  Wish I was good enough for WGT to pick on me.

  Sad to say and from it coming from me you may find it weird. But wgt has messed with the game i have almost perfected my short game to place well which it should be but at the same time if i miss the ding by a pixel in low winds i should not miss the green by 13 yards. Seems some are able to post amazing rounds with no wds over and over again i wish i knew the secret.

  I agree with this. I mentioned on another thread that I thought misses of the ding were being punished more than in the past. I'm okay with that, if thats the same for everyone.

  The logical conclusion to what you're saying is that we have some players who never miss the ding. at least never miss the ding on the approach shot.

  Saying that, I have seen dinged shots with a dead straight wind deviate somewhat from line.

  Its not sad Brandon. Any player that is half decent at this game knows that the playing conditions are not the same for all.

  No secret either.... some get non manipulated rounds....some get molested. lol

  Sound a little like CIB...lmao! Hate to say it but..... Chris has been correct all along. The game for me has changed since last downtime. I'm struggling at the moment to break 30. Before i could break 30 easy on any course in any conditions.

  Shite right now i can't get a dinged shot to land closer than 4 or 5 yards of the pin. If i miss the ding i miss the green. lol. Nice forgiving irons i have...hey?

  The putting too is not right at the moment.

  Bottom line this is Lotto Golf, you either are one of the lucky ones...,, or not.

  I could play a RG today and shoot 26....comeback tomorrow and shoot 32. Not because i missed shots either, because that is the way the game is playing of late.

  It is what is it.   And.......sadly it is BS!!    :-)

     Agreed. Totally agreed. I gave up playing the ready go's about 2 months ago and have been playing almost nothing other than no wind / low wind rounds. I play the same course over and over and over in the same no / low wind conditions trying to figure out what the problem is.

     I don't have that many rounds under my belt so I can't really complain, but even with repetition, I'm finding it really difficult to find consistency...

  I still love this game but I can not help but see myself in agreement with the finding, playing conditions remain variable because the variable is to make a difference on a win or not.

  Drives, approaches and putting session is no longer being counted but fortunately there is still someone who can close with a 27 in heavy wind conditions and championship green: that pushes me to try to close at least one a day, then it does not matter to get a platinum trophy with a 27, doesn't metter.

  Playing conditions are playing different for sure.  Wedges going way past the pin, dropping way short..... scratching my head thinking...  what the....

  Strange things like this usually happen when there is a major update to the game coming in soon (new clubs or courses) 

  To Answer a couple of other replies.....   Apart from the obvious speed difference, Tournament Greens are very different to Champ Speed and the 1st game you play in a new Tier is your new average.

  Ya know i was thinking again...lol...I know,,, bad thing.

  Anyhow.... you know what the really sad part of it all is. We all would like to think that this is skill.

  Now.. don't get me wrong,, to post decent score you must know how to play the game.

  But,,, once you reach a certain level,, then skill takes the back seat to luck.

  See where i'm going here?  Most of the top players here are very very good at this game. Now...with that being said, take and put them all in a tourney,, hmm,, lol. just had one of those, lol..do you think the most skilled player would win??

  LOL,, lovely question huh??   That right there is what pi$$es me off about this game. Suppose to be a skill based game.

  And.....we got Icon saying random winds work. LMAO!  Wtf? Is this a sickness? Sad,,sad situation there,, lol.

  Just sit back and think about that for a second....then remember that Chris told you all long ago. Dude was one of the best to play this game....rarely plays the game now.

  One of the many top players to hang it up. I could name 20 right now...shame.
