    Joke might sound a bit harsh, but playing ready go U.L earlier, having a decent round until i land in 25% rough 14 yards right side of pin at St Andrews #17 (pin at back of green).  lie is green but with pretty quick moving dots left to right.  I use 25 foot pitch shot and end up aiming LEFT side of bunker (20 yards left of pin!!!!) Ball goes straight towards pin but only travells 11 yards!!!!

    COME ON WGT, the Uneven lies need to be lighter in these positions, not effect shot 10 times more severe.  You're trying to make game more realistic???  You dont see pro's having to pitch in a completely different direction & only for ball to travel a few yards on top.

    While I'm at it, a 120 pw with no spin on #18 should NOT land on 75 yards with a tiny bit of moving dots.  Thats whats so frustrating about these uneven lies at present, and its just an excuse for WGT to bum shots whenever they feel like It, because on #15 I had twice as severe lie as I did on #18 played similar shot and landed within 4 yards, where a LESS SEVERE LIE gets effected by 50 yards.........COMICAL..............................................

    New tournament, new uneven lies MADNESS.

    How on hole #13 yesterday i had slight uneven lie right to left, and although i aimed 10ish yards right to compensate i still ended up 15 yards LEFT but today I had similar approach with MORE SEVERE lie, and although i had aimed 10+ yards right to compensate today i end up off the green right.  Uneven lies are as consistent as hitting ding whilst using your nose & blindfolded, and just one big excuse by WGT to be able to make shots go where they please.  PLEASE, please either sort them out a bit or keep them as a practice plaything.

    I've played Uneven lies twice since months ago, both times in the Uneven lies ready go, BOTH TIMES I've finished tied 1st.  Practice is for wimps..LOL

    This sums uneven lies up:

    So a couple of shots didn't go your way.  We can only control preparation and execution. The only thing flawed had to be in preparation or execution of the shots. Notice how nice I said it's your fault without coming right out and saying it's your fault?  lol
