June Updates- grid dots and flash update

  After an exchange of messages with MM, I finally realized what was throwing me off.  My method has been to look at the putt from front then back, then set the aim marker according to break, and then putt using the rear view.

  When it comes time to execute the stroke, I look at the meter to dial in the proper amount of power then click early, on time, or late, according to how much break I've read.

  It was the initial shock seeing the dots disappear at the beginning of the stroke that threw me off, but after one round I'm used to it, and now realize it was just my eyes seeing (or not seeing, actually) something they had become accustomed to.

  Not saying this is the case for everyone, but I've found the adjustment fairly easy now.  It was really just a matter of something interrupting a routine to which I had become accustomed.

  THANKS WGT, my perfectly smooth meter has now become stuttery since last update.  Putting is the worse, i used to be able to hit ding on any scale from any distance (power) now its impossible because i get a stutter every where and it always seems to skip the ding.  You say your "substantial updates" solve meter problems, NO they just create problems in places they were non existent previously.  Playing $5 ready go earlier where i was ROBBED of a 56 and only managed an average 60 due to meter skipping on not one but FOUR easy 5 foot putts and under.  Your SUBSTANTIAL UPDATES seem to make players play LESS not more.

  Since the update, I find the game almost impossible to play. Adobe tells me everything is up to date, so Flash can't be updated. The meter jumps more than Mick Jagger during a Rolling Stones concert. I'm only logging on and playing a ctth so I get my xp points. Honestly it ran fine before this update. At the moment I no longer look forward to logging on WGT. Not heard the heartbeat once since the update

  Anyone else noticed the 'Downtime' page pop up today?  Seen it on at least two occasions already.

  What y'all up to WGT chaps?

  WGTadmin2:

  I hope you appreciate the change

             I do appreciate it yes thank you .  making the game worse with every update is not easy but you guys sure do a fine job at it .  stopping the dots at the top of my putting stroke was pure genus and  should provide weeks of frustration . definitely toped the clapping for birds and  message saying you will give me 250 credits for advancing to tour legend .

            already looking forward to the next update  perhaps a full 18 holes of 400 + yard par threes ?
