**I know i annoy and frustrate many with these posts, so this will definitely be my last one, see disclaimer at bottom**
I know this is meant to be a golf simulator, but it seems the simulator is on AUTOPILOT!
Are we actually playing the game? Or is the game just playing itself? I know I've posted several times about scoring -8 or -9 for front only to struggle on back and get 3 or 4 birdies. Today i play best of hardest only for me to ding drive on hole 1 but ball goes directly for pin not towards fairway and just hugs rough forcing me to par. Hole 2 i aim right to compensate wind, DING shot but shots starts off left of pin and lands in rough.

Same with my approach on #3 i always aim well left of the green (kia #2) to get roll towards hole but shot starts off as if i aimed at pin.

The best is this shot, 15 mph wind at 1 o'clock, i hit 165 iron full spin & full power (161 yards in no wind) see the distance i get...158 yards!!!

All this was happening all front 9 and i only score -2. I decided to play on knowing what was coming, and of course on the back i score brilliantly. The St Andrews par 3 i had 18 mph wind at 10 o'clock, i missed ding on wind side yet land close to pin, same with these shots. All one yarders from pin

Lets not forget my St Andrews round afterwards where i was -10 for front and get deviation all back and only manage -4 for back 9 FROM MASTER TEES!!! Totally lost faith with the integrity of the game when it seems to happen to me and others most of the time, but never to a select few who are winning ready go's daily
I'm sorry for dragging this up all the time but these rounds seem to be the norm at times and makes me wonder if i actually have any say in my scores? yes, i know putting is important and decides rounds, but even those seemed to go in what ever on back compared to front. Whatever is going on with these ready go's it seems to really stick out, and although nothing will change my opinion on ready go's and that they're manipulated, wouldn't it be best if instead of limiting birdies on front and giving us a struggle front 9, and a hot back where you cant do no wrong if WGT spread it all out through out the 18 holes so It doesn't stand out as much.
(i know i annoy a lot with these posts, sorry all, but same way i amuse a lot too, i'm just trying to give a honest theory to what i see playing ready go's, you can all make up your own mind whether i'm just an idiot or on to something)
I know I've said it before, but this is definitely going to be the last post I START going on about how game plays/limits scoring because Its getting boring, i know ready go's are manipulated, But they're never going to change, you're "allowed" to win just the same as you're forced to lose. Its up to yourselves to get to a point in your game play where you can also see It. And although this is my opinion, WGT Is still the best online activity on the internet
So the first person to spot a post I've created from today on same subject will get 3 x sleeves of Nikes, If i then go on to do It again, the person who pulls me up on It will receive any equipment of their choice, 3rd time will be any Nike clothing from Elite collection.
[I agree with everything you have said, I am not afraid to say that I played this game for 3yrs and binned it after i got to frustrated with it, I decided to give it another try after 12 months break and restarted , the game is worse than ever now and I could not give a monkeys about it, I never spent a penny on this game and never will I just fed them crap by doing surveys etc but I even get conned and deceived on those now with them letting you do surveys and then not paying out the credits.
The games are fixed and manipulated and when wgt deny this they are blatant liars. And yes there is also the fact that your own game play and gear can alter your games but I know that the games are fixed and manipulated. ]
