    1. Game Connection Issues
    2. Misleading putting grids
    3. Misleading winds
    4. Misleading distances
    5. Players Quitting
    6. If we can't change golf balls during game play How can WGT take premium golf balls away during important tournaments or regular game play.
    7. PUTTING - How can a ball miss the cup as it rolls past the hole it turns straight down from the hole. So how can the 2nd putt still be on a extreme slope?( side to side I can see ) OR the first putt is UPHILL and misses and then passes the cup and the 2nd putt be still be UPHILL?
    8. Invisible Barriers - I've hit these invisible barriers mostly while putting. Just before the ball drop in the hole it bounces back and stops. just like the ball hi something. I happens 1.0 or less before the hole.
    9.  Driving off the tee or off the fairway my ball hit something and shot off wildly  left or right.
    10.  I have watch players hit the fairway or green and "splash the ball hits water" and counts as a ball in water 1 shot penalty.

    1. Possibly your PC. Stack the odds in your favour and do what you can to help

    2. Where? Have you tried a reverse view in chip mode?

    3. Taking into considerations tree cover and fairway elevation?

    4. Not sure I have experienced that, please elaborate.

    5. Oh well, thems the breaks.

    6. Not legal in real golf WGT give you an option to replenish before running out.

    7. Might have something to do with your No2.

    8. Have never experienced this personally

    9. Save the replay , view it from all cameras, your elusive tree branch or Sasquatch will become apparent.

    10. Bad bounce? I have been there.

    We all have seen weird things on this game but seems to me this is whining and a little over exaggerating . There is no wall that bounces your putt back and stops....

    1. 90 of all disconnections are on the users end. If they were on our end, then they would involve mass disconnections at any given time. Do they happen, of course. As with anything internet related, disconnections happen but of course we try to minimize it as much as possible.

    2. there are 3 ways to read the putts: ball view, hole view, chipper view. After comparing all 3, one can make judgement on the movement. Is it 100% exact, no it is not. Nor, is anything in real life is exact, so best way is to take written or mental notes as putt will behave the same way from the same spot, so when you end up there again, you can refer to it.

    3. Winds are not misleading but you are likely misreading the angles, since wind from tee is not the same wind than at the hole. That happens due to distance changes and angle of approach changes, so best way is to view both views and evaluate. If you are playing with someone else, i would also look at their shot and make judgement from it too.

    4. Do you have a concrete example of this?

    5. Each player is allowed to disconnect anytime they want. Do I like it when people disconnect on me, no, but there are many circumstances that may come up, so I understand and finish my round.

    6. That is against the golf rules You have to finish with the same ball you start. Each ball has a durability meter on the bottom right corner. I also check # of balls I have left before starting each round to make sure I have enough.

    7. Many holes on famous courses are located in tricky spots often situated on slopes or in lowest parts of the green.  Speed and slope has a big effect in it.

    8. Hi, do you have a replay of this so we can check>?

    9. for example?> I need to see a replay to make a judgment.

    10. I need to see a replay as well.

    Fundamentally this is just a very good game. If the OP ever fancied a round hit me up and happy to discuss on the way round in a nice way. Can't agree with the post by the OP......................

    I know how to do the regular and reverse view, but how do you get the 3 views?

    Thanks for your help.

    Switch to a chip or pitch shot when you're on the green. You'll be able to move the entire grid with the aimer and see more than you do with just the 2 putting views.

    Care to elaborate? Can the direction (and maybe the speed) be different on the green, or do you simply mean that some camera angles is better than others and combining more than one view, is best?
