    Yup, feel the need to vent once in awhile, for all the good it does...lol.  Everyone has a lot of the same stories.  It is particularly frustrating when one of two things happen:  either I have a really good start to the round and funny stuff happens to 'right the ship', or I play the high wind tourneys and the wind is unfavorable a lot more often than it should be... again, I usually notice this when I'm playing a lot of RG's on consecutive days.  The more you play, the worse the conditions seem to be.  The VEM always seems to bite me at the worst times, too.  If I'm having an average round, these things don't crop up.  But if I'm playing well, I am never surprised when something screwy happens!

    Bailed out of BOTH weekly tourneys after only a couple holes... WGT, keepin' it real!!!  Whistler 18 holer, not one, but two ridiculous violent lipouts from inside 6 feet.  Shove it... seriously...  Now I can't get through the freebies without getting fked?  Whatever...

    Well, Somebody asked for Heavy winds didn't they, in R/Go's or even Wgt Free comps now.  Just about every comp.

    LOL.....nope.  What it does do though is make the field totally uneven. Ones who get the tailwinds have the advantage..... the rest are donating.....lol.

    Like rolling the dice......... come on 7...... hehe.

    Yep...  that is true...lol

    Is there a certain time or even day to play.  I notice with alot of comps there is a mad rush to play just before the comp is ready to finish.

    I started a CC comp not so long ago and I stuffed up on the number of days to play. So I started a new comp, when I realised, same conditions, same course and it was totally different pin placements and slighlty heavier winds.

    Yes sir. What i have noticed in my very short time playing ready gos is you got to have the donating players.

    If everyone got the same conditions then the field would not be spread out like it is now. Nope.... the field would be bunched at the top.

    Sooo..... when you enter a tourney if not your turn then Vem or some ungodly thing just seems to happen out of the blue. Then you become one of the donating players....lol.

    To think....... some even call this skill.   :))

    But hey..... after seeing some of the WD's of some of the best.... we are not alone...lol.

    We had a thread on this subject not to long ago. Bottom line everyone here knows not having same conditions in same round is totally unfair.

    WGT chooses not to do the right thing. But..... then again when do they?
