  How is it on woolf creek if i hit a rock, ball re bounds anywhere, but when theres a stone wall, ball goes straight through to OOB.  Shouldn't ball hit wall and come back...thiefs..lol

  camera angle 3

  this caused me to go from a score of -13 and top of leaderboard in country club tourney, and winning 700, to getting -9 and winning F'K ALL!

  And after re-starting tourney, how can a wedge shot wich is 30 yards from pin, i go over halfway on meter, 17 mph tailwind and i go 10 yards into burn.  How many times do i have to mention this, theres a BUG with the 5hit caddy if he offers you pitch, then you change to full swing, shots are not right, caddy still thinks you're pitching.  HOW CAN A SHOT GO 10 YARDS with 17 mph tailwind and over halfway on meter.  TRY IT.

  2 BALLS in 2 minutes, get your damn revenue somewhere else WGT because stealing our balls is a pi55 take!!!!!

  And also, why does wind effect the ball on one hole, then when you have important shot, maybe to go top of leaderboard, 20 mph sidewind doesn't effect the ball at all?

  WGT please give me an answer to this wind issue because it is one of the major flaws of the game.

  Looks like #17 at SA.

  I think Chris meant why don't balls bounce off the walls @ St. Andys like they do off rocks at Wolf Creek lol. It's a shame really as I've wanted for some time to try that shot @ 17 where you hit the ball off the wall and back on to the green. Like Jimenez did last year in the open.

  The strange thing about that wall is I've gone through it and had it deemed out of bounds, then on another round pitched over it and was allowed to play my next shot.

  They will never answer to thief in spite of how correct the statement might be. In real golf I have hit the ball in the weeds and was able to find it and hit it out. Here you hit in the weeds and they take your ball.

  Yes that's what i meant, they've programmed it so if you hit a rock i.e the bunker shot over creek on #6, if you hit a stone, you hear a ping and ball bounces where ever it feels like landing, quite realistic actually, but a 4 foot high STONE WALL, the ball goes straight through, conveniently into OOB.

  But this is clearly OOB but get to carry on with my shot, i know its leveling things out and i should be happy, but please be consistant in taking our balls LOL

  Quoting the CEO of WGT....we are all part of the "micro transaction business model".

  The more inconsistent the game is, the more money they make in the pro shop....it's that simple.

  Personally i think the caddy should retrieve oob balls. WGT needs to hire a scuba diver to retrieve our in the water balls too. I'm tired of the thievery!

  WGT = profit ...means we play golf here.

  WGT = loss .... means we watch TV.
