    " FRIENDS & WGT TROPHY PAGE " Desert13
    Here is a weekly and season scorecard from season 4 2015
    " FRIENDS & WGT TROPHY PAGE " Desert12
    " FRIENDS & WGT TROPHY PAGE " Season11
      The Desert Blitz went on for 36 seasons .
    5 weeks = 1 season
    36 x 5 weeks = 180 consecutive weeks
    7 playing days = 1 week
    1,260 consecutive BLITZ days .
      My point is that these recent lists and trophy's have been an effort to show my appreciation to many WGTers . Outside of VOTSCC . VOTSCCers already know how much I love them .
      The days of lists and trophy's are gone for me . Twas fun .

    .For anyone that had read this far . The list of 800 friends above . Has now grown to over 1800 . I only have 300 plus active to keep PM messages active . If I were still in a CC . I would have to trim it to 256 . To avoid corrupting the PM nessages .
    Of course my 1800 friends are nothing compared to many many others . Especially Henry Kawa's 7000 plus friends .
    One difference is . I have interacted with all of my friends at one point or another .
    But one of the most important days of my entire WGT expeience . Came recently .. Last Saturday .
    Sat, Mar 4 2023 11:51 AM
    When Henry Kawa and I met up at my local Denny;s . In person , wet met for breakfast . And had a wonderful 2 hours of conversation .
    It was such a rush . He is a hellofaguy . So much more real than I could have guessed .
    A true gentleman .
    Look forward to repeating these visits in years to come .

    ARCHIVES
    Not going to have to say much about CEverett12 . His actions and his CC the Bushwackers have always spoken for themselves . And this 19th hole award speaks volumes . 

      Congrats Casey . 

    " FRIENDS & WGT TROPHY PAGE " 2016_c10
     

    The "WGT 19th Hole" series focuses on featuring the players, personalities and country clubs that make up the global WGT community.


    CEVERETT12 - HONOR, DIGNITY AND RESPECT

     
    This week's WGT 19th Hole player was selected because he consistently sends in nominees for the WGT 19th Hole, so we thought, "Why not feature him?" CEverett12 is a dedicated WGT Country Club owner that prides himself on helping players and running The Bushwackers country club.
    CEverett12 aka Casey stumbled upon WGT on Facebook back in November 2014 and says, "I found WGT and thought I would play a hole or two, boy I was wrong... I was hooked right away. The graphics are fantastic...I never expected to meet anyone or make any friends and boy, I was wrong again. I have met many good folks and made some friends, WGT is not just a great game but also a place you can socialize with good people."
    The players that make up CEverett12's country club could not agree more! Here are a few comments the WGT Community added to his nomination:

    " FRIENDS & WGT TROPHY PAGE " 4

    " FRIENDS & WGT TROPHY PAGE " 5

    With over 600 consecutive days played, CEverett12 has helped many players and says respect is what drives his generosity.
    "My big thing is respect! Respect the game, yourself and others...The Bushwacker motto is Honor, Dignity & Respect."
    Outside of WGT, CEverett12 enjoys spending time with his father and enjoying the company of his two grown children.
    What advice do you have for players new to WGT?
    "My advice to others on WGT would be this - Send someone a gift. Help someone less fortunate than yourself and do what you can to help others. Also, be kind, say hello and thank you."
    What equipment do you keep in your virtual golf bag?

    Thanks so much for being part of the WGT Community and sharing your story!
    WE WANT TO GET TO KNOW YOU! If you'd like us to feature you or someone you know in a future "WGT 19th Hole" profile, please let us know at: players[at]wgt.com.

      Just a reminder . When WGT announced the end of Flash . It took me too long to figure out that it would also be the end of viewing WGT replays as well .
      I already had over 500 WGT replays saved . But after the end of Flash . None of those were going to be viewable .
      I needed to convert them to another format . For continued viewing into the future .
      I chose youtube videos as the format . I got started . It turned out to be quite a task .
      If I had realized quicker . I would have had more . As it was I was copying and converting right up until the end of Flash .
      I ended up with
    467 newly recorded YouTube videos .

    236 mine  total replays

    175 other players

    241  other players replays
      They can be found in several different forums .
    Valley of the Sun CC KICK ASS HALL OF FAME 10 pages of replays

  • VOTSCCers & WGTers PERSONAL KICK ASS HALLS OF FAME(all YT vIdeos). 


  • KICK ASS PUTTING REPLAYS (all youtube vidoes)

  • KICK ASS REPLAY BLOOPERS (now all youtube videos)

  •   As a result . These 500 WGT replays will viewable and able to be enjoyed forever .
      Along with various other topics , categories , forums .
    https://www.valleyofthesuncc.com/
      Please enjoy . No sign in or registration necessary to view all videos .
