So frustrating

  WGT continues to make no sense.  How can I play a tournament and shoot 6 or 7 under par rather easily, then immediately after play another tournament  with 2 bogeys and 4 birdies in 18 holes?  Five birdie putts under 10 feet either lipped out or even missed the hole by 3 or 4 inches.  What can possibly cause this?  And is there anything I can do change it?

  Practice Practice Practice. Sounds like more practice is needed on your putting. I know I need to practice more. Cheers

  I feel your pain buddy. One round I can shoot like FMagnets and the next like a level 5 Hack, lol. Consistency is hard to come by around here these days but what can ya do, grind it out and play for another day.

  Feel relieved. You're not alone going through it.

  FYI, that's what VEM does to you. Good luck and play well.

  I blame it on old age. Reflexes and vision are shot. Besides that I manage to regularly putt on the wrong scale so that those 20 foot putts go all of twelve feet. 

  But when the next morning rolls around I attack the course again. Unfortunately I make the same mistakes. Guess that what the experts call consistency. 

  We must live in he same world.

  As a matter of fact, wgt has already admitted all the above. They have said that they can manipulate EVERYTHING anytime they want. The only question posted was: Do you believe us when we say we don't do it?

  I leave the response to the players...

   

  As for the so called ''arc of precision'' and various other theories about this game, i leave them to those who believe in boogie man...

  Yes, I remember reading this somewhere in the forums, too. And I wanna believe WGT when they say they don't. I really do.

    I really do believe that they are manipulating the meter in the flash version right now !  They want us all to switch over to the PCEA  and what better way to do it than make the meter sputter! My meter on flash is so bad its unplayable.    I was going to quit but then for some reason I was able to down load the PCEA version after many tries. Low and behold, the meter in the new version is pretty smooth  I guess I won't have to quit--for now! LOL

  Have a covid free day!!          Gary
