  There is some really bad things happening on Oly.  I really really hate that course....lol

  Seriously,  Shot's just missing ding and going way further off course than Normal

  Putts actually rolling over the side of cup like it wasn't there.

  Rolls on green curving more and/or less than what the dots are saying, sometimes in the opposite direction than what the dots are moving.

  Hitting into 15mph headwinds and shots reacting like they were tailwinds.

  Yes, I know all this sounds familiar.  This time there is something very wrong on that course.

  only thing "wrong" with Olympic that I've seen is that a 27 is not guaranteed to win a RG on the back 9

  Yep. The side of the cup may not actually be there.

  IIRC the best accuracy WGT claims between the software and the graphics we see is something like 1.5 inches. The cup may actually be 1.5 inches away from where we see it on a green, or the ball may be 1.5 inches further from the cup than they can show.

  So what looks like the ball just rolling over the edge of the cup on the screen may not be the result the software calculated.

  The bottom line is what the software calculates as the result is what counts, not what they can show us on our screen.

  If you really want to drop your score, play Cabo front 9 or Whistler back 9. Oakmont back 9 also does the trick

  Both those courses cost money though.

  Cabo is one of my favorite courses.   Easy and Deadly at the same time. It's possible to have -7 after 4 holes on the front9. Be careful of playing Cabo in R/Go's as you need to have a pretty low score, just for Top10.

  Back to the Op...oh that's me....lol.  

  Strange things are happening on all courses now.  

  Meter doing a dance at the wrong times, this is after a perfect meter for a few holes and birds, then troubles start.

  Overshooting ding just slightly and stopping pin high and wide. This is happening allot lately

  Last Month or two (I think) shot a 39 on Beth back9.  After that game I just sat back and wondered,  what just happened then....lol  Had no Idea at how, the shots I was hitting ended up with a score so bad. Might sound strange..lol

  Yes, I understand people are still shooting low scores in Comps, but I've been around for awhile and things that are happening within the game is not explainable.

  My Ave is down to 58 now and have played 600+ rounds as TL...  maybe that has something to do with it,   don't know.

  Doesn't matter, I will still carry on as usual.  Just had to say.... there is something wrong with the gameplay.

  I'm not the one to have a Winge or complain about anything about the game.....lol.  

  I really think there is something wrong with the gameplay at the moment, which I also think that it is ruining the game for most.

  I do have my theories.  Hypothetically speaking, maybe Wgt is trying to make the game harder, which quite a few have recommended. By doing this it is also taking the fun outa the game for most.

  Just Saying
