  YankeeJim:

  Newsflash, jobeak-WGTIcon is as close as you're going to get regarding a response from WGT and that will be based on his own experiences here.

  At least that would be an acknowledgement. I have sent e-mails to WGT on other issues and also have not recieved replies. It's just rude.

  Its not too much to ask for a one liner saying,

  "We are looking into this matter"

  Still no response from WGT and it happened again tonight when I was near the end of a very good round. I was -9 going onto the 17th. There was a 10 mph wind from the left so I allowed for it, and guess what. It went exactly where my little blue aimer was positioned.  The wind was there for my second shot though. I ended up taking a bogey and wrecked any chance I had of winning.

  WGT PLEASE RESPOND!!!!!!!

  LMAO. I'm gonna start calling the wind Jobeak instead of Mariah! It didn't stop you from winning that SA 18 RG-nice win there.  :-)

  Cheers Jim. I was lucky. 63 wouldn't usually be good enough.

  You can call me Thorn, because I'm not gonna give up on this issue. I will be a thorn In WGT's side until I get a response.

  I guess there is not gonna be anything done about this even though it continues to happen to me. WGT's lack of response on this issue is the height of ignorance as far as I am concerned. What a joke. And this is supposed to be a bug log.

  jobeak-Something isn't right. I know you have issues with that wind but I've played that hole a good 10 times since your first observation and I can't see what you're talking about. I get expected results on good hits and bad off that tee.  

  Do you aim with the reverse cam or off the mini map? Do you try to ding the shot or miss intentionally? There has to be a reason you're the only one seeing this so there has to be a solution. It definitely isn't a bug or it would have been pointed out a lot sooner by more than one player and many would be going jobeak on it.  :-)

  I use the arrow at the bottom right to move the camera forward to aim.

  I always try to ding the shot. I will record a video of the next occurence as soon as it happens again. A replay doesn't show the swing meter.

  Try aiming without the camera. Aim off the tee using the mini map and stretch your aim until it's red.

  just finished playing. The wind worked just fine off the tee and my second shot. My only comment is that sometimes the wind works too well on that hole. I can count on it pushing the ball which ever way the wind blows. Good luck, have a nice day.
