  Which response? There was no question and no point to discuss...

  And, from your description, it wasn't a match but multiplayer stroke play. You describe a well-known flaw which has no further consequences as there are no records of these games. Even the "winner" won't know that he "won".

  It's not only me, there are others, too, with profound knowledge of the game!

  On PC, with a browser?

  => Looks like the known Flash-eats-memory flaw. RAM ain't released in a proper way, so it may be good to close down all browser windows sometimes to reset it. Some do it before each game...

  In more difficult cases, you'd have to clear the browser and/or Flash caches, or shut down your PC.

  First the so called memory leak is not just a WGT problem. Any flash based game on the web has the same problem and some like EA's pogo.com are even worse than anything that happens on WGT.

  Secondly almost everyone has flash storage set at 100 kilobytes. What if we increased that to 500 or even a 1000?

  Did I point to WGT? Not at all. I named the culprit, and it's used in this game.

  It would need longer to eat the memory...
