  Here we go again...-10 through 9 holes on the 18 monthly at kiawah.  When...by no big surprise  ONCE AGAIN! all *** break loose.  those WTF kinda shots  meter going crazy. And low and behold I only shoot -2 on the back. 

  And what do I see...the same players over and over at the top of the leaderboard. WGT, would you please let me know what my best score is limited too before I waste my time playing in a tournamet.  This *** is really pissing me off. It has been happening many times.  I am not your average player with no rounds played...I have invested money and time.

  I had a little rant about this a few months back and Pizza informed me that as you get more & more under par the random deviation increases so you gotta be more on your game.

  Hi

  Thats explains a lot to me. I  always feel, when I play 18 holes, that I have to much

  more focus and concentrate on the last 4-5 holes. Mainly when you at that point are

  well under par.

  I usually play much better on the back 9 on almost every course, especially the final 3 or 4 holes. But I guess that's what happens when you're nowhere near being -10 on the front 9 ;-)

  My point is Dazza, is you can be on your game and in the zone,and if your playing well enough to be -9 on the front nine , and WGT steps in with their antics there is nothing you can do about it to be on top of your game.

  You already are in the zone, your doing nothing different on the back nine to make you mess up. You can't counter what you don't know their going to do. Like slowing down a green, increasing the wind or decreasing, having the ball go 8-10 yards off what you aimed.

  Their messing with the game way too much, to where players are getting fed up and leaving 

  P. S. Don't none of you guys believe for one min.that WGT does not influence the game.  THEY MESS WITH THE GAME I would bet the farm on it

  i agree with this thread and i dont really care if anyone says that game play doesnt change because ive seen it right in front of me. Shots falling short,wind not doing what it should and so on. Of course wgt deny it but they are only kidding themselves,its really time for them to wake up like i said in an email to them recently we would hate to see yet another failed business venture

  Happened to me only this morning, playing a CC tourney at Kiawah, on the back nine, had 135 to the pin, 2mph wind and no elevation to consider, R11 iron was a 9 iron, which is 135, aimed the cursor over the flag and hole and fired...'ding', ball went 15 yards right and i missed the putt........this stuff occurrs!!

  DAZZA501:

  I had a little rant about this a few months back and Pizza informed me that as you get more & more under par the random deviation increases so you gotta be more on your game.

  This I call "messing with the game"!

  Was it in the forum or by PM? I'd like to see this first-hand...
