    WGT still has done nothing to correct the bug in % of fairways hit. Nothing. Except ignore fixing it. 15 of 16 fairways hit is 93.75% not the wgt math score of 88%. If any of my Bankers or Stock Jobbers came up with similar results, they would be going in a hurry. Get on the dime WGT.

    hi

    I would say it's a low priority since we have some other pesky bugs that I'd like to see fixed first.

    I'm curious: How much is your life affected by such discrepancy, compared to the impact of asset losses due to bank account irregularities?

    And, which relevance can a stats have which includes your first noobish steps on this parquet? Gimme a break, SP!

    And the latest installment, 7of 7 fairways hit, wgt math = 71%. Relevance? Why have any stats at all? This particular piece of the stat puzzle has been in house since the beginning of this game and it is broken. It is as important as any other record that is kept. Everyone here trys to hit fairways...everyone. Myself included. Why have a bug log at all? And the answer is?

    Why is the math wrong in the first place?

    im gonna throw this out there:

    How do you in fact know that it is calculating the overall stat wrong, maybe the bug is just confined to that round. So it says 7 of 7, but fairways hit says 71, but when it pushes it through to calculate your total average it throws in a 100%

    I don't know just asking, playing devils advocate. Just curious if you have actually done the math over many rounds to see if these discrepant numbers are causing your overall average to go down or not.

    I am close to 90% and have never actually checked but feels like it is about right so not unhappy with the stat, but get what you are saying about if you are gonna have the stat, at least do it right. It also begs the question of how many other things are that discrepant, like game mechanics, possibly explaining the phenomenon of WTF shots. Don't know really??

    Just sayin

    No offence intended, but it's a pity that you reply to my questions with unrelated questions. Is it that you are in a conversation or in a deaf rant?

    IMHO, stats are here because they are habitual to the company's country. Relevance is much compromised by including scores from day 1. And, we've been living with more broken items like this for ages - relax!

    I am shooting for fairways, too, but only to have a chance of a perfect second shot, a good score, not for bragging rights with an (IMHO) irrelevant stat. And I have yet to detect the fault that you are describing.

    Since the ambition / mission of the mods changed from "we read everything, we care" (Pizza, 2012) to mere traffic control this year ("users to help users", Icon), some may see it only as a customers' place to vent, just like you do.

    Open a ticket in the help section below to check out the quality of their CS. Been there, done that, I'm through with it. But, for a valuable bug report, you might eventually want to include some details of the circumstances. One question is, is it only wrong when you hit 100% FWs?
