Played the par 5 high wind and went a perfect 7-for-7 on getting 20-30 mph headwinds on every hole before the inevitable WD... blow it out your ass, wgt, or whatever you're called... new owners, same ***... FIX THE WIND 'RANDOMIZER THING.

Get over it,

You could have a terminal illness,

Maybe, and I mean only maybe, then you can complain.

It is what it is,

ENJOY it while it lasts.

CHEERS.

CMcCartney727:

Quite high if you won recently......IMO.

Sometimes the cards fall your ways, usually the other...like a casino. Accept that fact or do not play. Yes it is frustrating, but it will not change.

Looking at your earnings....a few have fallen your way

Last night I had tailwinds on most every hole... averaged 320 off the tee and I came in 2nd. By far the most favorable round I've had in a high wind tourney.

So, of course, tonight I get 10 straight head winds...average driving distance for the first 10 holes is 279, and I haven't come close to reaching any of the holes in 2...lol. Managing to be -9 through 10 holes, but don't expect that to continue.

I have been playing this game for a long time and I play RG's a lot. I'm not even sure I've won more than I've lost, to be honest. I don't claim to be great at this- I don't practice or keep notes, which you really need to do to be consistently good. It can be a source of frustration, which probably says more about me than it does the game ;)

LOL I did say a few!

I too do not keep notes....I am sure I would be considerably better if I did, but play for fun, good or bad.

Like a casino.....the house always wins in the long term. I would not expect WGT to be different.

On WGT, the house wins by virtue of a cut, but perhaps the "average players" get the cards falling your way to keep them interested. Even a poor player like me can shoot well occasionally, get the right winds most holes and a badly missed ding lands 5 feet from the hole when it probably should be OB. Game of skill indeed.

That is why I have always found the "game of skill" somewhat of a joke when you can be seriously handicapped and others don't.

I don't gamble!
