  WGT:

  I love this game.  You guys and gals answer my questions (good or bad) in a reasonable time.  Thank you for all your work to improve the gaming experience.

  HOWEVER:

  I effing HATE HATE HATE when you set the default distance on a putt of 14 feet to 30 feet.  I just dunked a brand new NIKE on the par 5 of Congressional into the water because of this.  I cannot be the first one to experience this. 

  WOULD YOU, COULD YOU....PLEASE..... set the default distance of putts at the lowest setting and then it's up to me if I want to putt longer.  This happens once/twice a month and it's irritating.  

  Thank you kindly....

  Waterlogged and lost....

  It has been like that forever - no change in sight.

  Special care is necessary on the fringe - the putting scale will be huge!

  In January, WGT started a thread named "Caddie woes" and asked for our pet peeves. It lasted about 10 weeks, but WGT never came back to that thread, neither for comments nor for a thank you, and apparently nothing changed.

  When confronted, they named this a regular reaction - I beg to differ!

  My 2 Pfennig: Work on your hatred - this has more chances of success.

  You are a Legend that has been here since 2011, you should know better.

  Yep. Ya gotta pay attention.

  It's the players responsibility to check what his caddy is doing.
