  Your time would have been better spent making bunker play more realistic, because at the moment it is a million miles away from real life golf. Frankly as a real life golfer of 45 years it's easier to play for real than on a game called WGT

  Just played a BoP5 RG.  Ended up on the 30/40 at RSG and 3' below the hole to the left.  Adjusted for some run and my pitch stopped almost dead, same as pre update.  

  ? to WGT is have you built in unpredictability?  Not as regards actual run out which is green etc I understand, but unpredictability as to whether or not you get spin same as last week or not??

  My punch out of the 25% at Kiawah (same round) seemed to run more although I was still short of the pin.  Trying to learn.

  I'm not sure if you're complaining about that or not, either way  - That's the way it should play.

  How can this even be an issue. The so called elite hardly ends up in the rough anyway so it won't be a problem

  Actually, I think it might be a problem.  Not for the Elite players, but for us. The gap could get wider.....lol

  2) For whatever reason the shot will shoot to the right. You need to compensate for that.Why it hasn't been fixed is a mystery to me.

   

  I'm guessing that you don't play golf IRL?   Open a club face for a flop shot and you'll see that the face is now aimed right of target, thus will go right of target.

  In wgt,  you can either aim left to compensate, (like opening your stance IRL for a flop) or just click one line early before ding.

  placing more emphasis on accuracy of drives and approach shots

   

  So what this translates to is, we are making it even better for the auto clickers who never find the rough on their drives

  Its all pretty simple really: changes need to be practiced, practice cost balls, balls make money.

  Not a problem for the rich and famous, but a huge one for the great middle section of players hanging on to play this game

  Just asking that's all.

  Think it's a fair ? for WGT, but no rush to respond seems.

  If it's NOT Broken, then Why Fix it???????

  The reverse could be asked when it comes to some other issues. :-)
