    mmikkeelee:

    being close to the pin isnt always a good thing.

    some holes i like to be under the hole with a long putt , rather than be left or right of the pin 5 feet away.

    i think its rsg hole.11 

    being under the hole short is better then being right of the hole and say 4 feet away.

    happy hitting 

    :)

    This is good advice, obvious advice to better players, but good advice all the same.

    It's great when you are able, but there are plenty of times that no matter how much i try and avoid the danger putts, the ball will magically find the worse possible spot it can. The last 4 times I played cabo, the 18th no matter how hard I have tried for the 25 foot putt up hill as i used to make that putt plenty or at least take the par, and i know the break, I have been long right or left consistently lately. Could have something to do with it being a 1000 credit RG, who knows.

    And I will point out in case I'm not clear, it's not like this every hole, just enough holes to throw a wrench in the spokes so to speak.

    Anyway back on topic, I'd much rather have a 10 foot straight putt then a 6 foot bender and aim for the straight putt all the time. And in the rare circumstance that i do not know where the right landing zone is, I use the chip view to find it.

    There is not much any of us can do about this VEM or deviation stuff but just grin and bear it, or vote with our wallet.

    The complaint is made, if things change great, it will make for a better experience if we can just deal with our own mistakes or the just deal with general expected deviation, but I know the the lights are on but is anybody home........

    Did I not see this thread somewhere else already. : )

    I don't even worry anymore, I have made some crazy ridiculous puttts, and missed dead gimmes. Put one one my replays from 123 feet for eagle, and the next hole missed a putt from 1.8 feet that went dead sideways from the putter. All good, and nothing we can do. I am sure I aimed that 123 footer perfect and forgot the dead straight 1.8 footer.

    isnt the object of golf is to overcome and adapt???  i mean if every round were the same wouldnt u get bored and start complaining about it not being hard enough??  as in any sport....such as auto racing  u dont race ur opponent u race the track conditions and if something gets in ur way u simply figure out how to get around the problem the easiest way possible....just a thought from someone taught to keep it simple

    There has been sandbagging and now people are getting bumped up to Legend at very low levels, BUT WGT have now had a couple of chances to enhance the equipment available to them after that came about.

    Becoming clear that a sell off was wanted? and pure growth demanded? I no longer think they cared about the sandbagging more an excuse to bump people up early and encourage restarts?

    I just like playing a good golf SIM, but see no point in any skins/RG/MPC without at least a level playing field to lose my credits.....OK something may tempt me now and again to try but point made basically..............

    ? is will WGT listen.............. I have not touched on VEM as done in this thread already....

    The fact is there is the odd meter issue also exists.  Mine usually runs fine but are they really working on it? The video carousel that does not work suddenly with chrome without pepper enabled, the pro shop comparison's that work with Maxthon even Android, not chrome, no CC upgrades but HIO challenges abound...... and etc......all a little slap dash - picture begins to build where resources are targeted........ 

    I appreciate a statement from a mod recently, BUT WGT itself should issue something? Sh"t I can't see one single step been taken to make you think even work in progress, and that might end up being bad for WGT to...........

    Growth is fine, but can be over done or has nothing been learnt from the target modelling which caused the GFC.............Those basics might just apply here to............
