Why this game annoys so much !

  I just scored my first official eagle in another virtual golfgame and was happy as a child. Suddenly it came to me why i dont have that feeling for the WGT game anymore for a long time.

  If you play this game for a while and you develop a bit of skill its possible to score quite low. You move up de ranks, the experience, the levels and at a certain point you have done it all, probably not all in the same game, but over time you know you can really score low if everything works for you.

  And with that knowledge, the fact you can make that birdie and that eagle, the first thing thats goeing to annoy you is making pars. Afeter a while even making birdies is not making you exited or happy anymore and even missing eagles on the pasr 5 holes, well a lot of them at least, seem to be a normal thing.

  And at that point anything less is simply not good enough anymore. WGT golf has became in fact to easy to play, though you have to take that relatively. On the other hand, its just my feeling about it all, maybe nobody else sees it that way, but i doubt it

  Especially after you learn your clubs , course management and ball placement on each course . Also once you learn when its you or the game then it really gets old . But at the same time its supposed to get easy the more you play the easier it gets .

  In real life people learn how to make things easier not harder . Go to work and make the job more difficult and watch how they look at you like you are crazy . I once told some one that when it comes to the game , I dont expect to win every tourney that I play , but I do expect to play well and have fun . As long as I can do that I will continue to play the game even if its only practice rounds .

  Firstly where do you get only 10 courses?? Counting the 5 best of courses and the 2 Tru golf courses and the new Bandon Dunes par 3 course we have 17 full stroke play courses with at least 2 more coming before the end of the year. Plus it wouldn't get so boring if you actually played all the courses regularly. From looking at you recent score history you only play a few of those 17 courses. Add to that the 14 CTTH only courses and we have over 30 courses to play. Play them all and you won't be bored.

  you don't count CTth  as a course . shame on wgt for adding ctth  to the virtual tour, and Bandon isn't even a par 70+ . I was saying 10 courses as an estimate.Go look at the golf club, they got over 5000 course s which are costume made and really life ones.

  Whilst there may be 17 courses, counting "best ofs" is double dipping. Take out the Tru Golf courses you have 10 unique courses (Tru Golf as they are inferior in every way and require a green fee).

  Then for someone like me who refuses to play a par 3 course (regardless of difficulty as people say) I have 9 courses I can play. And seriously, CTTH courses are lame. When I first found this game, that is all there was, so left only to find it a couple of years later.

  Then if you dislike a course (mine is RSG) pickings are pretty thin. So 10 courses over the 4 or 5 years I have been here, and on the assumption you play frequently, I think it is a fair call if someone gets bored by the limited options for stroke play. Sheesh, the pin positions are limited as well.

  Then take away KIA which is a crap shoot on the greens, it starts to look dire.

  But the point the OP makes is true, the game has been made too easy by the equipment, which is continuing to improve. This is really where the game suffered in the pursuit of the dollar.

  WGT is still a good game, but should have, and still could be so much better. But with all the problems it is beggining to look like it has past it's "best before date".

  Whether the company has the management and vision to reignite a lot of players enthusiam is debatable.

  I'm sorry, but Covenant I disagree with you. WGT has much more to offer. All you ever do is play tourneys. Try getting on with fellow CC members add skype & enjoy the game & the company. You are an excellent player... play others, help them become as good as you. There is IMO way more to this game than you believe.
