    You pay $10 to enter a ready go, you expect to have a fair normal chance to do well, i've just witnessed the equivalent of playing black jacks in a casino and the dealer has taken all the face cards out especially for you.  Having witnessed this FRAUD round of golf, no way am i wasting another $ on this "FIXED", score limitation, rigged outcome golf game. I might as well pull $10 out and open front door and throw it in the wind and hope it blows back into my pocket thats the equivelant of what i saw.

    Hole #3 at St Andrews, i land within 5 feet, nice FLAT part of green, been here hundreds pf times, i ding putt but it goes over a cm right, similar to missing by halfway on meter.  And the proof its a WGT BUM SHOT as the replay (i always watch to see what went wrong) when you want reverse view its in HELICOPTER VIEW and all you can see is the front view which shows it lipping the hole quite near, compared to the reverse view when putting was WAY WIDE.  (take note, DUFF PUTT = NEVER A REVERSE VIEW, ONLY HELICOPTER VIEW, includes breaks you know should effect shots, but DONT, the helicopter view takes away the proof of the usual reverse view which coincidently IS ALWAYS there if you mess up the putt yourself, i.e come up short or press early/late,)

    Hole #4, 17 mph left to right wind, i aim way, way left, ding shot but the ball starts off 2 YARDS left of pin, not where i moved aim marker and i'm left with a chip off green to the right!

    Hole #8 ,15 mph left to right wind, another dinged shot, but my ball lands on my aim point.  WIND GONE! If its ZERO SHOW IT AS ZERO, not 15

    Hole #9 20 mph wind at 12 o'clock, my full power drive goes 290 yards!

    Hole #11 13 mph headwind, 195 iron with 3/4 spin just about clears the front bunker at 164 yards, YOU DO THE MATH!

    Hole #13 Another easy peasy flat putt which aimed at cup AND DINGED leaves club face RIGHT!

    Hole #14 20 yard flop shot with full spin goes 14 yards in 20 mph headwind!!!!!!

    Hole #15 (this made me laugh!) 100 to pin, i use nearly full spin on 100 yard wedge, find the 91 yard avatar movement ball lands near pin on 100 yards, then rolls forward for 12 yards just like there's loads of topspin, ball landed near pin where there is no hill to bounce either, instead of back spin ball zoomed forwards!!!

    Hole #16 IN STITCHES LAUGHING BY NOW! 16 mph tailwind, aim RIGHT side of fairway, quite near out of bounds, DING DRIVE, ball fly's left straight for bunker.  LOOKED LIKE A AUTO SHOT TO ME!

    Hole #18 48 yards to pin, SIDE WIND, use 50 yard punch shot, underhit slightly, NO SPIN, lands near pin and ZOOMS BACK like full spin to edge of green!!

    Are you having a laugh!  Because i sure was after the anger had gone in witnessing one of the most comical NOT IN MY CONTROL rounds i ever saw on this game, I had an incl-in this game was "rigged" SEEN MY PROOF!

    Oh, a side note, $3 Ready go at Olympic exactly the same, same with $2 At best of hardest.  Coincidence that 4 Mondays in succession, all my ready go's have been exactly the same?  I could put PC off now NOT PLAY AGAIN, enter same tournament tomorrow and game will be normal again.Trouble is i wont log on tomorrow though because that round has shown me that no matter how good you play, and how much you hit ding in a round the round is still decided by WGT's score limitation.  Yet tomorrow i could miss ding every shot (by loads) miss ding on break side of putts (should easily go wide) yet you might score a 56 and play the worst in ages (except game makes you think you've played well because ITS PLAYING YOU!!!!)

    You are hitting a virtual ball into a virtual hole, virtually anything can happen.

    nanstar:
    virtually anything can happen.

    Exactly, anything does happen, shots that SHOULDN'T happen normally happen to ruin your round, when you know its wrong, and same shot in another round REACTS NORMALLY, so if thats not "score limitation" what is??

    We all know our 80 yard wedge should go 84+ yards in 10 mph tailwind, and we calculate our shots for this, but when that same wedge goes 77 yards in same conditions that we know should get you 84 yards then the game is just placing our ball any where randomly and it COSTS US when we've spent $10 on a tournament where the same shot yesterday landed on 84 yards.

    Or that FLAT putt we've played 100+ times suddenly fly's right out of the blue, all it does is prove to me that on some holes, no matter how well you play them, the game's got a "set limit" on that hole, i.e you wont do better than par no matter how hard you try.  

    How is this EQUAL when we've all paid the same for a tournament yet i know for a fact there will be 20% of the competitors who will get "hot" rounds where you could miss ding by loads yet still ball will go straight and land within 2 yards whilst the rest of us have to put up with rounds from hell which seem totally WRONG and ab-normal.  All rounds should be "deviation interferance free" or same for ALL!

    FRAUD is a strong word, surely ALL players will encounter these SAME obstacles you mention..?

    Stay classy.

    If there's going to be a pool on whether or not you play another RG, I'd like some of that action.

    Thanks

    It's just payback for the Ryder cup. I said yesterday that VEM will come down on Europe with a fury now. Best to change your flag to something else for a while. I just hope I will ever play that good to have the limitation put on my score. Hang in there.

    I requested this facility, but the reply was " we have no intention of removing the human element from the game" or words to that effect

    You might have to take into consideration that the greensman could of mown the lawn at a different angle. Hence the shift in your putting line..!

    lol... sorry..

    eta:  Are you consdring where the ball lands, it could be higher ground, then it would drop shorter, and vise-versa..!

     

    my 2p 

    Oh..  Hi all BTW
