    played a quick 2 x 9-hole rounds tday for 1st time in over 2 mnths i think .. back 9 Best of Famous & front on Andy's .. 2 x 30's .. threw away a 29 on Andy's by bogeying 4th hole .. meh, whatever .. just wanted to see if i can still pull off 2yd approaches ..

    was kinda fun being away & putting in a few holes .. 

    haven't looked into the forums much, but seems like more of the same old .. bitching & moaning 'bout the same old shyte .. lol

    anything new lately that may point towards the positive ?

    Good to see you around Chris. I've been wondering what happened to ya. I'd say you making a showing is as positive as anything else going on around here.

    Hang...

    Hi Chris,  

    Lot's of positive things going on....there are now 3...yes...count them---3 Golf Channel avatars and a new shot pal to help you determine exactly how far back on your bar 50% is....Someone hacked the Holly Sonders avatar and it now comes with  stripper pole.

    Several players have left forever...until the next day.  A few people have joined and opened up a brand new WGT account for only the 3rd or 4th time.

    There has not been a single meter glitch for anyone in the entire game since the last one.

    In a lovely way to encourage more play, alt shot defaults to 18 holes rather than 9.

    And finally...SSDD

    Welcome back my friend.

    Yes, I have something positive to say. Even though, WGT has a great concept behind their product, their programming positively has much to be desired. And how these Tour Legends  and Legends can make such low scores with the meters jumping around like a Mexican bean or moving through the scale at light speed is beyond me. Being a retired person, I have played several times a day since 11/2011. And yet, I haven't found any form of consistency or rhyme and reason within the courses' programming. It sometimes appears as if WGT controls each shot with some magical wand or glitch if you will. It has become profoundly frustrating, never knowing where my shot will end up, even after playing the same shot time and time again. I can accept the fact that I was made a Master long before I should have become one or that I am bested by a better player. Or that many of the rules are a secret, which is strange to say the least. Or that some players mysteriously claim to have solve their meter problems, after I have followed all of WGT suggestions with little result. Or that we play the same old tired courses over and over again. Or that the problems at WGT appear to fall on deaf ears. But I do have a hard time accepting the wide range of inconsistency in determining the wind, the lies, and the accuracy in the distance of the clubs and balls. The essence of maintaining a successful business enterprise is in keeping your old customers, while attracting new ones, a concept WGT seems to ignore.

    Welcome back Chris. Thought you needed a VEM vacation lol. And what moaning and bitching goes on in here? All positive posts normally LOL. And having read Ducatis post has just made my day!

    Ok there are some.....no a lot a negative posts like ^^^^^ but I try and be selective on what posts I can be bothered reading now.

    And nice shooting after a break.As Ducati pointed out, nothing new to get excited about (except the saucy Avatar he mentioned) but hey, Merion will soon be here for stroke play.
