    No Wind - What is the purpose of this tournament?

    It's a nice exercise in getting accurate information about club distances and club accuracy, but as far as a tournament goes, what a fkn joke.

    Dansamcam is already on the board with a 24. With unlimited starts and every shot being a simple math equation (but only if you have accurate clubs) it's nothing more than low-score masturbation.

    What next? A three foot wide cup? A club that pauses for 5 seconds at the ding line? A driver that hits 500 yds? How about a course with no rough or elevation change...

    Ugh, WGT talks about being realistic, but they never, NEVER pass up an opportunity to make the game more and more cartoonish.

    Can't wait for the next update. I'm looking forward a ball that's magnetically drawn to the flagstick (or whatever other crap you dream up for people to shoot ever-lower scores).

    24, pffft.

    Hi

    When we have high wind, we get the other types of threads. We are trying to switch things around:)

    Working out shots can be very useful as well.

    I get it. People complain no matter what's done. Still, creating an unlimited entry tournament with zero wind and letting that count as a ranked round is retarded.

    Your proshop is littered with an ever increasing array of equipment that slows the meter, maxes out accuracy and forgiveness, stops on a dime from 230 yards up hill with a tailwind, and balls that fly farther and have more spin than anything ever seen before...

    And most of this equipment is available to only the highest level players. The "best" players all have this equipment, enabling them to shoot increasingly ridiculous scores. Now you give them Olympic with no wind.

    That's fine icon. WGT can do whatever it wants, but a game I used to respect is becoming a joke.

    I just introduced my girlfriend's sons to the game and they love it. They love it because they're 12 year olds and they just discovered that hitting golf balls is fun. I enjoy playing with them too, but this game is now more geared for their 12 year old minds than my 42 year old golfer's brain.

    WGT has taken the low road. WGT has become a glorified (and much prettier) version of Tiger Woods Golf and its ridiculous scoring. The 12 year olds absolutely love it.

    As for the complaints that come from all corners, as I understand it, WGT uses this forum as a way to monitor feedback. This is my feedback.

    Actually............this was shot using unlimited balls so makes it even more special.

    low score masturbation.....lolol....i like that.

    the thought of Danno sitting in front of his pc with his whanger in one hand and the mouse in the other whilst he shoots a 24 is just dandy.

    does danno get up to such antics whilst playing WGT ?

    it's that no win situation. 

    a bit like my ex.....give her a lot of money she complains it's too much......give her a little less and you're gonna have to sleep with one eye open.
