  Playing a $20 ready go, you shouldn't have to put up with 125 yard PW travelling 127 yards in 15 mph headwind!  And on par #3, 11th, you shouldn't have to put up with caddy messing up a hole after you scroll from 190 yard iron to 175 yard iron, take shot, only for ball to land beyond green, a shot of 198 yards, obviously been taken with 190 iron NOT 175. The meter skip i got on 18th to miss easy birdie putt i will forgive because its down to internet bandwidth wgt can't do much about it (or they can and don't care).

  $1 ready go's you can ignore stuff like that (although frustrating, was only a $1, but after forking out $20 in a ready go that you need all the birdies you can get, and even then might only get $10 back(lol) we could do with having consistent round because every shot counts and if the first shot i mentioned was down to deviation, then it should be banned in the high stakes ready go as it should be down to our skill, not wgt dictating our shots, but if it was a genuine bug with wind, fair enough, but try and give us accurate readings PLEASE!  As for the caddy would it be better to click on the club selection rather than scrolling?? if this seems to be happening now and again, not just with me, but with several members.

  (and the constant headwind i seemed to be getting especially on holes like #14 was like kicking a guy when he's down,lol, but i was one of the ones who wanted wind to be random..lol, so i'll leave it at that....)

  There should be no deviation at all in any game - we have the 'forgiveness' area and precision, that should be enough, if you ding with high precision clubs you should be in the circle, not have some random factor also influence your shot

  And yep, even moderate winds at St Andrews can have a big impact on whether or not you are making money or not, I know you advocated random, but if you loose enough because you got the lousy windset maybe you'll come over to the dark side who want the same wind for all lol

  As a 'random wind' supporter, would you tell anyone the wind directions in a 2K RG after you've played if it became the same for all rounds?

  I would like to know what causes this. I see it too and it does leave you scratching your head. Is it from playing too fast? Does it have something to do with that other complaint about the spin off drives? How in the world can you know if the club you changed to was registered by the game? 

  A nice game option would be to be able to turn the caddie completely off. Eliminate all of the information in the lower left corner and just make it choices you have to scroll through.

  I believe this is a No Spin Glitch that makes it seem like we chose the wrong Iron. I realized this when a tee shot on Cong. #13 landed above hole and bounced on 20 yards past pin (was a fun putt). Did not change my club for caddy to choose wrong Iron. This has happened too many times now for it to be brushed off. Sadly, we all are being ignored about this.

  Yes..perfect..no caddy, we get to select what shot to use, ful swin constant, up to us to change to pitch when we need it. But its definitely down to caddy not registering club change whilst we scroll, maybe its done to quickly, i don't know. (just like if you select no trugolf courses on game menu and go back to quickly it doesn't register and you still get taken to cabo whilst looking for game, but if you wait untill the no turns to grey, then try and find round, it works, and you dont get taken to cabo.

  In future i'm going to select by using club selection box & pressing button rather than scrolling, but its a hard habbit to break.lol

  F.Doc, i changed down to 175 iron, but did not use spin at all, and with side wind, just a touch under full power usually will get me within 4 yards, but to see the ball flying behind green to 199 yards was obvious that caddy hadn'r registered my club, EVEN THOUGH i had double checked after scrolling to see the 175 in the club selected box.
