    glad to see you on this case, and

    WGT, I would like some comments on this please

    merely trying to help.

    Might help if you said how you would like it corrected.  What is your solution?

    not a joke, how do you want WGT to fix the examples above?

    oilyrag:
    if you watch the replay on my profile the 3 iron i used, based on the information given by WGT finishes at 172 yards. on the graphics of the replay this is in the rough short of the green. on the actual hole #2 it is the yardage to the pin.

    Are you implying the physics on this hole is wrong because your 3I went only 172 yards? Your 3I is rated at 200yds and from your swing on the replay it was almost a full shot so you missed the ding badly then.  BTW the activity for saving a replay shows how far you hit the ball in the replay, not how long the hole is.

    Here's a replay of mine on #2 I reached easily with a 190yd 5I choked down.

    Surely you realize Celtic Manor CTTH tournament hole 2 is played on the Celtic Manor course hole 5.  IMO both the replay title and activity title are valid.

    What would you change?

    oilyrag:

    thus every shot will not act as expected due to the incorrect matching of underlying physics and overlying graphics.

    somehow they didn't bother to test this - words fail me

    You're totally wrong.  I and many others have no problems playing the vast majority of the CTTH holes using normal shots.  Yes there are a few quirks, holes that play shorter than listed, and lies that lie.  But in general, its fine.

    This is true enough - and the jury in my mind is still out on whether Oilyrag (abetted by WGT labelling) is simply confusing hole and challenge numbers - I'm going to check through what he says.

     BUT, as in other thread, and on a separate but related issue:

    from Zag e.g., why can't WGT fix what appear (to this layman) to be simple lie labelling errors. Is this really so hard?

    Why should I have to remember, write a note, whatever, that the laws of physics are suspended on such and such a CttH challenge? And isn't it in WGT's interest not to confuse newbies like this. And isn't the contest (ultimately b/w programmer and player) weighted enough in favour of the programmer w/o these suspensions?

    Would be glad of yr views on this Andyson. (I suppose, in short, "Is it so hard...?")
