    You need to fix your dam physics engine .... ain't no way a dam 62 yard punch shot only goes 55 yards with an 11-13 mph helping wind to a pin 1 foot down ... oh spin rate you say ... just a little touch of backspin ... DING YOU ASK? yeah I dinged the shot ... OFF THE DAM FAIRWAY?? of course ....

    I could list so many similar shots to that until I would be blue in the face ... I've had so many shots going wildly long and short distances this past couple weeks my head is spinning .... FIX YOUR TRASH GAME !!!!

    My guess is they want you to quit the game.....but more on this in a second.

    First, have you checked your flash global storage settings?  Usually if my shots get all wonky and such, that's the first thing I check.  I have found the settings returned to default for no apparent reason on a number of occasions.  Setting it to 1 MB helps me immeasurably.

    Second, WGT seems to have tweaked the trajectory on the punch shots recently.  For several weeks now I've seen my distances cut down whenever I punch with a tailwind, so much so that it's now a shot of last resort.

    But mostly, I've truly believed for a while now that myself and others are part of some sick little marketing experiment to determine just how much crap one puts up with before they hang it up & quit the game.  WGT has stated in the past that they have the ability to alter an individual's gameplay but don't.  Given their less-than-honest statements regarding disconnects, cache clears, new courses, etc, etc, I'm not sure why anyone would believe this either.  For me, its crazy that I can throw darts within 2 feet repeatedly with my L100 Vapors & a b-xd ball one round, but then can't get any shot within 10 yards with ANY ball during subsequent rounds.  Or why, after missing a putt, the read on the next putt differs completely from what was shown beyond the hole on the first attempt.  Queries to CS result in not only useless answers, but often condescending replies as well.

    Alas, I'm an addictive personality with nothing better to do most of the time so on it will go...

    Just my opinion for what it's worth.  Good luck!

    ... that is  nice thought ds ... but most likely it will fall on deaf ears ... there is another suggestion for the WGT powers ... instead of giving us that "unexpected" error trash message, why not just revise it to an "EXPECTED ERROR" as we are getting them almost every game... every game that we don't get kicked out of I should say ....

    The putting in this game is a joke, especially on Oakmont.  Never seen a course where I can routinely get it inside 10 feet, but the putting is a bleep show.  Some of those pins are a joke, but putts that show no break are moving, and those that show break don't.  I've never missed so many 8 foot putts.  And all these wonky results give you NO confidence that what you see is what you're going to get.  (it LOOKS like it's breaking to the left, but...)

        Hey Don ole buddy,

    My solution seems to work. Quit playin for an hour or two, change your avatar but most importantly check out your local sportsbet site.

    Only just long enough to place a losing bet. By this time your new avatar will adjust itself to your profile and when you restart playin again its like a breath of fresh air, putts go in and you're in a magical WGT zone.

    It works, trust me, Happy daze

    Cheers.

    What conspiracy?  Covert data manipulation by IT companies for marketing purposes is hardly a secret anymore.  I'd be stunned in fact if it weren't the rule rather than the exception these days.
