OK I will Elaborate. I haven't really been on the forum for years . I log on, close the home page , play and close the game window for years.
About ten month's ago I noticed the game becoming more difficult. ie: Rarely making birdies rarely making par or lower in any round.
This trend continued to the point the game was not fun anymore. I wrote this off as the usual WGT trying to get me to upgrade my clubs $$ thing. I always resisted buying new clubs , but did a few times as I moved up through the tiers.
I finally broke down and bought a wedge and a putter last month. I played great . My first Eagle in over a year, many birdies and pars. Holed quite a few approach shots . Flops , Chips , pitches all working nicely. Backspin was controllable and the ball would stick.Putter was accurate and lags were easier!
FOR ABOUT A WEEK
The performance of these 2 clubs as well as all my clubs faded quickly with the new year. Ten days into 2020 it is worse than ever. This is why i came back to the forum and asked about the ownership of the website. I pulled up a post that said something about Topgolf buying the game in April 2018.
This seems to be around the time the difficulty of the game clicked up quite a bit.
I was trying to find out if other players shared this experience and if they think it is related to the new owners.
