  I know and understand how to use the mouse, but quite often while swinging, the mouse will seem to take off on its own resulting in terrible scores. Does anyone else have this problem or know of a cure?

  Hi

  I never encountered such problem. Can you try different browser and see if it fixes on it's own?

  Maybe you've got a female mouse in the house...mine is terrible about chasing after the opposite gender....HB3

  Are you on a laptop or a desktop? The USB mouse on my laptop , just yesterday, was doing the same thing. All by itself it was racing all over. It turned out to be something in the touch pad because I held it down and the problem stopped, like maybe it was sticking. I never use the touch pad.

  If you're using a wireless mouse, it may be the batteries are coming to the end of their useful life. My mouse gets 'stuttery' long before the low battery indicator lights up.

  as a previous poster said a wireless mouse with weak batteries could be causing your problem. Also a poorly positioned receiver can cause problems as well. If it is a wired mouse there are 2 possibilities that could be your problem.  1. Your mouse could be partially unplugged which can cause all sorts of problems. 2. You mouse may be old and a mouse with worn contacts can cause many problems as well. A mouse with worn contacts can cause false clicks when they lose contact. You might try a new mouse to see if that is your problem. Cheaper mice wear out much quicker than a good mouse does and most of the ones that come with newer computers are very cheaply made and fail long before they should.

  Hi and thanks everyone, I have no idea what caused the problem , but I changed from IE8 to Google Chrome and everything seems to be working, except my golfing. That part still sucks but hopefully I might improve one day, thanks and good luck everyone.
