  I wAs playing when it truly was just a beta game trying to get off the ground, all the promising and all the so called fixes that were supposed to be done 9 years ago have NEVER happened.

  if you don't see any difference in this game pre 2010 and now, that is all you needed to say!

  Your clubs and that alone explain the reason for the post, in fact allllll the WHAA WHAA posts you have made over the last 10 yrs....

  by the way, love the 3rd wood from those tee's

  Me, not you, Robert, Yankees or the other have been with this game longer than me. 

  I wAs playing when it truly was just a beta game trying to get off the ground, all the promising and all the so called fixes that were supposed to be done 9 years ago have NEVER happened. While I give credit for fixing glitches with the meter and what was constant meter lag, there is no reason that WGT cannnot invest the money to improve. 

  There are plenty of reasons WGT will not make every little "fix" or suggestion from every player that has registered. but the primary reason is $$$$$.  If WGT thought a change would make enough money (adequate ROI), they would make the change.  If they don't see a good ROI, they won't and don't.  Quite simple.  They are not your Mom - they won't change their mind based on additional complaining.

  Starting in this game does not give you any special insight into the game - you have played about 3 months worth of the game since that time.  Every other player in this thread has played immensely more than you have.  People started giving good advice before your snark and bad-mouthing turned them off.

  I highly recommend you play on a regular basis for several months - particularly focusing on practice.  That is where I learned more about the game and why my stats, though not great, continue to get better.  You can also learn more about the mechanics of the game from reading these forums - searching for the suggestions from players on putting, bunker and rough play, accounting for wind (distance and drift), and any other area.  SEARCH is your friend here, take advantage of it.

  If after a few months of regular play you don't enjoy it, then find something else to spend your time on.  Life is too short to waste time on things that are unproductive and/or distasteful.

  My point is, do a search for this guy YJ with his 12k + posts.  Flames people over and over again and WGT lets him get away with it. over and over again.

  
  Feel free to do that search and by all means, come up with a valid example of whatever point it is you're trying to make. I'll wait.

  What a silly point. 10+ years in the game and you've managed almost 6 rounds a year!! Wow, so much golf played that it really qualifies your expert, veteran experience.

  So was I and yes they did, you just don't come around often enough to see nor do you even attempt to apply yourself. You simply don't apply yourself and look really idiotic trying to make points having nothing to back it up. Try applying yourself, put in some time, play some real rounds and then come back.

  I doubt that'll happen. See you next ignorant rant. Maybe team up with Twedlake and make a team assault.  LOL

  And yet again you single handily prove my point about posters such as your self. You need only to look in the mirror for the real problems on these forums. You and your so called buddy’s never offered any help from my first post. You and your buddy’s started with your smart butt comments about how great you are and how stupid I am. Please keep proving my point and hopefully the mods will open there eyes to the real problems in here, namely you and your buddy’s !

  Discretion is the better part of valor.

  Reacting ( particularly in this manner) 

  Reduces your stature ..Taking the high ground would only highlight character

  Yet ,you feel compelled to act in kind.

  Being on such a defensive begs the question.

  Is there validity in  what is said?

  If you defuse a bomb beforehand then there is nothing to be said or done.

  No attack here but this thread has gone from WGT and putting to the usual suspects once again derailing a thread on their own egotistical behalf

  We all see this happen time and time again.

  personally I find it tedious and extremely boring.

  Hugs

  Yes, it is, until you're confronted with your basic ignorance in which case it becomes a case of "shall I dignify the claim with a response" or ignore it for the sheer ignorance of it?  I chose to submit to the mood I'm in and act accordingly.

  In this case, the apparent ignorance of Twedlake  is obvious and I chose to call him out as a wannabe and total loser. LOL

    p.s., And he can take his newfound buddy in  Jason and do their dance on Main St, USA.  :-D

  lol.. who's whining now?  yep YOU, this was done 2 pages back but you being YJ, just won't let it go because of your own ignorance and arrogance hiding behind that keyboard; i call that a keyboard jockey.  All talk and nothing to back it up.  I assure you, the things you say and the way you act would not be tolerated anywhere else on a REAL and properly moderated forum.
