Latest Feature Requests - Proposal for WGTIcon and WGT

  Here's one that has been mentioned before but probably never seriously considered by WGT.

  Anyone who's played real golf knows that playing a shot with 100% power has a very high chance of going wrong.  How about if the last 10% of the meter was red and going into that region instantly dropped all forgiveness from your clubs?  Precision stays but forgiveness is gone.  Miss the ding and you're in trouble, hit it and you're in the same place you would be if you played that shot right now.

  This wouldn't apply to putters, we have the option of using a longer meter so a bit pointless.

  It might help make the scores a bit more realistic and would bring a very welcome risk factor into the game.  At the moment we can hit a 3 iron well over 230 yards and unless the ding is well and truly missed the ball is still going to land close to where we aimed.

  I'm far from being one of the top players here but I curse myself when the ball lands more than 3 yards from the hole.  Tiger Woods would be delighted most of the time.  Realistic?  I think not.

  Please can the disconnect time be increased for skins games.

  150 seconds doesn't seem fait when it's 300 seconds for normal stroke play plus there's way more at stake.

  Thanks

  Morgies

  To add to this .. I've  played some PRACTISE skins and guess what ... The disconnect time is 300 seconds.

  WGT ... Please explain why in a skins challenge the disconnect time is 150 seconds.

  Could we have the option where the wind is from a constant direction for the entir round? So, for example, on The Old Course if the wind is from the right on the first it is from the right (albeit slightly into gradually as your direction of play changes) for the next 6 as well then shift to being from the left (roughly) for the 8th and 9th.

   

  Also some area of Out of Bounds seem unfair as, in real life, on that course it is a perfectly acceptable area to put you ball (especially true on The Old Course when there is often lots of fairway to your left)

   

  Many thanks

  I dunno if this has been mentioned before, but with all the recent changes on WGT, new features, courses and challenges etc, don't you think it a bit odd that no new CTTH putting challenges were added to the games?  

  I'm bored hitting the same putts, I've tried them all at every speed many times. Any chance of some more putting variations?  There's plenty of pitching CTTH tournaments, why not more of putting? Also, why are the putting Blitz's always at tournament speed for all tiers?

  I see in Alanti's first post the ___ Option to Disable the Auto Caddy ___ is listed.
  
  Please, please, please WGTAlex or the powers that be. PLEASE add this to the _ Player Suggestion List.
  
  Can't tell you how many time I've putted just off the green, on the fringe, and I hit the putt 20 feet too far because the caddy determined I needed the 100 foot scale. I try to be aware of this but I get so involved in the shot I forget sometimes.
  
  Other times, and I do catch it, but the caddy chooses chip when I'm in the rough 20 feet from the edge of the green. Seems the auto caddy does pretty good on long shots, but anything on or around the green is usually messed up.
  
  Please give us the option to turn the auto caddy off permanently. I wouldn't mind having to choose every club for every shot, along with changing the putter scale.
  
  Thank You.

  The auto caddy is the worst feature on WGT imo..If he-she was a real caddy they would have been fired long ago, and probably would never be able to find a job with them stupid calls. Time to fire the auto caddy..Mr WGT

  Great idea...Something that is like a WGT Nation member but with more avatar options, discounted equipment etc...  

  Here's another simple idea too.... what about selling a dozen golf balls at a discounted  rate as opposed to just having the option to buy a sleeve or multiple sleeves without any discount at all.   I never buy sleeves in golf.... especially at the course.  There are many products already in the Pro Shop that offer savings when multiples are purchased.  It would be nice to see the same option with all of the golf balls.   Just keepin' it eal
