  Why would someone need a mobile emulator ?

  No smart phone. Video credits, to the tune of 360 a day. I could get more if I were so dedicated.

  I am wondering what some of the real golf course owners or managers would think if they came in and read all of this negativity and of all the problems we have with this online golf game. Might make them think twice about allowing their golf course to become a part of WGT/Top Golf. Just a thought.

  Are you suggesting that players tone down their "negativity"? I hope not, because WGT needs to know that players aren't happy when almost every time there is a downtime, more problems are often the result.

  Just thinking out loud.

  Did not sound that way to me. What I read was a legitimate concern that the owners or BoD's of courses such as Merion, Beth, Pebble, etc. hold their courses and the game of golf to a very high standard and WGT is obviously lacking in that department. It could cause those making the decisions to think twice about renewing contracts that allow their courses to be here. Do we really know for sure why Oakmont disappeared? If WGT cannot adequately represent the high standards of a course, then why would the course want to be here?

  There you go, my thoughts exactly and also why would Augusta National or some of the other great courses even consider coming on board here if they see all these problems here?

  Excellent points, I think what threw us, Ladychipper, was your comment about "negativity".There are a few of us who try to keep the forums lighthearted, informative, and even humorous at times. This has become increasingly difficult for us to do with almost every update from WGT / Topgolf causing problems they are either incapable or unwilling to fix. They arrogantly roll out "updates" without proper testing, and, when problems arise (which they almost always do ), instead of simply going back to a "saved" point, they continue with their insanity and rely on user workarounds. Unfortunately, this has been their game plan since I joined back in 2011. It's kinda hard to put a smiley face on that. Doc :(

  Another thing thats concerning is things like apparel gear, that they use on mobile. We got to at least try to keep it as realistic as possible.
