  Next update WGT are bringing out the no more putt option,you can buy your putts saves you time and hassle of  putting for every 1ft putt you pay 10credits all the way up to 300ft for 3000credits,it will only go to 300ft putts as it might upset some people to see a hack with a 400ft putt on there stats,what will they think of next i wonder

  Just tried it and all it did was make my meter jump on every putt (i hardly ever get meter jumps) Glad i only bought 100 of them. Gotta keep practice putting now until it runs out.

  Can't blame WGT for introducing this.  After all, how many have said they use their own version of this by either tape, ruler, etc etc....

  With it being on the meter itself just makes it cleaner.   I too have been using my own method of meter bar increment breakdown.  Some say it is cheating but come on its a computer based game,  you do what you can to be consistent.

  I look at it like a notebook for real life golfers.

  I did buy the putter pal, haven't used it yet but looking at it compared to my method of measurement, I have found out that mine was spot on in some parts but quite a bit off on other parts.

  For 50 cents I get to create a new way of measuring the meter by using the putter pal as a template.

  It will help me when I play at work,  can't tape anything to my monitor there or it will be a dead give away that I am not actually working :)

  How about blaming them for stealing it then? Sluny came up with this 2 years ago!!

   

  @ Tess-you make 99% of your putts under 18 feet anyway and you're calling this awesome? Doesn't fit.

  just used it for first time.i am another one that uses avatar movements to judge distance.just shot a 29 on back 9 of congrssional and only used the putter pal once when i needed 32 ft for distance so i simply used the 60ft scale on the rossa and went halfway plus a touch more using the pal and sank the putt.more than anything i found it a distraction especially for those 2-5 ft putts when so many times i triple checked to see if i had enough speed coz the lines on the marker on the pal are distracting as *** at the start of the takeback

  It does. She will make 99% of her putts under 36 feet now.
