Now, that’s what I call a promo! San Jose-based online games publisher GamesCampus.com has just announced its latest promotion for its popular online golf game Shot-Online: Anyone who emails or mails in a bona fide receipt for real golf equipment will receive Shot-Online’s latest in-game golf equipment for free.
“We know that the majority of our players are golf fans and play golf on a regular basis so we thought this would be a nice way to reward those players,” says David Chang, executive vice president for marketing and business development of GamesCampus.
“With out new promotion, our players can spend their money on real golf equipment and still get some really special equipment in Shot-Online, which will help increase their enjoyment of golf regardless of whether it is online or in real life,” he adds.

It is, however, a one-is-to-one deal, meaning if you buy a Big Bertha Diablo, an all-titanium driver from Callaway, then you’ll get Shot-Online’s newest driver to use in the game for free. If you purchase a dozen Titleist Pro V1s, then your Shot-Online character will receive the best virtual golf balls in the game.
Of course, you need to send a scanned copy of the receipt along with your GamesCampus ID to freeclubs@gamescampus.com to get the virtual items. It’s not such a bad deal, especially if you play real golf and spend real money on great golf equipment. But will you have time to enjoy a virtual golf game with your shiny new virtual golf equipment as well?
Hey, if you’re interested, hie off to Shot-Online’s official site and check out the rules for the promo.
