Re: Please Help With Glitch!

  Hi again with another bug/glitch.  This time it is a two putter glitch!

  I was trying to equip a full set of clubs in my equipment screen and every time I would try to put a third wedge or a hybrid along with my iron set, driver, putter, and two other wedges I would get that "unexpected error" message.  So I gave up and decided to play with 13 clubs and not waste the free rental time fighting a glitch.  When I started the practice round, I saw I had two putters!  I can use both too!  I guess it is a pleasant surprise, an awkwardly pleasant surprise.  

  I think I've read where a number of people have wanted the ability to use more than one putter during a practice round to better compare putters.  I've been testing out the difference forgiveness makes between the PING Redwood ZB (L72+) and the WGT>STARTER Putter when missing the perfect shot line.  I just completed a practice round on the F9 of Merion while taking numerous mulligans on the greens and switching between putters without a glitch or error message (of course, besides the apparent glitch of two putters).  

  Here are some images:

  

  

  I don't know how I made this happen, or if I did it or not.  I don't know if WGT is testing out the ability to give players the choice of having multiple putters or switching out irons from different iron sets and the testing leaked into the main server or something.

  Anyway, if anyone wants to play a game with someone wielding two putters, invite me to match play practice mode.  Or if more than one wants to join, do stroke play practice—any tees, any green speeds, wind, or even Uneven Lies, I'd like that.  Just make sure it's practice mode.  Hopefully I'll be here all afternoon today.  So, if you want to see two putters, invite me now before it's gone!

  Thanks,
  JMan

  Both of your screen shots show the RW putter...or are you trying to show something else?

   

  edit:

   

  I do see in your profile that you have both putters...I'll try to do the same thing and see what happens.

   

  Edit 2:

   

  Won't let me do it, I get a circle with a X in it when trying to place it in an open slot.

  Hey MBaggese,

  Yeah, I didn't do the images like I should have.  What I did was I had the WGT STARTER Putter selected and then hovered the mouse over the Redwood ZB Putter.  For the second image I should have selected the Redwood ZB and hovered over the WGT STARTER.  But, in the images you can see that I am wielding in my (virtual) hands the WGT STARTER.

  Also, it seems that the glitch is "wearing off" lol.  I was just in a practice round before I got the "We're sorry, there has been an error with the game" message and when, with the 30ft scale of the WGT STARTER putter in hand, I tried to select the Redwood ZB and it didn't give it to me, it only gave me the 60ft meter increment of the WGT STARTER.  

  I realized that it isn't as urgent as it seemed because I can un-equip my Stand Bag Plus and then equip the other clubs.  But now, after switching between club sets in my Stand Bag Plus, I have the Redwood and the EZ SWING Putter and I can use both.

  So, a lot of odd things are happening.  Also I keep getting booted out and when I logged back in, it wouldn't let me [EDIT@3:35PM] replay reply at first.  Maybe WGT admins are logging onto my account and tinkering with the game as I type.

  Might have to do with the BS plus...I just have the normal BS...something for them to look at for sure.

   

  You should email support...be terrible if 1/2 way through a tourney you were booted.
