  Well, yes its awesome, but do you have this option in real golf ? no. I think it takes away the realsim of real golf, which I think WGT has done such a good job of doing. The aid you use to set up the putt is good enought. But will I use this latest putting aid..............maybe  lol.

  Thanks Dianne for the link. It will help a lot of players, including me. LOL

   I am a mug then, yes it would be great if free...   at .003 cents per putt bought in bulk of 1000 , it would cost me about 3.00  a month for the putter pal. Now  I can pull my unsightly piece of scotch tape off my monitor with little dots on it. 

  This is especially helpful for new players who can print off a spreadsheet with putting distances, and advance much more quickly.

  Just tried it, and while its a bit confusing at first, it is helpful.

  By the way, it should be free, and it should be available for every shot.

  Feel i've just been exploited - again!

  Is anyone else thinking that by spending your credits on this putter pal that just maybe a few of those putts that would normally lip out might just drop in and vice versa if you haven't got putter pal you may get more lip outs.

  Putter pal is a nice thought, but I believe many like myself have already adopted such stratagies long ago. I have 3 marks on my computer screen that tell me everything I need to know for all putter scales and even check-down wedge shots. Think I'll have to pass on this but great for newbies looking to lower their scores with the flat stick.

  AWESOME IDEA!!!!   Id pay 10 credits for use of Ball retriever to reclaim my brand new callaway I just sent out of bounds or into a hazard. 

  Heck , in between rounds, Id fish loads of virtual calls out of the pond with a virtual ball retriever and clean them up with my virtual bucket and virtual bleach. ( provided also at nominal fee)

   

  While we are on it, I would pay 2000 credits for a virtual chainsaw to cut down trees on # 2 Bethpage and #4 Congressional.... just say'n

   

  1  draw for me is I'm a shopper, and when updates happen, rush in to see what is available. Now at lvl 90, I dont get to unlock any new goodies to buy when achieving a new level. If they created a driver that only went 1 yrd further for 10.00, Id be one of first in line.

    I'd love to create a new account, not to play for credits or against others, but just so I can get the excitement of awards popping up (hamandegg award rocks!) when i do something, and to buy new clubs as they unlock!  ( Im only 1000 hole in 1's away from my Crystal HOI award)

  Ive played wgt or been in a wgt related chatroom over 1000 hrs this year ( obsessed anyone)  Total out of pocket is still less, than 1 overnight trip, or day on boat. Some  complain that WGT is too expensive, but it has saved my family household budget THOUSANDS of unspent EBAY dollars!!! lol Its not about what you spent, its about what you saved.......RIGHT?

  In Smiles per $$ spent, wgt is one of best deals going

  Just tried it, not a fan at all, I'm already accustom to putting so the extra lines on my meter only serves as a distraction to me.

  I would like the lines to be a tad fluorescent,They need to stay in the background a tad more,It can be slightly off putting when the meter is traveling through the lines,,So make it fluorescent WGT and you have a winner in my book,:)
