  JoeGolf1969:

  You know what I'm *** sick and tired of your manipulation around the greens with this *** short game tactics to try and force people to buy better clubs and even when they do they are the same as the starter set or worse. I keep hitting the ball with excilents shots but the ball is moving 2 inches while in the rought with a 40 to 50% lie or a 20 to 30% lie , either one and the ******** that made this game intentionally screw your shots over just to push you into buying better clubs. 3 ******* excilents shots in a row while im 2 inches away from fringe off green with a 40-50% lie and my power was average to my distance or above what I needed and all 3 shots the ball did nothing and did not move. what a joke.

  I just bought this new putter [ spider ] taylor made one and its nothing but a piece of ***. the speed meter is ******* rediculous , the bar moves faster than the starter putter. When reading the definition on the putter before buying it [ spider ] it did nothing but blow smoke up mine and everyone elses ass. We are nothing but a bunch of suckers and WGT you can go **** yourself with your cheating / manipulative  corruption on your game just to try and sucker people in spending money for **** clubs.

  Your game freezes inbetween shots , I have flash players updated to newest release. I suggest you fix this as well becuase you cost players strokes when they are trying to compete in any tournament.

  Sounds like a cry baby to me , Ill ask my 1yo if you can use her nappy.

  "This is bad screen writer logic !! The odds are way more likely to cause players to get mad and never play again and anyone in business knows that."

  So this.

  And by the way, the sticky fringe is a glitch that I read about when I first got here, along with how to combat it.

  And, if you are 20y from the green in two, and take a 10 or 11... I'd find another game.  You aren't good at this one.

  I too kind of get a charge from these posts.  It tells me I have skills, because I am able to play here and successfully shoot decent golf, something the originators of these threads are apparently not capable of.  Reading these is kind of like hanging out with an ugly friend so you look better.  Good for the self-esteem.

  Sure the fringe is sticky but Im learning ways to hit out of it properly. The rough plain sucks but these are PGA courses and thats what the rough is supposed to be. A penalty for not hitting good shots.

  I think there should be more ball bounce from the fringe. It acts like velcro alot of the time but I just need to get the ball on the green.

  Club selection from bad lies is imperitive. Just like real life golf. Im a  7 handicapper IRL and I would NEVER try and swing a PW through 6 inch high grass or deep rough for that matter. Always use punch shots if your lie is worse than 30%. Use a longer, heavier headed club for more swing speed at impact.

  Its an ONLINE computer game. If it were a standalone client/server based game then we could expect more consistent results but we are at the mercy of our ISP's and bandwidth and routing paths and distance from host server; Latency issues and a host of other things that are involved with using the internet too.

  Just learn to deal with a few imperfections and work around them. Learning WHAT NOT TO DO is sometimes better than learning what TO DO!

  My advice to newbies is to forget the golf for awhile and take a couple of hours to search through the forums. Putting tips, pitching and chipping. Find out why people have upgraded and what they have bought.

  The OP bought the disaster that is the Spider putter. A trawl through the forums would have steared him clear of that purchase.

  TBF. I sympathise with him. It his HIGH TIME that WGT removed that putter from the club shop. It's broke - lose it OR offer people that don't like it their full money back. I also swear and curse. Again my putting has gone to shite. Getting better and better and then it seems that nothing drops. 3 consecutive lip outs on STA is kind of dodgy, and not pacy either.

  You do start to think that perhaps you are wasting time on here and WGT are having a laugh at your expense. Nice drive, good approach, 5-10 ft of the hole for a birdie, shot you have played time and time again and yikes a lippy. Okay, maybe I hit that slightly off. Next hole same story. 

   

  Some say VEM doesn't exist and they belittle peple for mentioning it. Others just about state that VEM is part of the construction of the game. 

   

  All I am saying is that BP is the lippy course. When it starts happening at STA when you've put your 100 credits up, then it gets tiresome.

   

  BTW. Nearly 800 ranked rounds - Tour Master 62.64 achieved by playing on all courses. Is it my imagination?

  Yes, IMO, it's just nerves...unless you say you "dinged every shot"  and wound up with a 36.

  TBH. I don't think it's nerves, I think it's boredom with a touch of frustration thrown in. I haven't posted a score worth talking about for a week.

  A real dry run - credits up the wall.

  A couple of weeks back I was posting 29 to 32s 50% of the time. Even a 60 on a 18 all on RGs. It's only 100 credits a pop, nothing to get stressed about.

  Now, a 32 is a good score for me. I am posting 34s to 36s on the same course, same conditions.

  Maybe it's burn out and I need to take a few days off.  Playing the stupid dual game of trying to build up enough XP points to get to 88 and the R11 driver - very nearly there - and dropping the average down to Legend tier.

  The latter is something I have noticed other players struggle with. They are TMs and post lots of low scores and their average gets down to 62-63 and then they take ages to get below that barrier. Not because it's harder to do - but because the 29s suddenly stop coming. That's why I wonder whether WGT puts a little extra obstacle in your way.

  Sometimes this game makes you feel like your playing with a fine samuri sword. At other times an unwieldy baseball bat.

   

  I also need to drop the Daytona that TBF has served me well and switch to the slower meter of the Rossa. I have missed two many putts because I know where I want to hit it but the meter just hops past where I wanted it to stop. Far too random.

  A further comment on that baby. I have read better players comment on people using the feel balls to slow down their meter. There has been the suggestion that those players are not so skilled as they don't have the good reactions. Yet these hypocrites all use the Rossa to slow down the meter when it matters to them. Just an observation.

  But, yes. To compete, I have to dump the putter that I overpaid an upgrade for and buy a cheaper one to improve my game and compete. Not sure how that works exactly.
