I don't understand this mindset of being able to get everything now! What happened to enjoying the process of earning rewards.
1000 holes will take roughly 55 rounds of golf. If people play 2 rounds a day it would take less than a month. And you would be levelling up the whole time.
There is no need to make the point system more irrelevant even faster than it takes to do it now. I would have rather it had been up to level 100 giving you only 1 skill point at a time.
I think it took me only about 3 weeks to get to level 50 if memory serves me correctly. That doesn't provide much value for a AAA title. The game is so easy anyway do we really need to level up to the max.
I feel once you get all the shot types (when I was using them), everything else was just icing on the cake. The extra 10 skill points are more to get people to grind and play the game, it really doesn't add that much to the gameplay.
It really is a hook to get some people to come back and play. I'm a completionist at heart but even I don't feel a pull to do this.
