    Can someone please explain to me why my meter jumps whenever I play over or near water.  8/10 its a new ball too!!!  I'm sick to death of it.  I'm sure WGT know!!  Never jumps other than that.

    All of this and maybe try different browsers. Also in the game options, maybe try a lower Flash Quality. Turn off sound affects.  Run a program called 'Gamebooster' which stops all the activity on your puter running in backround

    I had to do all these things on my old Puter.  The new one is more powerful and don't have to do anything now.  My meter most of time is pretty good.

    My theory about meter stutters is...

    When you have meter probs, there is some program/activity doing something in the backround that is using the Puters resources, in conjunction with gameplay, this will cause a Stutter or worse.

    I've always said this, meter Problems started when all the Adds and Videos started on Wgt. This was quite a few years ago.

    With all the new Courses that have to load more info then you might find, the game is still loading a tree or two when you having your shot. Not forgetting sounds.

    its in the game no computer.

    I  have seen this so many times happening  with cruicial shots and putts.

    Lost ball is money for them,a  lost birdie or eagle is our loss.

    It always jumps in the first attempt never the second.

     

    So it is what it is frustrating at the time but all in the game.

    Moral,,,,,, always play your second shot first.

    happy hitting

    How much time do you have to read some observations is the question.
