  WGTadmin2:

  Regarding the required upgrade for flash player: We looked at the user submitted reports and the majority of the people crashing or disconnecting were using a old version of flash.  We apologize for asking you to upgrade but it should make the overall experience better. thanks for understanding.

   

  (plus the old version of flash have security faults and should not be used)

  Really not WGT's place to decide on our security parameters ?

  WE decided never to update flash player, with much forethought that it was worth a small risk for a smooth game...don't dictate ? 

  History will tell you that doesn't work ?

  Having to mess around with firefox, googling how to clear cache in this browser. when i move game window it defaults to original place, so my 18 month old screen putter pal..useless !!

  Everything stuttering ATM...no need WGT ?

  Hs to update it to try got a sign in on Maxthon, updated still won't let me ????/

  Told flash NEVER to update unless I say,after that abortion back when, had same one for 18 months !!!

  For Andy and those who don't want to use Flash 14, go here and try version 11.5.502.110 release date 11/6/2012.  It's about half way down the page.

  I'm using that and can still play normally.  Well, I opened the game client and started a game, haven't hit a ball but I assume that works too.  This is the version that was recommended to me by several people and has been very stable and given a good meter.  It also appears to fall below the Flash version check radar.

  Follow Mike's instructions on how to replace the existing version you have installed.

   

  My appologies to WGT for failing to notice there were colour options for those Callaways and thanks to the staff for finally making H a happy man.

  PLEASE change the putting grid back to the dots moving all the time. PLEASE that was  very ignorant to change it. PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK. I IMPLORE YOU ICON

   

  It's an attempt to make the meter smoother. Hardly fair to call it ignorant.

  My flash player is up to date, yet when I come to the home screen, my login tab and play now tab fail to show on the screen (Mozilla Firefox)  With Chrome both these tabs show, but I can hardly play on Chrome due to the slider being far to laggy and jerky (on Firefox it's always nice and smooth) So what can I do about this issue ??

   

  Cheers

  RE: stopping the grid dots on the down swing

   

  We have done substantial work to smooth the meter for lower end machines.  Part of the issue was when the dots were moving on the grid it could max out your PC's resources and cause a stutter in the meter.  So to make it better we stop all flash objects on the down swing except for the meter itself.

  I don't like to say I told you so, but I told you so years ago.

  Thank you for listening to all the players' ideas to make this great game even greater.

  Congrats to HP for getting WGT to implement the yellow Cally's. Enjoy! : )

  The level 37 is the  same as the 33 Callaway , 25 credits more. Such a deal.  :-)

  I get very confused in my old age.  Was there a L37 before? It's available in white also and as you say identical to the L33, just 25 credits more..............Fairy dust free with it or something?

  LOL. What do I know, they just got tired of listening to Hazen and took the cheapest Callaway, dipped it in the paint and smacked a 25 credit increase on it. :-D
