  WGT, what's up with the 1 hole stroke plays?  You just ruined the game experience for me.

  Bring back the 3 hole and 9 hole stroke plays.  This update is ridiculous!

  No way it’s great! If you want a 9hole play Shanghai.  This evens it out if someone’s a sandbagged since it’s only one hole you could easily birdie along with the sandbagged and then play closet to the hole.  The 3hole was taking too long  with the clock becuz you had  morons timing out on every shot.  Good work WGT!

  This is one of the worst examples of greed I have ever seen.  This is nothing but a ploy to get more money out of the users of this app.  This was once a great experience that has been completely ruined by WGT's greed.  Not only that, but they have taken all of the fun out of playing on their app.  With the 1 hole games, it's now a matter of who makes a mistake.  Basically a coin flip at this point.  With 3 holes a player could recover from a poor shot.  Not now!  A match can NOT be decided in one hole.  WGT only wants more passes and coins used as a faster rate.  Speakong as a member of a country club on this game, it has also made recruiting new members nearly impossible.  WGT needs to realize that other golf apps are available and I WILL make the switch if this greed continues.  I am a member of a 140 member top country club who's other members real exactly the same way I do.  Change the format back or you stand to lose a lot of players and a lot of revenue.  We are NOT all so addicted or too invested to make a change!  Your business model is horrible and has exposed your true colors to many of the very customers who have made you successful.  Shame on you!!!

  As a 1 year player on this game, I am very disappointed in the greed you people have shown with this latest update.  I will be looking at other golf apps and making a change if you choose to keep this format!  Whichever member of your team who thought this change was a good idea, should be fired immediately.  They stand to cost you enormous amounts of revenue and could cause the entire downfall of what was once a great app.

  100% agree with you they'v ruined this game - and with it the social aspect, now you can't even get to know your playing partner, which is one thing i miss already, you can'treally chat over a a one hole shoot out.

  you know the main reason they did it? someone who works there figured out a way of squeezing more ads in - they figured most players in these rooms don't pay for gears on the whole so make them watch more ads before each game, faster games equals more ads -WGT are greedy and it isall about the money for them - as if there not rich enough!

  i've suspected WGT has been rigged in match play for a long time i'v seen too many weird things hapen - and i say as much when i play - the other week i missed a putt where the ball was hanging over the hole - go figure that one - i'm sure someone who disagree's will be able to answer it.

  Fake wind's, unrealiable clubs (yeh you ever noticed one club keeps letting you down) to make you head for the pro shop and spend more coin - then another club starts letting you down, putts that break toooo much, shots that just don't make sense even though you hit them right, high useless angles, ect ect i could go on.

  Great game but cetain aspects are rigged - you have to ask youself do we play the game or does the game play us and if you feel like the game plays you, it's a rigged game, - it has to be or people would quit, loose interest.

  The problem is - golf is a honest game in real life, i'm not so sure if it can be turned into an honest game - even though WGT have done an amazing job.
