  I won't say that it's rigged, but since this app replaced the original game, I struggle to make level par on St Andrews front 9, whereas before I was shooting -5 or -6 most times, tee to green is no problem, but putting is a lottery, lipouts, and overshooting the hole is the norm I am using same putter, and same balls, but I might as well just close my eyes and hope I used to play everyday for at least 2 hours, I am so frustrated with what wgt have done to this game that I only play when I can't find anything else to do, please don't start giving me grief, I am 75 years old, and I get enough of that from the wife, this is just my opinion of the new app.

  Of course it is, but only if you haven't got the money to feed WGT. 

  The algorithm that I used to see talked about ensures that unless you upgrade your clubs you're more prone to aberrations and mistakes. It simply doesn't matter how 'good' you get with starter clubs or cheaper clubs there will always be that algorithm that slows you down, makes you play a perfectly good shot that isn't or ignores the conditions to ensure you understand who's boss.

  As someone who played golf with rubbish clubs for years, I managed to get down to a 4 handicap, despite the clubs, because I knew them like the back of my hand and I knew what to do in real life conditions - that is removed from this game in preference of money.

  That said, you can still achieve a reasonable level with the barest minimum spent; you may never win any tournaments but you can spend a few hours a week enjoying the game or you can spend the same time screaming and shouting at the unfairness of it all. WGT don't care; they have a working model and you, me or anyone else who hates the game at times isn't going to change it, unless you spend money (and then it won't change, you'll just be less angry when things f**k up). You don't get fairness unless you put your hand in your pocket and if, like me, you haven't got that disposable income, then you suffer with what you have or you simply don't play.

  It's not a discussion you'll win; it really is a case of get over it or spend money.

  I don't necessarily agree with you and am much younger than you are, but kinda feel warm camaraderie with you, sir. But you (used to) play this game at least 2 hours every day?! Wow, I believe your wife is being extremely generous!

  My reply is you’re nothing more than a troll wanting an argument.

  the game is not rigged, it’s just got different levels of experience and equipment and desire.

   

  if you don’t like it go play  mario . . . Bye!

  Hi Simon, the 2 hours is when she wants to watch her TV shows, and I'm not allowed to disturb her, thanks for your kind acceptance of a geriatric lol, Graham.
