  SuperKanga:
  you must be very proud.

  
  
    Thank you Rob 
    Most certainly . It is an indescribable feeling . But this is the 5th time inside the top 25 . And most times in the top 50 . But there are also many other frequent occurrences from individuals and the CC that make this owner very proud on a regular basis .

    25 members is indeed a small CC . Just too small . Not enough to fill many of our fun events . Not quite enough to expect to fill a 16 player bracket in a timely manner . Not quite enough to have a 16 player Interplay team . A good CC has a wide variety of players with many different interests . As we do . 25 active members spread thinly makes for low entrants in events , with everyone playing regularly . When we began we topped out at 90 members tapering down to between 50 and 60 at our best . And now for many various reasons are at 25 .
   
    So recruitment would be the answer to growing and building . Slowly filling the events and increasing entrant percentages . ( notice how i am careful not to use the word participation ? ) Because we have good participation in events . Just to few members . 
    Knowing that good CC members are already in good CC's . And knowing that good CC members often change CC's . Usually from one large popular good CC to another large popular good CC with another group of their friends .
    Recruitment efforts are made by me in the hundreds . Sometimes 100 in a sitting . They are exhausting , thankless , and with no results .
    The easiest list from which to find members not in CC's comes from the Tournament Leader boards . The least likely list of perspective CC members one could ever put together . Consisting entirely of 6 , 7 , 8 year WGT members with from 1 to 6 friends .
    With no intention of ever trying a CC   . Or having already tried a couple CC's with bad experiences that left a bad taste in their mouths . Tainted forever .
    So that list is not a list . 
    Another way is search the Country Clubs . You can type in a letter or a word and get 1 page of CC's that begin with that letter or word . Go down the list look at the roster at the owners stats . You see the owner hasn't played since 8/16/ 2014 . Then look to see if any of the other members are active . Nope no one has played in 2016 . Go back to the search . Try and remember what letter or word you typed in to bring up that page to look at another CC . Click a CC , check the owners stats . Hasn't played since 4 / 13/ 2015 . Look at the other members . Ah ha ! 3 have played in 2016 . but not since February . Go back to the search . Click on another CC . Owner hasn't played in over a year . 5 members have played in May and June of 2016 . Each have played a round or 2 in the last month or 2 . Yay . Ok so now I do the unthinkable . The Cardinal sin . I convincingly attempt to POACH this member . In fact I message and invite all 5 . 
    I am on a roll now . 3 hours later I have invited and messaged 20 of these unlikely perspective members . What do you know ? I don't hear back from any of them . 
    Wait . 2 weeks later in the span of 2 days . 3 different players accept my invites . Which means that they had to quit their present CC to accept my invites . YES . 
    I can't wait to talk to them . I post a nice welcome on their walls . I also post a very nice welcome to each in the CC forum . The rest of the CC members all respond and welcome them in their own accepting and welcoming ways . Makes it easier for novices or others that have no experience with forums or WGT for that matter . ( so I have been told , that this is very helpful . It is a regular protocol ). Eventually one would hope this new member would respond to all of these nice welcomes in their new CC forum . 
    I could go on and on . But I won't . And they don't . They don't respond to me or any wall post or PM . Much less their forum welcome . I continue to politely message and suggest that they message me or ask a question in the forum . Or play a round . 
    I get nothing . A complete waste of time . From the hours I spent the night of the original invite . To the 4 or 5 weeks that i try to connect with them once they accept the CC invite . Amounts to days of my time . Wasted with no new recruits . 
    I need to come up with some more approaches to recruiting that yield gr8er success than the ones I have been trying . Any help in that area is welcome . I am all ears . 
    Recently I responded to an owner advertising to find a new owner for his CC . I suggested that some of his members could possibly find a good home in our CC . I never heard back from him . Guess that's not what he had in mind . 
    But why not . If you are a frustrated owner . And your CC is faltering . Why not refer your members to another CC that has shown an interest . And could handle it . They may like it and be happier and really start enjoying their WGT experience . 
    Luck of the draw is not happening . With hundreds of very good and valid CC's to chose from . The likely hood that our little 25 member CC will even be in consideration is not probable . 
    We are here though . A very good CC at any size . With GR8 members and GR8 events . Offering a very cool CC in which to experience WGT . Please read through the preceding pages of this thread . And see what you think .

    Hi all of you fellow WGT'ers. My name is Jim and I'm currently the Tournament Director for the VOTSCC.
   
    I've been a member of the CC for over 2 years and found it's the best thing WGT has to offer....it's awesome.
   
    Ok, here goes.....I'm a happily married guy (for the past 12 years to my second wife), soon to be 56 years young guy who lives in Kennesaw Georgia (15 miles North of Atlanta), and have for the past 12 years. I was born in Queens NY and my family moved to South Florida when I was 12, and being I was more or less raised there, I consider myself a "displaced South Floridian". I have 2 grown children (Chris 22 and Perri 25) who I am so proud of, and they are pretty much the only good that came out of my 1st marriage (also for 12 years).
   
    I'm a State of Florida "A" licensed water treatment plant operator and worked for the City of Pompano Beach, Florida for, you guessed it, 12 years. I became unable to work in any capacity at all after those 12 years, thus I now am classified as "Disabled" / "Retired". That pretty much sums everything about me in a nut shell...just an ordinary guy with a life I'm happy and thankful for...more than a lot of people can say.
   
    If your reading this, and aren't a member of the VOTSCC, I urge you to take a look at us and you'll see why I'm so happy there. We have a great owner in Paul, a dedicated and very active board of directors in myself (not conceited at all), Cory, Kelly and John and the best / most friendly members any CC would love to have....we are more of a family than a bunch of strangers.We have great Tournaments going on all of the time, including regular CC Tournaments, specialty Tournaments set up by our members (Paul, Arnie and myself), a Blitz that Cory runs and we play daily M - F, 2 Bracket Tournaments (1 Stroke Play / 1 CTTH) going at all times and we are very active in WGT sponsored events such as the Clash, where we've placed in the top 25 for the past few....14th in the last one, which shows you the unity and dedication of everyone our club...us being a 28 member CC and finishing so high all of the time shows the dedication everyone has to the club.
   
    We have an extremely active Forum which most everyone posts in and keeps us up to date on club events / computer tech support / jokes and a bunch of other stuff.
  
    I can go on selling the CC but words really can't describe how I feel about it...you have to see it to believe it. That does it for me....I hope that if you're reading this you give us a shot...nothing ventured, nothing gained!!! I'll see you soon....Jim (JimQ916)

    It is hard to believe that in the last month we have seen our CC grow from 26 to 56 . And then back down to 39 current . before we hit 56 there were about 8 that came and went . Meaning that 38  have come and 25 have gone . gaining 13 . Most of the remaining 13 will not last either . Some play a little . They will likely stay . But the ones that barely play and will not respond to anything will go . 
    I have to believe that we are just having a bad streak . A slump . Not finding the right players for what we like . Not likely we will find many new and or inexperienced players that will like the invites formats . Just players that do everything  else . Which is fine . I have to deal with it . 
    I have had to stop asking players to be available for some multiplayer matches and invites . No one wants to do that any more that I run into . No one . 
    There are many WGTers that I am sure find that hard to believe . Because they are part of a tightly closed nit , network of players that have always just naturally made themselves available for multiplayer and invite matches . Never having ever been without the ability to create and accept on a moments notice . 
    I know because I / we were once a circle of very active members that were available all the time for each other . 16 to 20 players can easily play several matches together every day . 
    Because of a miscommunication amongst a few members and a couple others  And a misunderstanding with a few others . A couple others that just moved on . And a few I removed .
    We ended up with no one that plays those formats . No one . That started about exactly 1 year ago until the first of the year 2016 . 
    Since then there have been at least 6 players that left because they could not get a response to any invites . Another announced that they will be leaving soon today . 
    I am just unlucky at this time to be filled with members that do not like to play multiplayer . There are a few that do like it and admit they are frustrated . But are good members and find plenty of other events to play in the CC . All the current members are awesome CC members . They do lots of other things . Just not invites . 
    I am optimistic always and always hope to recruit members that like multiplayer also . And think that will happen again soon . 
    We are looking for good active friendly all around members . It is a plus if you like invites . 
    So please click on some links . If you like what you see . Come give us a try . We would be happy to have you . 
    Thanx 
    Paul 
    May the SUN always be with you

    BTW . WGTers . I am going to change my approach to the recruitment focus in our CC . 
    I will no longer be perusing the available lists of any kind . If myself or one of our players comes across a perspective member . Fine we will always give them an opportunity . 
    I will continue to post and promote in this CC Corner thread . If a player likes what they read here . Of course we would be happy to accept you . Word of mouth is GR8 too .
    It has become obvious that the results of seeking out  prospective players is no longer worth the trouble .
    I still am optimistic that  the word will get around that we are a good solid CC and a good choice for casual active players that also want to be a part of a group of team mates . Friend them play with them . Support CC events . Be visible and proud .  Encourage and acknowledge them the same as we do for everyone ..
    Thanx 
    Paul

   A few openings have surfaced for players from all parts of the world . Still looking for personable members of all tiers . Players that have time to work on their game . Show some interest in various CC events and formats . And enjoy socially playing in interplay CC vs CC events to have fun playing with other CC's . Be inclined to get to know other members . Communicate with them and have time to play some multiplayer rounds . Players that know how to use a CC forum . Players that even might want to have some input in helping to grow and improve a CC with a a strong core and a lot of heart . 
    Of course any or all of those attributes are a good start . VOTSCC offers all of the above and so much more . If any of the described above sounds good to you . Then we could be a very good CC for you . Of course there are hundreds of very good CC's to choose from . But check ours out . You won't be disappointed . 
    I do not demand anything . I ask and suggest 
    I do not require any amounts of CC tournaments or particular mandatory events .
    You do not have to play everyday 
    I do not require minimums .
    You are not required to produce XP's or any that would cost you any money . Please do not turn down the free passes . .
    I only ask and suggest that you register in the CC website . This is a one time thing . This must be done . It is part of the CC and I have many reasons for this .
    I ask that one friends all members in the CC . This is very reasonable and i do not hound you to do it .
    As the owner it is imperative that I have I have contact with every member . That is a given .
    WGT provides a CC Forum with every CC . The forum has many purposes . First and foremost the forum provides information that you must know to be  a member . So it is a given that one must keep current by reading it regularly .
     WGT CC  Homepage
   https://www.wgt.com/clubs/home.aspx?id=148446
    Cool website there only to be used if you have a need to use its many cool features .
  https://www.valleyofthesuncc.com/
    The name of the CC is " Valley of the SUN Casual Club Country Club " and it is just that . A very enjoyable way to experience your time here in WGT .
  please read the testimonials on the previous pages by other members . there is also much content about what we have to offer and some of the ups and downs of running a CC that wants to be fully involved . There are many types of players at WGT . It is not easy to find the types of members described above . As they would already be in CC's and happy to be there . But I will never stop trying . 
    May the SUN always be with you

  You may not be aware..but this character (Randy) is from an Iconic Cdn show called the "Trailer Park Boys". He was only a part time "actor"...hired for his physical attributes?
  His real job was as a telephone repairman in a nearby city.

  Hi my name is Jen, stumbled on this thread and am so impressed with your tenacity. I am still amateur level and have not accepted any CC or blind friend invites yet.....was waiting to reach at least pro level before I do. Are you still accepting lower tier members? If yes, would I be a  minority? Your posts seem to suggest that your core group of players are higher tiered. I am a very casual player ( spare time an issue) but I am trying to get a few games a week in ( usually late night). Let me know. Thanks, J.

  Paul,
  Thanks for the offer, and standing up to JimBog. He may know how to play golf, but not much about diplomacy or tolerance of other's opinions.
  im currently in a small club that seems to favor WGT mobile app, so I fit in nicely. But I'll certainly keep you and this club in mind should the situation ever change.
  Regards,
  JasCooper

  For someone looking for a great CC to join, this would be it!  I was in a larger but defunct CC with no communication and nothing to do but learn on my own.  pdb1 sent me an invitation and things changed.  Communication.. Country Club Tournaments... tips, hints, tricks, advice by others that have been through it.
  I went from rarely playing at a L30 Amateur to a daily playing L80 Tour Master in 3 months.  Great bunch of people.. Come and join the fun!

  Been a member of Valley of the Sun Casual Club for around 5 months now. When my previous club was struggling for active members a merge with VOTSCC was an option we were all given. I enjoyed my old club. There was around 40 members in it although maybe only around 8 were active. But I prefer smaller clubs. There's a more togetherness feel about smaller clubs I think than a club that has 250 members. That's my personal opinion anyway. So when Pdb1 (Paul) invited me I was happy to join his club. How glad I did. As I type this we have 38 solid members. I've probably been in contact with at least 2 thirds of them. There's all types of tournaments to suit all tiers. Too many for me sometimes. Lol. And if you shoot a bad score 1 day there's never any teasing, just encouragement. In fact my games improved rapidly in the past 5 months. The club shows its togetherness in every CC Clash also,finishing usually in the Top 40 most clashes. For a small club, that is a tremendous achievement. Last but not least, the club is in great hands under Paul and the other directors I may add. Paul must spend 25 hrs a day running this club. The work that man does is something else. If you don't believe me, check out the club website. Yes we have our own website with bundles of info on it. All he asks is for a little communication, play some CC tournaments, but most of all have fun. So come on, give it a go.

  I was recruited from a dead club.
  I checked Valleyofthesuncc.com and read quite a few posts before deciding.
  I am very happy I made the change.
  Just check it out , what do you have to lose?

  pdb1:
  
    One of the hardest things to do here in WGT . Is find good prospective CC members 
    There is no way for good members that are not in CC's to be identified .
    The only place that one can view and see players not in CC's . Is in the WGT Tournament Leader Boards . Those players are the least prospective players in all of WGT . It is unbelievable . Literally hundreds upon hundreds of 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 year players there . That all they have ever done was play WGT tournaments . You are lucky if one of them has more than 2 friends after 9 years . Some have already tried CC's and had bad results . But most of them won't even say boo . 
    We have had several accept my invites and try things out for a while . Most would never reply to me and eventually I had to remove them . 
    Other than that there is no way to find players not in CC's . 
    Until recently ( like 6 months ago ) A couple of my friends sent me a couple lists of CC's where the owner had abandoned the CC's some time ago . Not making proper arrangements for some one to carry on with the ownership . 
    These CC's are left with no leadership , guidance , assistance . No way for recruits to become members . No way to find out information . They don't know about the main forums and barely know they have a CC forum . Most cases not used at all . 
    There are literally hundreds of CC's like this with thousands of members that are stuck like Chuck . And just think it is normal . 
    When I find out about one these CC's . I go to their homepage and scroll through the memberlist . I first look to see if anyone has played today or within a week from the current date . There are usually some . I will only click on those . And look to be sure that the last played date is correct . Most times not . They had evidently friended someone that day or something , bought some balls , etc.  But they would be the most active members in that CC . I only invite those . With a message and an invite to join VOTSCC . They would be the players below our memberlist on the homepage . 
    Scott , Martin , and Ron each came from a similar type scenario . I think Scott and Ron got random messages on their wall explaining that I had the answer to all their troubles . And of course when Martins CC folded . His owner at the time graciously recommended VOTSCC to his ex members . 
    But no matter where they are from or what their circumstances are . There are very few that actually like it enough here to communicate just a little so they can stay .
    Take a look at these recruiting efforts in one month .   1 MONTH OF INVITES . 
    Only a couple responded and eventually faded away . That is just one month a very busy month . But there have been easily 20 or 30 months with almost as many invites . 
    The amount would be mind boggling . I don't even think about it . But it does show that recruiting is extremely difficult for some like me / us . 
    Others don't even try and new members seem to flock to them .
    Oh and go figure this out . Those abandoned CC's with no hope . get new members almost daily if not weekly . Absolutely no recruitment efforts at all . 
    So I have come to conclude that basically any or most WGT players that are good CC member types . Are already in CC's . And even they are likely to change to another very popular large CC that they are familiar with and or have friends in . And do that several times . Which would tend to put us out of contention for those who just jump to popular CC's .
    I believe it is just the luck of the draw . We have not had our number picked in the LUCKY WHEEL OF FORTUNE IN THE SKY yet . But we will . Some day . And be flooded with GR8 potential CC members . Until then . It ain't happenin .

  
  
  

HOW TO MAKE THIS ALL WORK :

     THIS THREAD EXPLAINS WHAT OUR CC IS ABOUT . LISTS ALL,OF OUR EVENTS . AND INTRODUCES OUR DIRECTORS 
  .....................................................................................................................................................
  All of this will only work  if you all continue to post your greetings to the new players as well . 
   
    Please continue to do so . 
   
    Nobody likes to be told what to . I know that and have for a very long time . That's why I don't do that . What I do is inform you of certain conditions , requirements and protocol of the way things work best around here in VOTSCC . And I am very big on saying please and thank you . 
   
    The registration just to join the CC is very easy . There are a few steps that you would have to agree are reasonable before you did them . I will suggest that you complete the registration politely several times before I get the message that you don't agree . Then I will remove you . 
   
    Once you have fulfilled the easy first steps or close to it . You will be a full member . That could take up to 4 to 6 weeks if I see you are taking an interest .
   
    When you become a full member . I will basically leave you alone . As long as you make some small effort to be a visible happy member . Simply by making a remark or a post from time to time . Just playing CC tourneys is not enough here in VOTSCC . 
   
    Of course you would have to agree to that as well and voluntarily comply with our very easy protocol in order for that to work . 
   
    There are a few other things that I / we would ask that all members do . 
   
    One is to respond and welcome all new recruits . And the same as they become full members . 
   
    Another is to stay aware of current affairs . By reading this forum . We just had another custom tournament spoiled because players obviously did not read this forum or even the name of the tournament and played with regular equipment . Instead of like the name of the tournament implied and a couple forum posts explained . It was to be played with starter equipment and balls . We will not be trying that again anytime soon .
   
    There should not be more than 2 bracket tourneys running at the same time  A stroke and a CTTH . Both free to enter . As a member . If you see one of those brackets is struggling to fill . Unless you are completely anti bracket . Which is okay to be . Then please step up to help fill the bracket . 
   
    These things above and many more should go without saying . I don't want to have to speak up and post and beg for things to run right . I have seen first hand here in the past that it is not necessary . Everything just runs right when we all agree to make that happen . 
     I spell things out the way i do for everyones benefit . Especially for those who are not clear or have never been in a CC before . The things that we ask are trimmed down and scaled down to be the minimal they can in order for this CC not to  stagnate and disappear into oblivion . Lol . Right ?
    Thank you 
    Paul

        Just to spell  out the registration process for you . In the last almost 3 years . I have found many things that proved to be consistent things that help more when things are running  well . and things that don't work so well . The conditions below are very easy and when everyone works and agrees to them to get those dealt with . My job is made a lot easier . And everything else just falls into place . I know it seems different for most of you but I ask you to trust that the results are a beginning to a very smooth well run enjoyable experience . Probably unlike most thought was possible in a CC .
      When you come in . I post your CC Forum welcome here . I copy a link to it and post it in your profile welcome . Eventually these guys will respond to your welcome here . Eventually you will respond to your welcome here . It's how we all shake hands . Get that down home feeling . Lol . maybe not . Maybe get your first name . Mostly on a first name basis here . 
      Your profile welcome mentions the rest of the basics that are necessary to get started on just to be here .
      You and I must have some sort of a rapport . I don't need to chat with you . But I may need to ask you something now and then .
        Friending all other members at your convenience . No big deal . No pressure . 
      Start playing some CC tourneys . This is a big one Being in a CC means making the effort and doing CC things with and for the group that is the CC . Tourneys are a big part of that Entering the formats that suit you . We have no No minimums . Just play some . Whatever fits your schedule .You will get a KICK ASS participation award . When you start playing . And various other accolades and rewards and trophies for your achievements .
      We have a website . It is very cool . It has a lot of information about all kinds of things . There are many forums , with many sub forums and topics inside of them . There is a  chat , tutorials , information , replays , hall of fames , matches , tourneys , more information . 
      I use it to keep stats , records , scorecards , scores results , personal bests , trophies , events , tournies , etc . 
      It is harmless . I pay to not have any spam or advertising that would bother anyone .
      Unfortunately it is unused . And a virtual ghost town at this point . 
      But it is part of the CC and i need every member to register there with your  WGT username . You are not required to use it . But it is yours too . To use or not as it has many cool features . 
    https://www.valleyofthesuncc.com/
      When you register you will receive a club logo . Which is optional , up to you . If you do use it . It can have any name you wish on it . 
    ..........................................................................................................................................................
      All of the above is all it takes to register and be a full member . Talk to me , Play CC tourneys , Friend members , Register in the website . Very simple . 
      Also on your profile welcome . There is a link to our guidelines . Please read those . The above is just the beginning . The guidelines are just the basics . I mention that there will be other things that will come up that may require you to step up and be a strong member . 
      CC XP's are not a thing here . Not required at all . If you are into them . Go for it . If you are not . I suggest you try to use your free passes efficiently . You will get a recognition trophy for all of everything you do at each 100,000 point mark .
      CC Bracket tourneys . There is at this time a continual stroke bracket going all the time . We are on our 79th in a row . We just started our CTTH's back up . They went 39 in a row . Previously . 
      We have several good tourney makers . You can make some too . JimQ916 is our awesome Tournament Director . Please friend Jim first . He will be posting in our CC forum . Every tournament , who has entered , who has and has not played their rounds , how much time is left in the round . he also has occasions when he must PM you . Please be mindful of the possibility and respond accordingly . 
      There is a daily BLITZ Mon thru Fri . 
      A 2 course CTTH SKILLS CHALLENGE . Every 72 hours .
      2 different Stoke Play in CC titles . And 2 different in CC Match Play titles . To be challenged by anyone . Challenge the title holder and win and sport the title on your wall until some beats you for it . 
      We also host CC vs CC interplay matches . Where we challenge other CC's to a somewhat matched up to 16 player roster in a match play event . We are in our 7th one right now . LIVE AND LET GOLF IN THE VOTS
      All of this and more is why we feel that a little connection and pride and ownership and presence is the least we all can do and show . To appreciate and enjoy our experience here at WGT in this CC VOTSCC . 
      I must also mention . The WGT CLASHES . Are not a required event . Some of us enjoy them . So much that all but 2 times we finished in the top 50 . Several times in the top 25 . The last 3 CLASHES in the top 15 . 
    Congratulations! Your club finished 15 in the CC EVENT #26 that ended on 26 Jun.

   What is a WGT CC 
  
  There are as many agendas as there are WGT CC's . The commonalities are few . Mainly a place where a group of players gather for many reasons . Mostly to benefit from the availability of specific features offered in the CC's agenda . 
   
    Whether it be monetary , skills , entertainment , enjoyment . One can excel with the customized events featured . 
   
    There are some very hard nosed CC's . That require stringent registration and membership commitments . Like minimums of CC and multiplayer events required each week or month , entry into premium tournaments . Required use of CC XP pass on a daily basis . And many more things that fit into some CC's agendas .
   
    Many seek this type of CC and are very happy with them . 
   
    Some require nothing at all . Once a recruit . You will remain a recruit forever . There will be no information on how to improve , tier up , differences in various equipment , how to lower your average . If any , a small selection of tournaments usually not accommodating to your tier level . No CC forum to speak of to inquire and receive information . 
   
    WGT includes a CC forum with every CC to be utilized for the purposes of communicating information and important details for many different things . 
   
    VOTSCC would like to be open to all tiers . Accepting and supporting . Teaching and improving any and all areas any member so desires . The availability of a variety of formats for all tiers . In the ultimate environment to take the time get the information and do the work needed to let one be the best they can be here in WGT . That is just the basics and beginning of what VOTSCC would like to provide . 
   
    On top of all that . Being a fully involved group with accessible members . That are friendly and helpful and supportive of all team mates . Available as friends to PM to inquire , or set up matches . A conscious effort to be green at times often to invite and accept invitations from other CC members . All of which takes effort from any who enjoy this type of format . It will not just happen at a whim . Concerted efforts by many must be consistent for this to be a reality . 
   
    Efforts at all times to help to fill brackets . By those who enjoy brackets . Not just sometimes . Because that causes stagnation and frustration . 
   
    Entry into CC tourneys made for your tier level . High participation  makes them more fun and worthwhile . Members friendily and competitively pushing other members as team mates to help us all to improve to our very best . Cheering and congratulating all along the way . 
   
    These CC tourneys are the ultimate practice rounds that actually count . Created so that if you are not liking the way the round is going . You do not complete the round . But rather restart from the menu and try it again then or try it again later . When you finally get a score that you like . You finish the round and is the only round that counts . In these single player unlimited play rounds . Any incomplete round does not count against your average . Or against your game completion average . GC% . But they do count against you in multiplayer ranked rounds .
   
    The CC environment is the best place to prepare oneself to challenge other WGT players in multiplayer stroke play ranked rounds . To hone your skills to get the confidence to create or join a game in the game client and kick ass . 
   
    There are other skill based formats in VOTSCC . BLITZES and CTTH's that are fun and challenging and very beneficial to your game play . 
   
    There are 4 in CC for VOTSCC players only challenge competitions . 2 stroke play and 2 match play . " The Magic Star " stroke . " The King " match . " The Golden Dragon " stroke .
  " The Royal Moon " match . Where at any time any member challenges the title holder to a 9 hole round . Stating at the start of the match that they are challenging for the title . If you win . You sport the title on your wall until someone takes it from you . 
    
    All of this . And so much more . Is why the very easy conditions that are asked to join . Make it so worth while . 
   
    This CC is awesome and different and we have had various periods of GR8 success . And various periods of slowness . But we never give up . 
   
    Very happy and proud to have every one of you part of this GR8 CC .
   
    Thank you very much . 
   
    VOTSCC

  CC BRACKET TOURNEYS :
    I WANT TO PUT THIS SOMEWHERE IT WILL BE SEEN BY ALL . IF I HAD THE ABILITY TO GROUP MESSAGE I WOULD BE DOING THAT . I STOPPED SENDING THEM ONE AT A TIME OVER A YEAR AGO . 
    CC Bracket Tournaments are a single play event . Same as WGT Bracket Tournaments . 
    The difference is in CC Bracket tournaments . One is accountable for their entry . 
    Single play CC Bracket Tournaments are a higher level of game play . A more serious format . A higher level of commitment because they are single play . And the field is limited to 16 players that understand this commitment and the rules of the format . 
    Each player knows this prior to their entry in his event . That they are committed to each round . To complete each round and record a score . The player matched up with your name also has the same commitment . You can not decide mid round that the opponent is having a better round . If you show up for your round . the option to not complete the round is not possible . If this is not agreeable to you . Do not sign up for our bracket tourneys .
    This is especially important in the first round . If the clock in the round is still ticking . And you show a WD . That means that you started playing your round and QUIT before completing it . That is not acceptable and gives your match up a bye . And they likely had a worse round than you . But they stepped up and completed their round respectfully . 
    That is how it works here . No big deal . Just takes a commitment to finish your round . 
    If you miss your round . That is a different story . Shyt happens . We will give you the benefit of the doubt that if you could have been there you would have . And you would have completed your round . 
   
    BTW i have the ability to group message in the website . Unfortunately the target audience for this message has not registered in the website and would not receive them .

But they do count against you in multiplayer ranked rounds .

    For those of you that are not clear about the difference between our WGT CC , WGT CC Forum  And our Awesome Bonus Website . 
    Our focus at this point in time is almost entirely here in this WGT CC / WGT CC Forum . 
    Everything I / we talk about and do is of and about trying to build and improve and maintain all this WGT stuff . 
    The website https://www.valleyofthesuncc.com/ . I created . Is an incredible website / forum that has many things to offer that are user friendly with options not available in WGT . 
    The original plan was to try and incorporate some of that cool stuff into our CC . ( long story ) . It became obvious that that was going to be a battle that I / we were not ready for . 
    It would have had to have been a completely voluntary and cooperative effort by all . That proved to be something bigger and harder than we / our members were willing to undertake . I wasn't about to try and demand and make members to comply . 
    The CC was very active  when I first introduced the website . Within a couple months I started to host a series of 20 multi player week end tournaments called " THE VALLEY OF THE SUN KICK ASS TOURS WEEK END FUN IN THE SUN " . Through http://challonge.com/ . A website that provides auto generated brackets for all kinds of sports . And was the original reason it was necessary for everyone to register in the site with their WGT username .http://challonge.com/ and WGT have a common link through the usernames for Challonge invites and emails . Very convenient . 
    These tournaments were a tough format for some to follow . But we still pulled them off successfully for several months in the first half of 2015  
    These brackets were played in our website in the live embedded brackets . With the use of our chat room in the website . All participants could see the brackets as they changed rounds and match ups until the finals . And a Supreme Champion would be named .
   click here to see the website page and the brackets and the chat they were played in 
    or click Page 3 . 
    click here for more information
    or click Page 2
    After a good run . The tournaments came to a screeching halt when the WGT " invisilble invite " glitch overtook us and made it impossible to invite or receive invites for many players . 
    After that the website and it's activity slowed considerably . Until virtually no one to speak of ever came there for chatting in the chat room . Which was and still could be a very good place to stop in and see who was there , leave a message to someone or anyone . That you were going to be on and wanting to play . The chatroom was a place you could click to in a second no matter what you were doing . You could be playing  a round and just click over to it . See some one you knew or wanted to play a match with ( usually by chance I admit ) . But when it was more active . it was more likely to happen . 
    I tried to encourage and promote the site and all it GR8 features . But it became evident that it was too much to ask . That it was probably enough to get our WGT CC to be active . The website was a whole different commitment . And was not going to happen . 
    That was a tough pill for me to swallow . I had put a considerable amount of work into the venture . I had no choice but to back away and put those plans on the back burner . 
    That was fine . Because just keeping a WGT CC together is a very difficult job in itself . 
    So to this day . Even though the website is still full of very helpful information . And is still a part of this CC . It is only a bonus and available to our CC members , members from other CC's , members not belonging to CC's , and some that don't even belong to WGT . 
    It is not required to use it .
    Some of us still use it to record  our Desert BLITZ  scores .A successful format I created in the website  . 
    I do use it for the recording of stats , records , wins , scorecards , personal bests , trophies , tutorials , how to's . Related to every player and tons of stuff that comes from all over the place . 
    So now I ask and require that all CC members only register there with their WGT username for my purposes and needs for the WGT CC . 
    After a one time registration there . Nothing else is required of you there . It is totally up to you whether you visit it or utilize any of it .

      Here we can talk about and set up our multi player matches . I am still trying to generate more interest in those matches . I just want to ask that you play 1 or 2 now and then . With a CC mate or 2 or 3 . 
      Especially if you haven't tried them before or only have a couple few under your belt . 
      Not trying to change the formats that you like . Only to add this and on occasion play this . 
      They are so much fun . They are ice breakers . And it is so comfortable and rewarding getting to know your CC mates a little better . 
      The alt shot and match play rounds are completely social . As they can never count in any way ( with the exception of scored match play rounds won by a lower tier , those rounds count in that the lower tier winner gets a couple points shaved off their average ) . Other than that the alt shot and match play rounds are just plain fun .
      The stroke play matches do count . But if i am playing with CC members I have yet to be able to stop talking . And pay attention to any serious game play .
        Yesterday  I got an invite from Kelly . We played a GR8 match play round . So much fun . 
      Today I got an invite from wishman51 Andrew , And deadfreight  Steve joined us for a stroke play match . As has happened the last 3 times I have played Andrew there has been a disconnect on the first hole and everybody comes back except Andrew . IDK what's up with that ? But Steve and i played on and finally met and chatted and the game flew right by . A lot of fun . It was GR8 finally meeting and playing a match with Steve . 
      I also met  a guy the other day in an alt shot match . Another CC owner named UFCJohny . CC is called Arnies Army . That's all I know about that . But he has been trying to challenge me to a BLITZ tracked round . The first 2 times I disconnected . In those it's game over . And you don't want too many of those or your completion icon turns to average and then poor completion colors . ( whatever colors those are I think orange and yellow IDK i'm colorblind . green is good .)
      Well we finally completed one today . And i whooped him . 
      YOUR ENTRIES GO HERE . BELOW MINE . IN THE NEXT POST .
