    I had another 4 under going then on 17 I read a 13 mph wind going right, I set the adjustment and hit a perfect shot, I watched in horror as it went terribly left and into the heavy fescue.   I looked up and saw the the wind arrow was total opposite, did I screw up?    Well, the next  5 shots showed the wind in the same direction that I originally thought, to the right, not at all left as in the previous shot gone bad, how could it go 100% opposite and at the same 13 mph in just that instant,  FREAKING IMPOSSIBLE

    MY GOD THANKS FOR WASTING ANOTHER HOUR OF MY TIME THIS GAME IS PISS

    17th 22ft putt slightly off striaght with a 3 downhill hit it 1/2 of my 30ft putter bar and ended up 5ft past the hole

    18th 20ft putt slightly off straight with a 3 downhill hit it 1/2 of my 30ft putter bar and ended up 4ft short of the hole

    how can this be :-( this is the only instance of this happening and it happen before at Kiawah Isalnd in both the Ready Go tourament i played in the greens played inconstient espeically on the front 9 which is more annoying because your playing for credits

    I did hear a theory that it only happens to most players that aren't legends but certain players that are legends it dosent happen so that WGT will get more credits out of the non legends and more money :-(

    the more i read the forums the more it seems the legends dont get these problems very intresting indeed

    Not for nothing Deccy, this is the third time I've seen your exact post in 3 different threads. Are you copying and pasting it or what?

    @charlie-The wind shifts a bit but not 180 degrees. If you're switching between views the reverse view shows you an opposite wind from the tee view. It might have been something like a graphics lag. Every once in a while I will swear I saw one thing and got another, particularly in the club I choose. I write it off to a brain freeze.  :-)

    I understand completely the opposite view, not after I played the next several shots and it confirmed the wind direction that was showing when I hit my drive, only after hitting the drive did the wind switch 180-degrees, it was real, not an accident.

    The same thing happened to me again today, 180-degree shift after the drive then back to the original direction on the next shot.  That's what happened, twice.  :(

    Is the view shifting? Sometimes you see your drive in the reverse camera after teeing off. It will switch from front view to reverse and back during the ball flight.

    Once you become a legend, the ball magically drops in the cup.  That's right.  You heard it here first.  Actually, you heard it from a tour master first, but he was just guessing.  I'm telling you it first as a fact.

    Proof #1: RG Win #1

    Proof #2: RG Win #2

    Now, someone might ask, "But Charlemagne, didn't you just finish tied for 16th in a St. Andrews Front 9 RG?  How is that possible if the ball just magically sinks for legends?," but that is a stupid question that only a non-legend would ask.  Every legend knows that you have to remember to click the "Legend Easy Button" at the start of every match, and I forgot to do this, so I was stuck in hard mode for the rest of the round.  This poor performance had nothing to do with the fact that I accidentally hit a 16-ft 3-inch-downhill putt on the 30-ft putt meter and everything to do with forgetting to turn on the legend cheats.  Proof: That putt that I hit 17 ft past the hole wouldn't have gone 17 ft past the hole if I'd remembered to turn legend cheats on.  Legend cheats trump poor performance.

    These revelations should put to rest the notions that people have been throwing around, claiming that you have to think to play golf, use a calculator, or measure your shots perfectly with a ruler.  Everybody knows that you're supposed to just rear back and smack the *** out of the ball.  You see it all the time on the TV.  When's the last time you saw a highlight on Sports Center where the guy was hitting it soft?  Never.   It's always some long shot that the guy hits to within two feet or even manages to sink.  You never see a one-foot putt highlight because people stupidly hit them soft and soft shots are bad shots.  If soft shots weren't bad shots, then they'd make the Sports Center highlight reel.  (If you do see a one-foot putt highlight, it is because they are basically showing how the last shot, which was a 100% power shot, was so amazing that even a crappy soft shot will manage to close out the hole.)  100% power = good. 99% or under power = bad.  Obviously, then, the claims that legends do well because they think about their shots, use calculators, rulers, etc. is just a cover story for the legend cheats.

    I'd also like to nip one response to these revelations in the bud.  People might ask, "Well, if being a legend makes the game so much easier, why don't the TMs just cherry-pick their rounds in order to make legend instead of complaining on the forums?"  A legend will tell you that the TMs won't do that because they don't actually believe it's easier to be a legend, but that is a lie.  It is a response given only by legends, and everyone knows that all legends are liars, so obviously no further proof is needed.  In fact, TMs try to do this every day.  Unfortunately, WGT controls who is and who is not a legend.  WGT = Golfstapo.

    If this is so,then I need to panscrub my screen,I inadvertantly used permanent marker to mark out the scales for each hole of every course.

    By the time I finished adding in the wind variation scale,I could no longer see the actual playing area,but thats okies because I do it by sound anyway,what with being blind to the truth.

    So,are there power ups for girls,because in my opinion there ought to be,given that we have to wear skirts in those 30mph winds.Why Oh Why has WGT not fixed this glaring bug? Honestly,Im so cross I could spit.

    And another thing,when will this game become truly interactive?I cannot count how many times I have held my hand to the screen and shouted STOP STOP STOP when I sense the stupid ball is running past the Flag.Its an outrage.
