Annoying bugs

  I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing any of these issues, or if they have ever been addressed until now but here goes.

   

  I generally hit the ball as low as possible therefore giving me the highest trajectory possible.  Randomly, and more so on a couple specific holes (Hole 6 Kiawah, Hole 6 Bethpage, and Hole 12 Bethpage), I will hit the ball as low as possible and the ball with start at a normal trajectory, causing the ball to not clear the sand on hole 6 at kiawah, bethpage 12, and will land in the rough/weeds on bethpage 6.  It will only do this some of the time, but I think the glitch in the trajectory has to do with aiming away from the middle of the fairway and attempting to shortcut the hole slightly to achieve maximum distance on the drives.

   

  Also, when joining games i noticed that if someone "declines" to join the game, they will stay froze on some peoples screens.  This is fine until the host clicks "tee off", then whoever had the frozen player on their screen, the game will not load.  Is something being done about this?  Thank you for your time.

  Hi

  It happens to me too. The backspin issue I suspect is when I aim too quickly and it just  not registering correctly. Ever since that happened, I been aiming more precise and have not had that issue since

  The second issue, I am not sure if it's a problem. Just click remove player and try again

  We shouldn't need to remove player, it's a problem with the software, and happens EVERY time someone declines an invitation.  It is very, very, VERY annoying.  Yes, I know, so am I, and you are quick to fix that!  So how about fixing the real problems for the million or so customers you say you have.

  And as for the 'aiming too quickly", you what???

  What he means Icon, is that when you set an Alt Shot game up and you have a player that declines , he or she will go red with an excuse , the initial invitee  or creator of the game will remove that player and invite another but the other 3 players still see the red decline from player invite 1

  WGT just try harder to fix the little problems that annoy every player on this

  site and we'll have more time to play and less time to complain. You know

  what we are talking about, time to get it fixed. Some things come naturally,

  but I believe some things are just being ignored for the sake of profit.

  WGT you are not listening, too many excuses and not enough fixes.

  While I would agree that there are not enough fixes... I don't see a lot of excuses given by WGT on these boards or elsewhere.

  None of it is of any interest to WGT... they've had these meter problems for months now and have made NO noticeable improvement despite numerous complaints from me and I'm aware of many many others. They have time to make new clubs so we can spend more money... they delight in screwing you out of $3 balls so you have to go get more...

  as someone mentioned earlier, it's near impossible to get an alt shot game going and all they do is send out some halfassed note saying maybe you should tweak your computer. My computer works just fine EVERYWHERE but here. I've lost 2 balls today and if I run out b4 they get off their butts. I swear I'm gonna remove the game!
