I have been playing for a little while and tried my first tournament tonight.
I will NOT be playing in another...
The meter FROZE in the middle of my swing. I expected that the swing would carry through and just ignore the stroke. But... no. The stroke sliced WILDLY off the course into what looked like a jungle. After three or four failed attempts to get back onto the green, my ball disappeared into invisible "water".
Nice way to steal 50 credits from me...
Until the stroke meter gets fixed, I'm not spending another dime on this game.
