  the most well-known one is Black Viper's service

  I am so glad that guy is still around ,  i think i first used him for win98 service tweaks.

  To the reasonably savvy user, his info is great.

  I think it was him who first discovered the ever so popular firewall BlackICE had in fact a serious security flaw within it.

  Yeah, brings back memories for me too.. I first used his guide for tweaking XP at least 14 years ago..

  24 pages of complaints, and still goin' strong. One can only imagine the 1000's of e-mails WGT must be getting saying how wonderful the new update is.

  Doc :)

  Glad to see im not the only one. Zoom feature for shots are gone on mine metering is all over the place. Only in the last few weeks. Money grabbing comes to mind which i wouldnt mind parting with if i had the product that it should be. Pity.

  Its almost unplayable now.

  Just in the off chance a mod feels free to answer, assuming WGT have got that far :)

  Is there any intention in one of the two new tiers to make averages and stats rolling, not saturate ?

  Doing just that simply would not be perfect but possibly a little better than now.

  Is there any intention to exclude red tee CC stuff from the top tier?

  I see that as a possible all round solution as red tees could stay as Champs or TLs, and lower their averages there.

  Separately (or not so)  I read this in a review about MS - I can't help but think some of this is also v much applying to WGT at the moment:

  Even though Windows 8.1 did improve things, there's no escaping that with Windows 8, Microsoft was hugely complacent, buoyed by the success of Windows 7. It drastically misunderstood its users with a fundamentally changed user interface which didn't make any logical sense and was hard to learn. It failed us. It failed itself.

  It goes on:

  Thankfully 2015 Microsoft is pretty different to 2012 Microsoft.

  I v much hope we can talk similarly about WGT soon.

  The game of Golf is all about how you respect the course and other players.

  It doesn't matter what tee you hit from you have to have the knowledge of what club to use and where to land the ball in all conditions.It is called  Course Management!

  If you cannot manage your shot selection with whatever club and ball combo you have you are in direr straits.

  Well that Course Management! is good advice in the real game, But Does not mean a thing in a virtual Game like this that at present  leaks Glitches like a Sieve 

                                       your still in Dire straits.

  Most full length tee people convert quite easily to red tees if they ever play them.  Many mainly red tee people are woeful of full length tees - woeful.

  Sorry you feel that way, but Virtual Game or not You still have to know where to hit the ball and what it will do after landing.

  This is interesting because this is the basic difference between a gamer and a golfer. Gamers go by the numbers and expect them to work. Golfers play around whatever happens.  :-)
