    I can see that it is a hot topic, but an even swing meter is essential to this game.

    At times it is quite steady and I score fairly well. My score has steadily decreased, but lately has climbed a few points. I just gave up on a closest to the hole tournament because the meter was so uneven that it was impossible to time it or adjust. Even if it were quirky in some pattern it could be dealt with, but it does not seem to be.

    I would like to get my game at par or below, as I do enjoy the game, and enjoy it more when playing well, as 99% of players do.

    I get angry at my own mistakes, but I own them. I can't own the vagaries of the meter.

    That is the #1 bug of the game; fixing it would make it a terrific game indeed!!

    Thank you.

    Lance60... any man who can use the word "vagaries"in a sentence deserves the sharing of a small secret about the meter.  If you take a practice swing or two when the meter is acting up it'll generally smooth it out.  You can take practice swings by drawing back your club, letting it go and not stopping it.  It will not cost you a stroke.  Try it out.

    I have. And it appears others have. Now, then and way back when. It is usually terrible, but sometimes just horrible. On a few rare days, it is just so so. It is the biggest issue here. Every day, every week, every month...I haven't been here a year yet so I can't include that word. Sadly, when 4-23-10 shows up, my first birthday here, I am sure I will.

    Just happy to know its not just me. Sometimes it will even start out OK but by hole #4 or 5 it has gotten bad again. Thanks for the reply!
