Nice Job...But A Few Observations....

   First, I was shooting anywhere from  -2 to +1 on the front nine of Kiawah. Now I'm averaging +4!!!

  Is it me or is finding the ball in flight after hitting more difficult now?

  Are the greens faster? Regardless of the dot speed, it just seems that the greens are faster?

  I noticed faster wind speeds, but not affecting my shots???

  I'm averaging about +9 for 18 after a couple rounds... stinky!!!

  Where is my ball in flight on the back 9... catch a glimpse once in a while...

  My first 18....1 over...

  My first skill at Wolf Creek 370 somethin... trying to forget

  Is the power bar a little jumpy or is it just my eyes

  Great update that will most likely get better with time

  Enjoy your play

  Back nine is more difficult. It is harder to pick up the ball in flight. I'm finding that the greens don't hold short irons like the front nine did. The wind does affect my shots, especially when driving into a 11mph head wind. I've hit perfect tee shots that only go 209. #10 plays longer on the approach shot. It's easy to come up short in the sand. #18 is ridiculous. I three putted from 61ft and shot 32. The other thing I've noticed is that the penalty for missing the perfect spot is very inconsistent.

  Hey boys did you notice the back nine has very little obstructions  from wind! I love it.. it really makes the game more difficult and as for the ball flight not showing up on the back 9 ? come on fella's lets all say THANK YOU and play on ! The greens are really protected as well as the fairways they are very tight.

  I'm not complaining about the lack of sight, just observing... On my knees bowing...

  THANK YOU....

  Really enjoying the new gameplay and challenge.

  Watching the average increase and trying to bring mine back down.

  Hope everyone is enjoying the new face of WGT

  Enjoy your play

  they updated the greens to be firmer and faster and hold irons closer to how they really would for most people with the type of clubs you are playin. I like it alot. My first go round i shot E but second time I shot a 67. Just putt a bit slower is all. Good work, lovin the game even more

  Even more realistic than before. Brings a whole new skill into play.

  Say goodbye to console golf games, they don't stand a chance

  At least that's my opinion.

  Enjoy your play

  Another thing is backspin. When does it work and when doesn't it work?

   I have looked at all the options while playing and there is a button missing in the game: EASY BUTTON

  Need your drives down the center and maximum distance: easy button

  Need your second shot to hit the green and roll to 2 feet: easy button

  Need the wind to not blow: easy button

  Need every putt to fall no matter the distance or break: easy button

  Now after you get done laughing we all need to go practice and let's all get better than what we are right now!!

  JUST WONDERING IF THE NEW BACK 9 WILL EVER GO TO MULTIPLAYER? INSTEAD OF SINGLE PLAY OPTION. THANKS.(ENJOYING THE CHANGES)
