    Why is it ALWAYS WGT's fault when some one plays bad or miss calculates a shot, Or blame the meter for skipping because they were late pressing???

    Yes, i've had 1 or 2 shots go BERZERK due to deviation or wind not effecting shot, but to say it happens all the time and is to blame for bad rounds is ridicilous.  I get it happening maybe once or twice a day, some days not at all.  None of our clubs are 100% precise so even with zero wind and aimed directly at pin there's give and take a yard or 2 for precision at all times.

    Learn the game a bit more, play a round against/with some one who knows the game and they can help and correct your mistakes rather than blaming WGT.

    We hear it daily about people quitting the game, months.years later they are still here

    DENIAL ain't just a river in Egypt.

    One of the posters made a good point, we all screw up in this game.  I'm a legend and I played a CTTH Ready Go yesterday and dunked 2 balls in the water.  I could have thrown my mouse into my computer screen, came on the forum and ranted about how the meter isn't good and the programmers are out to screw me.

    I just chose to accept the fact that on the first shot I didn't allow for enough wind and was a little late on my click.  The second shot hit the stone wall in front of the green and bounced into the water, not WGT's fault, I had a big tailwind and tried to cut it too close.

    In real golf if I hit a perfect shot that hits the pin and bounds into a trap I don't blame the maker of the pins for making them too wide, it's just rub of the green.  In my real golf career I have hit plenty of perfect shots that didn't come off right, was it the club, ball, poorly cut fairway grass, a divot my ball rolled into?

    It just happens and you move on or you spend the rest of your life complaining about it while you forget the time you hit a line drive out of the bunker that hit the pin and dropped in for a birdie.  You don't remember the putt that you hit so hard that it hopped up in the air and fell back in the hole, the shot that hit a rake next to the bunker and didn't go in.

    There is good luck and bad luck in golf, real and virtual.  There are good shots and bad shots as well, we all make them.  It's just a game it isn't life or death.

    We have all experienced internet issues.  At the end of the day, the game is not the blame.  Yes, computerized glitches can happen.  The program is not perfect, that would be impossible.  ... ... As far as the last 2/3 weeks go, my ave dropped from 80 to reaching Master @ 66.  The game is fine, just accept that we don't live in Utopia. Carry on enjoying :)))))

    LOL...the game may have glitches but my bad shots I'll own up to my own screw ups and of course tiering up to a new tier and having to re-adjust. It's all part of the game. Sometimes factors are there that you just didn't notice or take into consideration.
