  Just been playing a few more of the rough shots and i gotta say it's absolutely awful. It's not realistic at all.

  What kind of change are you seeing?

  Just no spin what so ever. It's actually running up hill on the greens like i've ran after it and hit it again.

  Congratulations WGT, the rough changes are just another step towards totally destroying this game. Doesn't anyone in your organization have any sense? Your lack of marketing  skills is only exceeded by your lack of programming talents.

  Now the new barrage of e-mails is going to be complaining about long putts. Wonder what WGT's fix is going to be for that to appease those new players.

  Simple - make the greens smaller !

  They did that here on a nice course in Thailand, just to save money on upkeep, and of course the greenside bunkers were no longer greenside bunkers.

  Ruined the fookin place

  Seems to me that if wgt wants "more realistic" play, and one of the ways is to make shots from rough around greens more difficult, then fair play demands that they also make bunker play more realistic.

  In many cases real tour players prefer to land in greenside bunkers rather than greenside rough because they can impart more backspin and control to the bunker shots...but that's not the case here...as already noted, wgt bunkers don't play at all like real ones.

  I'm okay with making the rough more difficult as long as bunker play is made more realistic as well.

  Having said that, I haven't tried out the new rough parameters yet, but from what I'm reading wgt has gone way overboard and needs to dial it back a bit.
