  What sucks more is that I have played with cheap balls and got a decent 3 under, and was -4 under  in hole 8 ,4 feet from the hole with cheap balls again, when WGT came up with error.... but played with Nike and finished like +3, had the same shot with the same club (wood) and in the first missed the ding right (hole 11 CCC, yes, water hole), the ball went to the 4 feet mentioned above, then, from about same distance, I dinged and it went way right...and like 52 yds short... and way right.. is this a roulette?,, the second was more reasonable,  as the dots were moving right, but  with a ding it went less than 200 with the wood, and the other with a miss, that could mean water, went  4 ft left of the hole.. with crap balls... all the games I have played with free balls and 10 credits balls were under par, the Nikes didn't help.

  its about time this was added to the game!!!

  in real golf there is lies u can not go for the green

  in real life u have to play out of a bunker to place for a decent yard to green!

  u have place to ya ball center of the green

  this can only be better for wgt as its the most realistc golf game !!!! which is bold to say the least only the hd graphics for me are real like..

  another thing is the swing meter....

  why not have 2 swing meters, 1 that goes across left to right

  that will be were u want the ball flight to go, either u want a draw or fade or dead center the "DING".

  the 2nd goes up and down 

  that will be how hard a player wants to hit the ball..

  anyone who watches the pga see players hit 190 with low irons or wedges.

  with un even lies and a harder meter or more technical meter can only be better to take this game forward

  make shots more realistc bt lies and clubs more difficult to hit correct ... thats my opinion sorry if people disagree with me bt only 1 thinkin maybe how we can take the game forward :))

  A JOKE???

  Not even close to a joke. Mahaps about as real as a Snowman in Hell!!

  A 12 yard shot. Hit 25 yard pitch shot at  full swing from 15/20 rough goes 5 yards??

  A 40 yard sand shot in 10/15 hard sand. 3" up slope. Hit 60 yard wedge full power with B/S, and it goes 6 yards.

  If WGT implements this feature in ranked rounds, you can kiss my 4 year membership goodby.

  E-Nuff said

  it will be intro'd into ranked eventually .. only after lotsa fine tuning 1st .. this is only the beginning .. MisterWGT also mentioned that it will be spoken about at the next live chat .. expect it to be top of the agenda i'll bet .. i don't think it'll be on ranked rounds anytime too soon .. but it'll come

  Stop complaining sissy's ; ). It's really not that bad once you get used to it,and makes the game much more of a challenge,which is what we all want right?(not everyone likes playing Kiawah Island or St. Andrews on easy settings,which seems to be the norm) O yah i also still play with beginner clubs and am getting plenty of par and birdie chances on clubs like Olympic. No the game isn't perfect, but sure close enough and for basically free how can we complain? Cheers wgt for raising the bar and making our brains work a little harder.

  So ive held back from speakin till i had played 7-8 rounds and tbh i like the changes, it brings in more elements of golf i will list what i think..

   

  1)The drive is so important as you have to try place your ball on as flat a part of the fairway as you can find, no more just hittin fairway and then bang, the drive is now crucial and placement of ball on correct part of fairway is now essential.

  2) Being able to 2 putt from long distance is now a must.

  3) Up n down skills again is crucial as birdies are now well and hard earned and you cant afford to lose shots gained by not being able to get up n down.

  4)being in rough around the green is now totally different to how it was and you have to be brave and give it much more ooomph and just learnt it.

  5) The only complaint i would have would be in bunkers as it seems unreal and its unpredictable and doesnt replicate real life bunker shots, if you watch rory or mickelson in bunkers they are able to make the ball dance/run/skip/check and bite at will and we need this in WGT .

  6) So i like the challenge of game now and -3 for 9 holes feels really good and like i say only bunker shots need to replicate real life more, i like the fact that the drive is now so important and not just a shot to get out of the way so you can look good on any part of the fairway.

  7) I will give examples of some shots and how they played out

  kiah hole 9) 180yd to pin, pin at back placement, 3mph wind in face, i hit 190yd club fullbs full power and it went 174 yds, 2 putt n a nice par.

  kiah 2nd hole, front rough just b4 green, 40/50 rough, pin at back,14yds to pin, hit 25yd flop full bs full power it goes 12 yds.

  I like these changes and hope it doesnt get tweaked to much as only badly placed drives will get totally punished, oh and as mentioned bunkers are not real at all.
