  So frustrated lately that i have 2 post

  What is it with all these lip outs, i dont mind missing a bad putt, but when i know its bang on line & pace, then last millisecond it hits edge(even tho 90% of ball is still inside the cup) n shoots further away than where i started from??

  If its a "vem, deviation, realistic thing" then fine...but its funny how its more often on a birdie putt, is it to keep the scores up for realism ??

  All i know is that its doin me hed in & the 2 or 3 decent shots i hit 2 leave that birdie chance mean jacksh*t  nemore when i finish up with bogie

  Q :- ((((

  Aint that the truth. I can knock em in from 30 feet for par, but miss them from 6 feet for bird, unreal.

  Nuthin' strange about it folks, it's just good ol' WGT messin' with your game, usually accompanied by the "realism" of  ball movement that stutters more than Porky Pig as it veers away from where you aimed it. Sad to say , in their attempts to combat cheat programs, WGT once again misses the mark and penalizes honest players. Solution ?Wake up & hire some damn cheaters to do your programming, WGT.

  I think I have found a work around for the lip out problem.... putt the ball into the hole instead of missing. 

  Feel free to comment, I welcome the debate that all revolutionary ideas create...

  Thanks for that very insightful tip Paul. I'm sure the minions that have no issue with how the game plays will put it to good use. However, for the delusional few ( such as myself ) who have met with "the man behind the curtain", we'd prefer he keep his hands to himself, and leave our game alone.

  All great ideas get immediately dismissed, try it for a few days then get back to me.

  I'm just foolin' around, if only it was that simple.

  No lip-out problems here. I'm extremely adept at missing the hole completely when I putt. :)

  The lip out problem has increased recently, maybe? coinciding with the new tiers, champion and tour champion. I am now experiencing a minimum of one a round. I check the replay after and a number are full ball in side the cup lip outs which seems strange. I don't get angry. I just send witty comments, such as, I'm glad that you work for WGT and not for Boeing
