  What in the H--- is THIS WGT,,,, Please reimburse my ball usage for these 9 holes. Just when you think this game has max'ed out with incompetent programming,,, This is nonsense!

  Sadly, this is becoming a trend:

  Sorry, can't get my browser to post as a link, you'll need to cut and paste.  Sadly, even though this happened in a single-play tournament, Customer Service felt no compensation was appropriate.

  Worse, this morning, after a 49 ft putt on Oakmont #7 came up 2 stinkin' inches short, the subsequent putt, hit 1.5 feet, flies over the hole like it wasn't even there.  Was so tee'd off, I forgot to save the replay.  Unbelievable!

  Here's a visual for quick reference. A definite anomaly.

  Jeff, Robbo,

  Looks like a new WGT feature, not a bug.   Expect an explanation along the lines of:

  "In response to hundreds of thousands of requests from players to make the winds more realistic we have introduced a new feature to our physics model called Clear Air Turbulance.

  Thank you for your patience as our top engineer works on the issue."

  Watch it from the tee box view (#1)...it's plain to see that the ball is knocked down by the mad invisible wizard hiding in that cloud.

  I'm sorry it is at your expense, but that is too funny.

  The game is becoming unplayable. Seems a new bug pops up about every hour now. A shame to see this game disintegrating like this.

  Listening carefully to the audio on both those replays, overtheedge's definitely hits some foliage in mid air, but robbo's sounds very much like it hits the ground whilst in mid air.
