Does anyone beside me think there is way too much advertising on this site anymore. I know they are trying new things and not everything works the first time, but come on people. There's only so much one can take.
When you first sign on anymore, you get the ad in the center of the screen. You get it again when you sign on to play a game. And now you even get it when you make the turn on an 18 hole game. Many times, it's the same thing over and over again.
Add to that the new ads that pop-up over the controls in the corner of the screen. It would be bad enough if it was just one. But you have to sit through two before you can even play a game. I sign on first thing in the morning before heading off to work. I have to see a minimum of three ads before I can play a 9 hole. Two of them are playing at the same time, so I'm sure the people that are paying for the ads would now be amused.
Then there were the ones that showed up after each hole at the top of the screen and caused the screen to expand in size. I had to change the screen size just to be able to continue the game.
Everyone seems to complain about the swing meter. After working in the computer industry, I know how easy it is to blame the other guy when your stuff doesn't work correctly. If you use flash player to run your program, please don't blame them when your program is incompatible in some way.
In closing, I look back at this great program and how it has progressed over the last few years. It might be advertised as free, but the people that play it every day are not playing for free. We pay for balls, we pay for clubs, and at times we pay to enter tournaments. Do the people that are funding this free program really need to be inundated with ads at every turn? I think not. They have apps with ads for the cheapskates and updated apps for those who don't want to see them. I pay to play and do not want to see all these ads.
