    I can't speak for any one but myself. The chip veiw is not working for me. The front view is dead on. When I miss a putt it's because of speed most of the time. This may be different for others. We all use different  browsers and different flash versions so there will different results. Hope it gets worked out for everyone. JMHO.

    first, develop the new drug then invent the ailment..... 

    LOL like butter and eggs...apparently both now in fashion again.  Of course butter is at a super inflated price having killed of the industry that was, and well free range eggs, lol.

    Did I go off on yet another tangent...maybe, LOL.

    Hi

    If WGT totally screwed up the game, HOW COME TOUR LEGENDS STILL ARE ABLE

    TO SHOOT 25-26-27 on 9 holes and 54-55-56 on 18 holes??

    Agassi1991

    I'd love to see them make the game so that great players would not routinely shoot those numbers...that's not replicating real golf, which after all, is the goal of a golf simulation, right? Maybe a bit of unpredictability would actually improve the game? Look at how often in real golf a player will miss a 8-10 foot or so putt, and an announcer will say the ball just doesn't break the way the players think it will, etc.

    It's not easy to create a golf game that new players will find playable, at least so they can quickly be hitting balls down the fairway, etc., then as they master the finer points, gradually get better and better - but at the same time still make a game that will still appeal to expert players too.

    Let's remember (apparently) that's what brought on the changes to the rough in the first place - WGT themselves said they wanted to make it a little easier for players to hit out of the rough, and the players most often in the rough (particularly the deep rough) are newer players.

    Anyway, all these different comments about the dot speed are confusing me now. They seem to be back to normal to me...at least now I'm missing putts like I used to - based on bad reads/hits, not dot speed lol.

    If that were the goal, there would be no green dots or grids to blabber about and the avatar would be able to toss pinches of grass into the air to help figure out the play of the wind ;-}

    There would also be 3d views same as IRL, and same is IRL some would do it better than others :)...........There will always be haves and have nots.  

    The more I practice the luckier I get - Gary Player I think.

    No fix coming I guess. Gonna give PP a legit try today. Hopefully you can sort it out, gonna be on hiatus until that time. I really hope this issue doesn't go cold and eventually  forgotten.

    My way of thinking on this is, Green speed dots can be re-learned by practice..

    How-ever on another important note, its very difficult to set up a multi-player game WHEN THE INVITES ARE NOT WORKING!!!!!

    Lets get these glitches worked on and fixed soonest please!!

    The game is falling apart around us...

    Ha - aint it the truth -- it may have been Trevino - either way, a simple fact of life ;-}
