  Wgt should start a New Section just for people who want to vent their anger and frustration at anything about the game.....lol

  Wouldn't that be good......  Just wondering what we could call the new section?

  I don't mind the bitchin....  I get a good laugh at some of the posts and as I've done in the past...  It's just a way to let out the anger we have after playing the game when things go strange

  I agree Don't get me wrong im guilty of it sometimes too. But there are more anger about the shot clock than anything else that I can see.  If you going to gripe about a 90 sec shot clock then don't enter a 90 sec game. G to the 60 or 30 second games or better yet start your own game.

   Reminds me of my ex she only had one annoying habit

  BREATHING!!!!!!!!!

  Don't call it bitching.
  
  It's like if you were to get married and you paid for everything including the wedding and your wife never gave you any punani the entire marriage. it's not "oh well, haystacks and *** happens"
  
  False, these people make hundreds of thousands of dollars that we pay them. There should always been a certain level of standards met at all times.

  Agreed, For some reason i have been having a lot of inconsistent shots. For example hitting into 10mph wind hitting 175 and getting 123 difference doesn't make 10. Today it started on the 4th tee like it does when the VEM kicks ini was par until then an after that bogeys after bogeys on ridiculous shot distances. I felt .like some one else was playing my game. You might call it "bitching" I call it harassment.

  I started this game on the 28th of June and watched all the training videos that tell you how to play this course. Did all the things they said to do and moved from Hack to Master in 6 weeks. Then things changed. I f I'm just a millimeter away of the ding , the ball goes way off in that direction. I am having meter jitter and slides by that i didn't have before.

  WGT, why do you do that to me. i would like a response from a legitimate person from WGT to tell me why does my ball not go where i hit it. Why does it fall way short of my hit or take off, with no wind  and roll 50 yrds past the flag. i would think a Virtual Game is programmed to give a certain response to a certain action and do that always until a programmer changes it.

  It seems to me that when a ball is near time to go, the consistency is not there as a sign that it's time to buy more balls. Now if thats not programmed in it wouldn't happen.  So are there other situations programmed to happen and do they happen to all the people playing on line or just the ones who complain.

  I'm new here but my husband was  a master level and one of the first to be invited as a wgt nation member when he was a Tour Pro. he loved the game as i have but when the VEM went into the switching module, it ruined the game for him and he quit for 3 months.

  he helped me to get through the tiers faster with what he learned and calculations he used and i found them to work very well or i wouldn't be a Master player by now. Suddenly things changed and calc's didn't work and it 's become a hit and hope game. i wish you would remove what ever you have on me and let me play the game I know. if this is the way WGT wants to treat their new people, then i guess i should quit like others have. To bad, this game is a lot of fun and a great way to make new friends.

  Don't call this section a "Bitching " section, I'd like to suggest calling it "Here's the Problem WGT, Fix it please".

  Finally, you have hit the nail on he head. WGT gets away with this by saying anybody can play for free, they need not spend any money. What a lot of crap. It has also appeared to me that if I *** to much my game shots appear to get even worse. Yesterday, I had a 340 yd.plus drive. I used my G20 driver and hit the ding right on. The ball went 58 yds. Yes, I have been a real fool and have spent hundreds of dollars.

  TP to Master is a tee box jump...where you were hitting wedges before to a hole, you are probably hitting 7 and 8 irons, where you were hitting 7 and 8 irons before, now you're hitting longer (3-5 irons) shots...coupled with the fact you are still using level 15 irons, the margin for error is very small.

  The level 59 pings would suit your game much better, as would the level 41/42 ping wedges.

  Your driver and 3 wood should be upgraded as well, but probably not causing you many issues right now.

  Sorry , i just went through the same situation,all last week ,game error after game error, Iwas playin 18 at best of par 5's ..63 going to 16 ,got the boot,game canceled ,it is a waste of ball time and yes i was pissed,but wadda ya do ,and my testies are fine not me in photo..LOL Anyhoo take care and be safe..

   I went through that awhile back . Every time the game froze up , and I got the error message , I wrote it down , and contacted WGT customer support . In every case , I supplied time and date , in detail . In return WGT would give me a sleeve of balls , for replacement . So as long as you keep a record of this happening , WGT will treat you fairly . Hope this helps . Happy Swinging :-)

  I'm new to WGT as of the 28th of June and am a Master level. I don't understand why I get kicked of three times in a game by WGT and then they tell me I'm disqualified for leaving the game 3 times.

  I also assume when  you get to Master level every shot is inconsistent  to how hard it was hit. Green speeds are not as they say and wind sometimes has no effect on the balls travel. Yesterday I was 38 yrds from the flag over a pond with 10 mph tail wind backing me up. I hit 30 on my Cleveland wedge and it went 15 and in the water. A brand new Callaway ball., so I tried again and hit 38 and the ball went up, hit the wall and bounced into the water. So 2 Brand new Callaway  balls lost to faulty reactions to my swing. Now I don't know if this normal in this game but it seems a bit extreme to me to loose 2 balls that quick when they both were hit correctly.

  I have heard about a VEM so I googled it and found that it alters the response in a virtual game to what ever the programmer wants it to do. Now I am assuming WGT is the programmer, so that would mean in purpose they mess up a reaction to a swing to make me think I did something wrong or maybe I need to invest in better clubs and balls. Well my better clubs and balls got me from a Hack to a Master in a short time but now for some reason they don't respond the same way all the time. 

  See I'm a golfer and play  twice a week and carry a 4 handicap so I know where the ball should go in any condition. If this is what WGT intends to do, to mix it up then maybe I need to go away and see if it changes sometime.

  I loved this game when I first started and as I was playing and adding friends. I was hearing the same comments from them and then some were just saying it only a game. I understand it's only a game but if thats it,  then WGT needs to advertise it that way. Maybe they need to include that after a while if you don't spend money  with them, then they will cause problems to happen with your game.

    I hope not but I know, I'm not having as much fun as I did. So WGT please tell me what I need to do. But don't tell me I need better clubs and balls or a new computer or half a dozen other things you have told other people to do to get compatible with your game. I think you need to get compatible to us.

  Sorry i had t say these things but I want to continue enjoying  this game and getting others to come on as well, but if it remains this way i can't see doing any of this.
