    Jimbog1964:

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

     

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

    Maybe even Arnold Palmer :)...One of those quotes that gets attributed to one player in a minds eye when it is just a well known fact of life, and said by a few.  

    Think with Gary some numb nut noob of an interviewer once ask how he felt about some one saying you seem to have ridden your luck this year, and that made him baulk up with the statement that time.

    All greats of the game of course.  Same as with any over night sensation, years in the making :)

    Similar applies here.  You can't begrudge people like mags, seb, WOL and etal their wins.  How many times do us lesser players scratch our heads with putts that they just KNOW........and that still applies loads (before any one pipes up, LOL) as their ADP is generally better for the same reason:)

    BTW: Just in case any one sees this as real WGT orientated I do not agree with the zero information as to what they are doing or not doing etc..read the thread:)

    WGT the dots are still way way off, i think this was a deliberate change, and i also believe you have 0 intention of returning them to there correct speed. Deliberately shooting yourself in the foot is an absurd idea NO???? Yet every update this is what you do WGT, how long do you think you can sustain this absurdly ignorant business model????

    ^ True, though with a One Putt % of  33.02%, finding the hole ain't much of a priority of yours anyways is it?

    No point anymore in wanting the dots fixed, it is fairly obvious that WGT ain't interested.

    Front view speed is near enough, now trying to get approaches nearish to have a chance - if too far and cannot read the putt easily, just get it right for speed and not worry, hope to leave a tap in save.

    Invites are now far more important, I don't have the class of game to worry about a few missed putts or getting near the top of leaderboards, just want to hit a few balls with friends.

    Perception is a reality, I guess. In almost  6 years here I find them as true as they ever were. I saw the difference like everybody else and I am confident the issue was resolved and that the dots were back to what they were before the mess. Any lingering doubt could be attributed to mind over matter, IMO. I know I was psyched out for a spell.  :-)

    Been unable to read the greens since they fixed the dots. Was fine reading them before they were screwed up and even when they were in warp speed. The main issue is, putts are breaking differing amounts for the same speed of the dots

    What are you playing Jim? Like win7, flash 16XXX035, browser?

    I'm playing just courses without much break and even if there is I know them very well...using a combo of 2 systems that are very precise and easy to know when you are right where you should be like past attempts, and I have to double the break on any putt over 8ft with any movement at all, and slam home shorter ones with subtle breaks...

    I don't really enjoy playing at all anymore, if they don't correct it I'm just about done playing for good....

    The dots are very precise on the mobile version ;-)

    Windows 7,  Comodo Dragon dedicated to the game with Flash version 11.9.900.117.

    FWIW, I think the Flash version has a lot to do with it which is why I stay with an earlier version.
