  This is quite a fun addition but could be so much better. This could have been an opportunity for some real community involvement.

  We could have been asked to come up with ideas for what comments to use. WGT could then have drawn up a list for us all to vote on*.

  The phrases in use are, well....not very good. No-one says 'in the garden spot', naff naff naff!

   

   

  *Bananas would be my vote in any poll ;)

  Good suggestion but that would involve actually listening to customers and taking customer suggestions seriously. That has never been part of WGT's philosophy as a company.

  The few times they have asked for our input on anything WGT disappeared from those threads while not even bothering thank anyone for the suggestions. And ignored all of those suggestions. They only asked in order to score brownie points for themselves by giving an appearance they were listening or actually cared what customers wanted.

  Deflecting attention instead of engaging the customers while they are failing to face up to the problems is their norm.

  My meter exploded on me at BPB today, from fairway straight into 60/70 rough (yes there is some there pft) and the bloke siply said "time to clear your cache buddy", or should have ;-)

  Nice idea, Paul.

  I allways had the oppinion that "nice miss" hits the point better than "nice try". 

  If a ball lands into the deep rough a voice could say "beware of snakes".

  A shot that lands very short could be commented with "want some steroids?"

  But like you said, "clean your cache" is the best comment after a bad shot.

  For the bad shots, they should have Don Rickles talking.
