    Nice 1 WGT staff for taking every one's groans about the "boaring" last months ready go's and giving us plenty of options for fun, enjoyable months worth of tournaments.

    And 2nd point, I entered $3 Olympic club ready go and I would have say 13 mph headwind on #1, i missed ding by a fraction and ball sailed 10 yards left.  This happened on several holes where a missed ding even opposite to wind would make ball have no effect by the wind and land way wide.  Yet, in Kiawah ready go, I had 12 mph left to right wind, i missed ding by a fraction ON WIND SIDE, yet my ball didn't seem to get effected much and i still landed close.  Its obvious that forgiveness on clubs varies with different ready go's, but is it just the individuals forgiveness on clubs which lowers, or increases or is it just that ready go, every one will have lower precision in Olympic or maybe my clubs forgiveness lowered because i was getting a "tough" round but some one else who's playing same ready go might get a "hot" round so their forgiveness might actually increase a bit??

    And on the subjects of Ready Go's, the new pin at Kiawah #15 is virtually impossible to get a decent putting view.  Either you get a tiny avatar and a diagonal putt where you cant really read the break or if you are a bit past the pin the hill to the green obscures your view or above pin your avatar is small and aim box blocks view, and even the break is wrong. So all you can use is front view, and does any one really use front view to putt?

    I agee, this deviation, VEM crap is getting out of hand.

    I just had this RUBBISH in the BOF RG, I was aiming for the left edge of the path, between the bunkers and water with almost full top spin hoping to roll onto the green. So how the hell after I dinged my shot did it end up in the water?

    WGT if you guys are that hard up for balls, just send me a message and I'll buy you guys a sleeve, but don't screw rounds up like this please.

    I have to agree with both you on this one but sad to say  a mod will come in here and say wgt has nothing to do with this and it was on our ends. But next time i get a random 10 extra yards out my 8 iron with a headwind or my 3 wood goes 225 with a cross wind ill just stop playing ready goes and just do alts like i use to.

    This *** is getting ridiculous. We put all this work and dedication into your game and you continue to *** with our games. If I make a bad shot, then it's my fault. When I hit the ding or a club's distance goes all out of whack, it's your fault. Just take the blame, or fix the game.

    I agree, but can't believe you guys think WGT is going to come in here and say squat.  Lmao.

    I'm curious if this has happened to anyone else lately with all these strange goings on. I've had it happen at least 3 or 4 times in the last week or so that I can think of.

    You hit 6 iron 1/2 backspin 7mph side wind that should go about 162-163 but ends up going like 152 or 153 and leaves a 35 ft bending putt. But incredibly the putt seems to never leave it's line and goes directly in the middle. Quite amazing. It's like the game knows it screwed you so it lets you make the long putt! lmao

    Hi

    My biggest problem is my 7 and 8 iron. Very hard to find the right lenght with these

    irons. For example Cabo hole 10 135 to pin sidewind 11 , I give it 135 80% backspin

    and it goes 138.

    ^^^^^ This

    I have to say I have made some really wonderful putts lately - but for the same reason.  Shot hit to go 194 ends up at 182 (with a slightly helping crosswind!).  I was expecting a new set of high end irons because the forgiveness seems to have been stripped from the R11 irons completely (ie - slight miss ding right 1/16 of an inch and ball travels right into a right to left wind and ends up 9-10 yards right of pin).  However, I am starting to think that this may have been done just to try to remove all doubt that "ding is king" to promote more people to buy the $6.00 balls.  I just figure that everyone is having to deal with the same issues though so just focus on the next shot and try to make the best of it.

    Is this the random deviation ?   ...  i can't take a trick at the moment the game has changed a great deal , as Buggyyy said if you hit a shot and you know it should be next to the flag , and then you end up 12 yrds away that is just crap WGT .

    dflop  !
