   The new sounds are just the first implementation of them. we have additional ones to put in and will look at doing so in upcoming releases.

  Might I ask...............................Why?

  Only one addition is needed here for non-idiots: a slider to turn the jerk off.

  And when do I get off the moderation? Before I leave the game because of these "updates", or not?

  WGTicon:

  New Game Sounds – Keep your ears open for new game sounds in stroke play games, giving you feedback like cheering you on, providing some applause or maybe even some taunting to keep you sharp! Note, you can always choose to turn these sounds on or off in your Game Settings under “Celebrations.”

  The first time i heard it today it scared the crap out of me. I thought Yancy was behind me watching. Everything seemed to work fine for me today though. no stutter and or lag. Keep up the good work WGT. I appreciate the effort and time you all put in over there in Sunny California.

  So in the upcoming releases can we look forward to the sound of a mobile (cell) phone ringing and/or the sound of a camera shutter just before the ding line to try and distract us?

  Obviously some are concerned with other things than these sounds, and may even find them just a nuisance.  With current game client limitations demanding flash clears please keep off buttons to a sensible number.  One more to switch off OK, but could soon start adding up.........Not a big deal and great to keep it that way.

  So I don't gripe  much about changes cause I guess I've not got nuked. Well I'm nuked on this update.

  Issues are but not limited too, meter not releasing after dragging to desired spot. If meter releases its not showing true location of my click, I guess I would say. It's like up to 1/2 inch off (past). On some swings I will drag meter and when I let go of it, I get a Flash crash.

  At this point Game is useless to me. Tried 3 clik meter but I have certain handicaps that make that adventure an exercise in futility.

  I've done all knwn repairs from Flash to cleaning and rebooting.

  WGT was T.O.D 15:00 this day in history .  R.I.P

  One of the biggest annoyances about this game at present (appart from the meter which is ridicilous - never smooth...ever) Its the CHAT BOX during multyplayer matches.  You could be typing away for ages, without noticing the cursor hasn't moved because any sort of game screen change stops the cursor and you have to physically stick your mouse back in the chat box constantly after every different camera angle.  Why not try and fix this issue - which you guys caused when you mesed around with zooms.  Most of us would prefer things like that getting sorted rather than "its in the garden spot". Where did you get that phrase??

  Can we look forward to "Go USA" or "get in the hole" after your tee shot in the next update.

  By the way, how old are the WGT programmers, idea crunchers?  have they left school?  Are they EA sport Tiger Woods players before here?

  Screw the sounds I can turn that off but it is clear the greens are slower. They have screwed up my putting costing me three strokes a round right now. Being slower the breaks are different why the F**** did they screw with that!!!

  I have never posted a thing or complained. I play every day, 185 consecutive days right now. Been playing since 2010 and this might just chase me out of this game!! How much in balls will it cost me to re-learn how to putt!
