This may sound strange but it worked for me.
1) Turn off the loop (right mouse button - loop)
2) Low quality - i know it not as pretty but that's the trade off
3) When you press play and the window pops up, don't make it bigger.
I used to fill the entire screen (by making the window bigger) and this made the meter very jumpy. Couldn't play matchplay, A/S at all. I never have the problem if I leave the window at the size it pops up at.
It may be that the computer slows down by having to recalculate the images to fit the screen whereas if you left it alone there would be no speed issue.
Just a thought - try it.

lol, Mark - different strokes for different folks.
I play the game in Komodo Dragon (a secure version of Chrome) and WGT is the ONLY thing running in KD when playing - IOW, no other tabs or KD windows open. For other activity I use Chrome or Firefox.
I play with screen maximized - not using the full screen button in upper left of window, but rather the maximize button in lower right of the playing window (next to the speaker icon). I DO THIS BECAUSE IT GIVES ME VERY CONSISTENT METER LENGTHS - please note that the meter length and positions are slightly different for your putter vs. all the other clubs in your bag.
In the MENU/OPTIONS list I turn off: WGT lessons, camera pans, reflections, hole info display, flag animation, end-of-game messages, and putter pal - everything else I leave on, with Flash quality set to HIGH.
When playing WGT, I have GameBooster installed and turned on.
I maintain a very short list of WGT friends (20 max), since every time one of your WGT friends changes status a signal is injected into the game window - if that happens during your downswing you WILL get a glitch.
Before the first game of the day, I clear cache, download, and browsing history by hitting CTRL-SHIFT-DEL in a newly opened tab of my game window - then I close the extra tab.
I am quite happy with the playing conditions that result - I never blame WGT for a bad shot, because I know it was crappy execution on my part, or (frequently) a stupid shot or club selection.
