  Make it four.

  Best way to enjoy this game is avoid any thing involving money and just play with your friends in multi player games.I found that out in very beginning and at peace for sure.

  Think whats going on doing here is the same what i have been seeing in games from childhood.Mostly games come in modes like Easy,medium,hard,Very hard.The difference is here its  not us players who are choosing which to play.

  I commented privately a couple of days to one of my Legend friends about this. I would be 7 under after the front nine, make the turn, couldn't hit a fairway, made GIR impossible. Total disaster on back 9. Would end up with bogies or worse. He said it wasn't me, it was the game. This happened several times. Was just playing full 18 stroke by myself, but still it is frustrating. Same with several AS games. I would shoot a couple of rounds by myself, shoot 5-6 under. Get an AS going and all of a sudden I would look like I have never played on here before. Makes you wonder for sure.

  Im with you guys on this one i didn,t want to complain in the forums as i get even more annoyed with people jumping down my throat if i do , but i see what you mean bogeybuster yesterday for example had a great front 9 playing great 9 under on the front 9 back 9 hitting the ding ball stops 15yrds from hole & many lip outs 2 from less than 6yrds & i played it the way i always do & it goes in ! Next game playing crap missing the ding as im so annoyed about the last game & hey ball keeps landing right next to the hole even though it was a terrible shot ? WGT decides were the ball goes we just try to aim in the right direction ! lol Only games i play for credits now is matchplay challenge as in RGS you get screwed & skins well we all know about that ROBBED ! Only reason i play matchplay for credits is to pay for balls if everyone did the same they might take us more seriously & fix all the broken others *** that happens so often !   cheers & happy new year all ! smoke.

  Another $$ match decided by WGT and not me.  Aim right for the 16 mph right left wind i have in a challenge match, ball lands bang on my aim point and left me with 7 yard putt which i miss and loose $5.  No Wind!.  Its got to the point now that i cant be bothered with this inconsistant game which IT decides on the outcome and not your skill. If it wasn't for the $400 worth of credits i have i think i would have quit playing ages ago, but i feel i'm stuck now untill i can get a gift card to at least get some $$ back out.  Why doesn't WGT introduce a 80,000 credit gift card for $125 instead of the 160,000 for $250 which is only thing on offer.

  TWOMINUSONE:

  You ever get the feeling that you know what kind of round you are going to have before you play it?

  About a week ago - hole 9 at KI, a hole that im not particularly fond of, i was getting that feeling. Remember clearly thinking to myself before I played the approach that if I hit it even 90% perfect its going in the hole. Had just been one of those games...

  Set the shot up, dinged it, and hey presto an eagle. I swear down that as the ball was flying I knew it was going in the hole lol....stuck in my mind since then.

  Paranoid me? - never.

  When we play CTH rds we get a heartbeat as soon as we click the mouse ,, so this tells us that WGT knows where our ball is going as soon as we make contact. How can they determine this if the ball is not even in the air yet? hmmmm. 

  As with others ,,I am glad its just not me that plays frt nines well and gets rooked on back nines. 

  I don't post much but I have played over 1600 ranked rds.

  Doesn't the games shot randomness program increase in difficulty as the eagles and birdies keep falling in the cup?

  I've started out making pars on any course and by the sixth or seventh hole, the ball starts holding the line better on dinged and missed dinged shots with the ball landing closer to the hole with better consistency.

  Is this the program at work, or just a coincidence?

  To save my sanity, I quit playing ready-go's a month ago when I finally came to the realization that your luck-of-the-draw has just as much, if not more, impact on your score as does your shot selection / shot making. Just got sick of throwing credits at a crap-shoot, with every shot being like a lottery ticket. Just yesterday, playing the 18 hole single play weekly... -7 on the front nine, back nine it just completely fell apart. Two drives that took off directly into 20ish mph cross-winds ending up in the 40/50, and four putts (with plenty of pace) just hitting a wall 0.2 feet from the hole. Not bad shots, just unexplainable results. Thankfully I wasn't out anything and was able to walk away laughing after 17.

  I wrote this post to prove a point.   Of course the regulars come out.  

  Did you really read my post?   Or only the part at the beginning with the rant, and then continue on your own rant.  

  b0geybuster:

  This RG was insane, average front nine balls going closer to the hole then expected on miss hits none the less, balls going in on clearly poor shots and yardage selection.

  I was very excited a 25 from the legend tees.

  Plain and simple, front nine, dinging nearly 100% and 100% of the putts, coupled with a good wind set, bam 25.  Back nine started out ok, then to be honest was getting a little excited, ended up in bunker on 16 was happy to save par and then lipped 17, and completely ruined 18.

  My meter is fine, my loading issues are fine.   You guys kill me.

  If you miss the ding all bets are off,
