  In the OP, Icon referred to a faulty connection between Bag Plus and the "last ball" indications which had been reported by users.

  Now this fault apparently has been replaced by another one, following the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (hint: insider).

  Glad that I don't use these ugly bags!

  New Taylormade hybrid.... "hit longer"   but rated at the same ole 225yd distance.  I'd probably entertain the idea of having a hybrid if it filled the gap  between 3wd and 3 iron.

   

  Another update and nothing new from Callaway but the upcoming product releases states new equipment from them.   What is this, the 3rd update now since the upcoming products showed Callaway?

  The new drivers are cool and all, but the meter speed turns me off as it would upset the equal meter speed for me from wedge through driver.

  Still no yellow Nike balls either.  :(

   

  New putting views, good idea but aren't very helpful at all.  Least the camera icon still flips from front and back views.

   

  Country club tourney shows very fast greens, get to first green and it's tourney 11 greens.

  MartyFlanagan:

  does WGT have a list of each hole yardage for each tee difficulty (eg hardest, hard etc) for each course including chambers bay available to post on here?

  All four are in the "hole info" during gameplay.

  More compact, it's on the scorecards from the respective tees, available from 18 hole practice rounds even before the first shot. No other WGT info known here.

  yeah i know about those options, i just thought wgt might have a document they could post up on the forum so i dont have to go and check each hole/scorecard for the info and write it down

  Didn't see anything on it, but have the New Nike putters been reprogrammed and working? Need that free rental to try it out.

  I have a theory about that.

  In the past we all knew the standard green speeds....   Fast, v/fast, tourny .  Now we have a number of ranges within those green speeds.   eg...  9.6 , 13,  11.5   (just for example)

  So we set up comps at say tourny speed....   but the game might give us 11.4  or something like that...  so when we go on green...  the game thinks that tourny speed is actually V/fast greens.

  I can't think of the proper words, but I hope you get my silly logic....lol

  The new reverse shot icon is a little ugly - and the new putting angles are not very useful - but I can live with those

  But the "reverse-shot" sound when arriving at every single tee is VERY VERY annoying.

  Edit: make that every single shot....

  No fix for the useless Nike Method level 101 M2 putter I see. Very dissapointing to put out 4695 of my hard earned "free" credits for a usleless piece of  virtual equipment because of poor programing. I have been dissapointed before but this one is the worst. I will not be buying any clubs for quite some time if ever.

  i may be a bit late here  but why 4 camera angles on putts forward and reverse are fine

  the hole is in front of us  not to the right or left

  Hello Icon.

  I hope you've had a great day, something wonderful for lunch and maybe a pizza and a few beers are lined up for tonight.   I hope you have a great weekend and want to thank you for keeping us informed about new developments within the game.

  Well, somebody has to post something positive don't they?  You bunch of whinging butt plugs.
