    There seems to be a mentallity out there that WGT is not allowed to make money. For those that feel this way, I have a challenge. Start returning all your paychecks to your employer and see how far you get in life. My guess is that you won't even be able to afford free golf.

    This site has a thing called VEM which makes the game harder for you as you improve so you "won't get bored" but it is really so the owners can get more money out of you

    I just spent another 15 bucks on a couple of hybirds,  wedge, and a dozen balls. I would guestimate that would put me around  400 bucks spent on this damn game, if not more.

    I think WGT is responsible for about 25% of these issues.    The other 75% is due to the faulty signal that travels from my brain to my finger.   I believe this is true for most of us.

    precisely. But I think it is closer to 15% WGT and 85% me.

    Great game, great stat work, great comment. It is what it is; love or leave it.

    This is a virtual online golf game, it has inconsistencies. Why are some members reluctant to say so?

    I love this game just like everyone else and do for many reasons, but to defend it's inconsistencies is a true lack of reality.

    People are still entitled to their opinion in this country and shouldn't be ridiculed for it.

    If it looks like a rose and smells like a rose, it's probably a rose.

    Norm, I am not the smartest person in the world, but in all due respect to you, I think you miss the point when you come up with that argument.

    I did not ask WGT to give me this game for free. I would be thrilled to pay a one time price for the game, or a monthly service fee to use the sight. They offered this game for free because it was beta, and they wanted feed back as to how the game plays. Meanwhile they decided not to make it free by selling you avatar clothing, balls, clubs and anything else they can think of. They decided to continue to try and upgrade you and for all that, if you are playing for free, or if you have purchased $400 of equipment, you are entitled to ask for the bugs to be worked out. Now if they were only bugs, that might be acceptable, but when you have a meter that is capable of doing anything, then free or not, that is not acceptable. I have only posted one time on this forum, but I read it like the bible every morning. Some of you are what I would call "in the pocket of WGT" and that is ok,  we pick our friends and sometimes we get stuck with them. I know those friends of WGT will see this and go into their 4 act play. Meanwhile, WGT you owe it to your non paying and paying players to correct the meter problem, because without that fix, none of us will know how much skill we have.

    I have sent e mails to WGT for a more serious problem,and they show that they do not want to correct the problem. At this time you have hacks and ams playing for credits, and they have as little as 2 games to give them their status, but they have 50+ match games, and a winning percentage of 65 to 75%. They lure you in with their 124 avg, and they are beating masters in the match games. I have sent 3 e mails stating the names. The best I have received is "we will look into it" and the last one was "we are sending him a warning" Since that warning, he has continued to "steal" without any WGT interference.  

    I know that this is off topic, but it is in a way on topic. That being that WGT seems not to care about the current group of people that either play for free, or are paying customer.

    Lets just get that out of the way right off the bat.

    So far so good...So whats the problem?

    Ok,I think right here is where your getting confused.WGT does not have people that show up at your door and drag you into your computer room and force you to BUY anything.

    They do provide a Free golf game with the option to buy better equipment,key word there being "OPTION".
