  One of the main things is not choice it's 45 seconds and the green speed is not shown until you reach the green. I played a TL today in a club 3 hole stroke game and we were on 7.4 greens. You do not have a clue what the green speed is until one of the players reach the green. The approach shot responds differently on green speed when hitting a shot to the green

  Would like to see a little more response on the things us pc players really care about which is how the game plays, the ding size, the forgiveness on iron shots, woods and drivers... Number 1 being the dot speed on greens.

  I'm worried that the priority is to get the mobile game play to work and the actual game play doesn't match. Think that will be a problem.

  Here, here!

  Lots of good comment and info here. It's always interesting to see how soon any forum discussion degrades into back and forth name calling.

  As a country club owner I am unsure of WGT's intentions for the tablet functionality vs the browser. Will all the country club browser functions still be available after Flash dies? There are some differences that I have observed. The Chat function in the tablet version is confusing to me. Is this supposed to take the place of the Club Messages? It doesn't seem to have the same function to me. Also, I don't find the ability to send emails to all members in the tablet version. When you click on the club forum in the tablet version, it just takes you to the browser page. Is this the long term intention?

  I have noticed that besides all the game play issues mentioned before here, all my WGT apparel that I spent many $$ on is gone in the tablet version. This is pretty intolerable.

  Somehow tablet players and browser players (I would call them "purists") need to be able to coexist. Hopefully WGT will listen to the players that supported this game in its early days. Browser players need the game play they have come to enjoy. We need our apparel. We need all of our cc functions. Most of us purists are probably NOT interested in game play that includes hats that add yards to clubs, etc, etc. Tablet players like their game with all it's bells and whistles. Fine. Just please WGT save the game as we know it for us purists.

  There is a lack of dignity in the presentation of the mobile game.  The aesthetic is juvenile. It's like I'm playing a kid's game rather than a proper e-sport of WGT/digital golf.

  If we look like a cartoon and a kid's game, that's how it will be seen.    Imagine us on Golf Channel.   That needs to be the goal.

  But the avatars, the avatar faces are less human and much anime in style, the gimmicks, the coins, coin room, the shirt that makes you hit farther or what have you

  We need an e-sports feel on the new PC standalone.

  MGB01:

  my no 1 concern is dot speed.......it is way off....you need to relearn how to read break from the flash version..

  I agree although I don't think the dots are necessarily way off. My impression is that the dots are slower but the breaks are proportionately slower, too. 

  Just wondering how you came to this conclusion Jim? If you watched that video I posted here, it clearly shows on 2 occasions the dots being just plain inaccurate although I will concede that some of the putts were just half the speed of the flash greens, and in this case it is learnable. But there is definitely an issue with greens pertaining to larger breaking putts.

  Nothing empirical, just an impression. I put 1/10th of the effort into understanding that you do.  ;-)

  Absolutely.

  A lot will need to happen for me to play this version! It's very bad in its current state.
