i don\'t know where these people get that you have to pay to get the features in this game. everything available to those who pay are available to those who don\'t. you just can\'t play for real cash is the only difference. its a beta is why there are only 2 courses at the moment. yes some things aren\'t going to work, but they seem to fix problems that pop up. i\'m basing that on talking with others who have played some of the other games they offer. good game so far and could be great if they keep up with it.
