I am sure it isn't you. I've just completed a ready-go 18 holer (best of pas 4's) and after the 2nd hole, the meter just went stupid. It was pure luck if I managed to hit a fairway. Got to remember, it's only a game, but if I'd parted with 200 or 300 credits for entry, I'd be well hacked off! I played Nintendo's back in the 70's that were better than this. I can't believe that WGT cannot get this one sorted out.
All the best from the UK. Hope your weather's better than ours!
