    The thing I find most amusing is that there must only be a hundred or so people on here, because I see the same 12 - 15 constant complainers every thread that has to do with how badly they have it.  But when I went through the active lists on WGT members I counted hundreds and quit counting, I have come to the conclusion that these are the ones that feel they should be tour legends hitting in the high 40's low 50's with regularity and because they can't the game is rigged and WGT is out to get them.  Somedays I score good, some not so good and some days I am totally frustrated but I do not blame the game, it's me, sorry just the way I see it.  When I first started I thought there was no way these people could score 29, let alone 25 without cheating, but the longer I played it as with every game (it is not real golf) there are tricks you have to learn.  If you keep hitting the same shot in the same spot every time, yup, you will get the same results.  I lost a bunch of balls when I first started and felt that the game was rigged to take your balls, but with experience I learned ways to keep them inbounds and out of the water, though I still every now and then lose a ball, but 99% of the time I know as soon as I hit, say goodbye ball, not the game but my own stupidity cause I knew better.  Oh well, this is long enough, let the negativity begin by the usual 12 - 15 and you know who you are, lol!!!!

    I keep telling myself, renniw you suck at this game. Is that complaining? I was just 5 under at Kia back 9, my drive on 17 hit the flag stick and bounced back into the lake. That's because I suck, no complaints from me.

    Yes , it is just a game , one that I really enjoy playing . I would also like to play some ready go's ,maybe win some credits , but when I look at some of the leaderboards all I see are cheaters / retreads / multiaccounts - whatever u call them - coming in first ! Seriously , how can someone make it to Master in 1 month ? With just 50 ranked rounds ? Very fishy .

    I put alot of time and effort trying to improve , reading all I can to understand this game , and spending my hard earned money on equipement , and all I am asking for is a level playing field . Am I missing something ? Please enlighten me if so .....

    What the hell else would we have to read if it weren't for all the belly-aching?

    Renniw52,

     

    The first time I hit the flag stick and had the ball bounce 45 yds away. I was really angry at the game. I didn't think there was anyway that this could happen in real life.

    I then watched a National Junior Golf Tournament and saw a ball hit the back of the hole bounce out and fly 20 yd into the water in front of the green. It didn't even hit the flag stick.  It took them 5 minutes to fix the hole and the girl took her drop without complaint and put the ball 4 ft from the hole to get her bogie.  Next day she hit the ball on the same hole 2 ft away for the birdie and joked that she had learned her lesson the day before.

    Point is just because we don't believe it is realistic, it is because we have not seen it all.
