  Had a major issue loading the screen after you already loaded the game,It took me to a white screen with the WGT logo and would not load the game after.So....If this happens,clear your Flash cache,cookies,and all your internet sites visited and what not.My mistake was trying to play right away after I did that without restarting my computer,the meter was a nightmare in a way it didnt matter where I clicked,it wouldnt respond until about a quarter inch later so I was late on every swing.So if you clear everything,make sure to restart your cpu after.   99.9% of the time everyone blames WGT,chances are its your CPU trust me.Hope this helps out some of you.

  Good info, never thought to restart the computer after clearing things out.

  Actually, closing your browser and reopening it would be more than enough to fix this problem. The only good that restarting your computer would do is killing processes that are slow down the memory access.

  Total ignorance, your cpu does not need "clearing out", maybe your RAM does once in awhile, but in this case, total placebo effect.

  There was definitely an issue because I had the exact same things on 2 different browsers trying to load  a CC tournament to play.  It went on for over an hour then finally cleared up.   I got the same WGT screen with the clocking icon that would never open the game.

  Let me say this is a great game i love it but........ why do we have to do cartwheels and give away our firstborn in order to play? I rarely have a meter problem but there are many others that do,all you hear is that its our fault our puter well maybe they should put out a product that is not in BETA for 5 years.No other games i have played requires such manipulation to play just saying .

  I'm with you mrenn on clearing out browser cookies and cache in a more timely manner. And clearing the disc and temp files is a good idea too.

  Last night I was playing a CC tournament at Kiawah and it had been a few weeks since I cleared my Firefox cache. I start to notice my clubs having no precision or forgiveness as well with the putter. Putts were not tracking to the hole, shots were flying off the target line, no matter how much I dinged a shot including putts.

  So I shot a 32 on the front nine and was noticing inconsistencies, but not with things like camera views, and the loading times were great too. I loaded another game and shot a 33 all along thinking there wasn't something right. Then it dawned on me to clear my cache that had 810 MB of files in it. I loaded a third game and shot a 29 with ease. The clubs precision and forgiveness returned and they held the line perfectly, even on missed ding hits. I could of shot a 28, but I missed a off-ding seven foot putt on hole eight.

  I wouldn't rib mrenn for his post. It makes perfect sense. A lot of players just can't except the fact it's their high dollar computer causing them problems and they have to put the blame of their poor game-play on WGT or something other then what the problem really is. Some people need to be more endurable towards this game. A lot (98%) of problems people experience with this game is the fault of their own computer. Like a horse pill, a lot of people are going to find this statement hard to swallow.

  Ok then why put out a game that requires more than normal fidgeting? Its like selling a car an expensive car but you can only get gas occasionally. Why not make it very user friendly and EASY.
