  im playing the 15 second tournament at merion and im -3 after 3 holes - I drive on hole 4 and hit my second, and after my 3rd shot - wgt tells me the tournament is over and no longer active?

  so I quit out and restart the browser and continue the game - same result of void tourney......

  just letting wgt know...

  edit: ok that's strange - the void tourney message comes up when I try to punch and topspin my 75y wedge, but I tried hitting a 70y shot on the 75y wedge and the game continued like nothing happened!?

  edit edit: ok its doing it on hole 5 now on the second shot - tournament no longer active.

  its settled down now. lol

  Maybe it is too early for a report but just like many here I have a video hidden in my blog that should start a couple of seconds after you enter my profile.

  The issue was solved weeks ago due to an update but it seems back again. I tried to open my profile from three different browser but the hidden video don't run or has been removed the sound.

  Hope it will be solved back.

  WGTicon:

  Shot Data Panel - Check out the new Shot Data panel after all your shots (except putts) to analyze your carry, roll, spin, power and apex.

  Will help newer players or players with new clubs but as has been said it will make the game easier to learn.

  Not a good thing.

  WGTicon:

  Shot-Clock Tournaments - New option for Country Clubs to create tournaments with shot-clock timers ranging from 10 seconds (speed round!) to 45 seconds.

  Why 10-45 seconds? Why not 10-90 with 5 second increments to choose from.

  Good idea badly implemented.

  WGTicon:

  More CC Event Rewards - The top 500 country clubs in CC Events will now earn Superpasses, plus the top 3 finishing clubs will all receive additional prizes, rather than just the top finishing club.

   

  WGTicon:

  YouTube Uploads in Forums - Users were temporarily having issues uploading YouTube videos in the WGT Forum, which has now been fixed.

  It was fixed two weeks ago.

  All in all, I'm completely underwhelmed.

  So this is what Top-Golf brings us? Make a Mickey Mouse game out of WGT?

  Shot data panel?

  With every new feature like this I need more time to start a game. Cause first I have to go into options and disable driving panel, shot panel, silly talks, hio-competition and more bs that I will never need, never will use, and that only would bring me out of the ability to focusize on my shots when I let it happen.

  Shot clock tournaments, 10 - 45 seconds?

  Well, I play golf because it`s a slow game without  any hurry and "fast-fast, or the clock will bite you"! I could play other games for that, but I don`t want any rush!

  More CC events rewards?

  Give us some sleeve of balls instead of super passes or other bs noone needs. May be that could help to save this allmost dead cc-clash-money-grab-desaster.

  I really try not to complain too much, cause I don`t like all that WGT-bashing that is to read in forums much to often. I am not so frustrated of my results for that. But...

  ... This time I have to say: Goal not reached, go back to start and have another try.

  Perhaps they should consult with club owners and see what they would like to see introduced, many of them have a good knowledge of the game and what their members would like from the game. Now thats a radical idea !! 

  What, like the Bank

  Since the update, my scorecard while playing tourneys etc has reverted to the small size that it was last year !

  Me too, back to the Right Click and Show All workaround I guess.  : (

  Your video now appears to be in an iframe Fraenkel, which means it will not work. You will have to delete it and repost. Let me know if you want any assistance with that. : )
  
  

  YouTube videos in WGT land are now HTML5 and not flash anymore.

  Baby steps perhaps , But in the right direction !   Would like to see the top 10 get prizes ..
