  Yiannis1970:

  in any case though, the ball can't go in the water under these conditions for any probable or improbable reason...and for that, iam certain.

  As for BB 3WD, why a similar thing never happened on the 3d hole of BB, for instance? How come there every shot is perfect or near perfect? (also this hole is 10 down if i remeber correctly). If i play this stroke 1 million times in Bethpage with a wind at 9.30, full bs at 220, 1 million and 1 times won't reach the hole at 240.

  Yet the ball did go in the water, so it can!!!! Go and play the same shot another few hundred times, and another one might go in the water long, and a couple left too for good measure. You are right that the 220yd 3i won't reach, because you are trying to play for 220yds + 5yds for the shape of the green. Take 5 pixels less than full backspin for the shot and it would be about right though. 

  Won't see that with a 220yd 3wd shot on the 3rd at BPB because it is not 35ft downhill, and the green is a different topography where you are not having to add yards from the usual to get the average distance right. You can certainly go 9 yards left, right or short on this hole when hitting for the correct distance and dinging, and I have done. Long is less likely because the back of the green is higher than the hole, but it's still possible.

   

  Good morning to you and all!!

   

  Ok, i can see your point but i have to disagree. If everything is possible then it's futile to speak about calculations, circle and various technical stuff. Let's accept game's provverbial inconsistency and move on. As for me, i don't believe in inconsistency but to certain ''tweaks'' on specific shots, such as the par 5 on Cong (the one with the lake), the 1st on S.A. (i have seen the most bizzare things happening there with the ball ending in water), the par 5 on S.A. when you opt a shot for the left side (never went out of bounds with the standard ball, many times with expensive ones) and the list goes on..

  Following the same logic of inconsistency, radius and circles, then there's nothing wrong with the green speed. Dots are moving inside this arc of error and we have to tollerate and accept things as they are. Probably even the dots have an arc of eficiency from 0.2 sec to 2.2 sec in motion...so everything is fine!!

  I hope they do work out how to stop this daily 1 hole play and take away the free balls, then even more of us will stop playing this game. They have brought this on themselves. The worst customer service BY FAR. Its amazing how shoe can announce yesterday that after this weekend Cabo and whistler will go back to being pay courses but cant keep us informed on all the other problems are being addressed. It is very obvious they are not going to address or fix this problem. They are sitting there laughing saying these idiots will still pay to play this game and we laugh all the way to the bank. After 3 years of playing this game and paying 1000's  of $ I thank them for opening my eyes to move on and spend my time and money on site that appreciate my business. To all my friends, thanks for the fun times and will see you on other sites

  IMO places like Andys and Beth (noob central) the dots are OK if your ADP is half OK,  Not tried Merion since the balls up but Kiawah seems also OK, and even Oak.  Get to places like PH, and unless you are really pinging in close the change gets magnified.

  Too small a sample to really tell for sure if what is new is consistent this end.  The company though continues to show it\s true colours, not even having the decency to update.  

  As it stands the silence is only indicating they are happy to run the game as a place for candy crush noobs, and leave skill behind.  Wait and see I guess, but this is getting very old v quickly.  A few things that are  team based will finalise in my CC soon, and I have no interest in entering any new team events as that demands  regular play.............Be around for those commitments but will be a good break after that unless this nonsense has rectified. 

  Hope they turn it around, but they really need to to then also have a period where at least key things run OK.

  And that is my point Jimbog They dont care about us long time members and the time and money and s**t we have put up with in their poor customer service. They pray on the newbies that dont know how much they suck and dont care about you, just your money

  Isnt this interesting, and a bunch of BS!!!!...........I am aware of the enormous amount of complaints regarding the change in math on putting dots.  In addition I have noticed the winds are much stronger than before.  Instaed of complaining about it, is there a post with revised putting instructions or are we on our own to figure it out and get so frustrated that we seek out a better game to play.  I could use some help here,

   

   

  hi

  there were never any instructions. it's always been by feel. we are still looking at dots. it was not our intention to mess with them.

  Stupid,  this game is getting more and more difficult for me to play.  Everyday something else gets broken,  getting to Tour Legend and finding out the tolerance for all my clubs went out the window was one thing.  WGT screwing around with everything has me as well as many of my friends hanging on by a thread.

  I cannot see me being around too much longer with this mess and many more feel the same way.  Everything you are doing with the game is running more people away,  great business plan. 

  I would not have Icon's job,  he is reporting to the fox in the hen house,  either they are too dumb to fix the problems or they don't care.

  Done...

  Well i am sure if Shoe had news to inform us with he would! At the end of the day Shoe and Icon are moderators and they do care what goes on in here! They work for WGT and obviously there are some deep problems within that are difficult to find..Give the Mods a break because they would like to keep us all happy trust me lol

  Also take into consideration a new stroke play course is close and just before the platform for that is bedded there are always strange things going on lol.Lets see what happens after when the new course is set and in! My guess is they will wait until then to address the current situations and update everything when that course is in.

  So PRIESTESS you are saying wait until May (thats when it is suppose to open) and mean while keep feeding this site time and money for a VERY VERY POOR PRODUCT  AND CUSTOMER SERVICE? Thats exactly what they want as they always have. I dont blame shoe I blame the site as a whole, they care about money only and nothing else. That is a the upper management problem

  Yeah cos the game was not messed up when Bandon pitch and putt was launched eh!. Folk know shoe/icon are not to blame for these mess ups but they are the ones who keep saying bare with us and "check your browser and clear your cache".........Not our computers fault im afraid, so dont blame it on us im saying.
