There again, the game is rigged to throw balls into "lost ball" areas with the slightest error on the meter, or have you never noticed? I've even hit the pin on the 1st hole at St Andrew's only to watch it go all the way back into the Swilken Burn. It's pathetic really.
Even worse if you've actually played St Andrew's for real as I have myself. When your ball goes into the burn for real you simply jump down into the shallow water and pick it up again. No lost ball drama.
I've even lost two in two shots. Ball one dropped into the water just short of safety then played 8 yards extra on the 2nd attempt only to see it drop even further back in the water. As I said, it's rigged to take your ball.
It's just WGT sheer greed for money. Fleece the players at every opportunity is the creed here. May look like good business to screw the customers but I just wonder how many players have given up WGT after being cheated out of a ball. To lose years of player investment in the desperation to force them to pay for another sleeve is short sighted but you can't actually get that through to their customer services who are the most useless, dumbest CSR's I've ever encountered. Try them, you'll see for yourselves.
I hear you ask, so why you still on here? Just running down my credits then I'm offski. Yet another customer lost over greed. Go figure.
