Time for a ball replacement WGT - this is ridiculous

  I have hit over this tree several hundred times and you only hit the tree when you aim much further left than this.  For this to have cost me a brand new ball is absurd.

  hi

  that's a bad break IMO. you hit the tree, which is not that uncommon with that much of a tail wind. I'd aim right and hit box early... but that's just me.

  hitting oob due to landing on edge of road, thus going way right, is just a bad break and nothing else....

  I get what you are saying about the tree - but are you going to tell me I couldn't have walked 50 feet over into the rough to collect the ball or even play it?

  Looks like a level 100 without the new nike driver. :-)

  I will assume you were going the full bs, but typically the game it seems just does not always register the spin or a club change, the classic wtf is the result. Maybe its a packet drop or server burb, something, not sure.

  There should be some way to know the server has registered the shot selections.

  Icon, no offense, but thats crap, that tree on that line in that wind clears all day long and twice on sundays. Give the guy a sleeve.

  I've seen some lousy breaks. That's one of the lousiest. Give him a sleeve ! Hell, give us all a sleeve.

  yes looks like a pretty shoddy outcome to me ..wait till you hit fbs and ding it and it only goes half as high as the tree and drops into the 40/50 or the 60/70 or 80/90, its ruined a few nice starts to a tourney for me .

  Every time i reach that hole at -3 i give full backspin and of course get similar shot to yours, ball has NO LOFT at all.  Its happening so often i'm now using the old R11 Driver just to play the WGT tour,  Its not registering the backspin added

  Looks more like top spin. Looks like a classic case of the mouse not releasing the spin dot and the dot being moved up to topspin and you not noticing. It happens to us all at one time or another.

  Ok guys, look before you jump to speak here, this is spammage, one the great players here, out of the millions here, likely top 10, he would not post this if there was any chance of him making the mistake over the game making the mistake, plus I think his biggest beef was the fact the ball was lost, not that it hit the tree which happens to us all and has nothing to do with us not seeing the spin dot.

  I agree, give us all a sleeve.
