As the thread is already derailed.... 1. Would not be the first time HB has said one thing and done another or nothing. And that is fine. Leaderboard answer makes no sense since the guys most vocal about removing it are the guys on top of said leaderboards. Also it must be lower prio to spend time on an issue most of the users don't even know or care about and where there may be just as many silently liking it... 2. The game does need more variation, but either it needs to be true random or tied to swing mechanic. Right now the ball lands within a yard of where it's aimed far too often even for a hack like me. HB wants this to mimic real golf and a large part of at least competitive golf is dealing with the sometimes seemingly random mishaps that happen at the worst times. That is what separates the champions from the ball-strikers and course record collectors. 3. The variation should not handicap more skilled players. It will cap how close they can get on average, so some of this effect will be there - but they should not have more variance in absolute terms. Removing variance completely would be one of the worst things HB could do to the game - in my opinion. "Fixing" the current "squirt" I think is a good idea. Agree wit alot of wat u say but id rather the random in the game go completely than leave it as is. When something happens in real life golf that appears to be random there is an scientific physical explanation for why the ball goes where it does. In this game there isnt. Its completely random. They need to 1) Remove it completely and make the game harder other ways eg. Make shot accuracy line more sensitive. Or 2) Refine it so it only effects straight shooters which is what I think Anthony said it was put in the game combat not to add randomness.

Simply lessening the severity of squirt would make me happy. As it is, you can be 40 yards off with a straightish swing with a cross wind. Id settle for that change at this rate.

Sorry to go off topic here... but... holy crap, I made the cut?! I had gotten in the habit of posting my scores after each round. But after posting round 2, I didn't bother posting rounds 3 or 4... and I don't think I even wrote them down... since I figured there was no chance of making the cut. Really only even played them just to try some different things with putting, since I'm convinced that I am the Worst Putter On Tour (tm). Now I'm going to have to try to dig through the past rounds to find out what I actually scored. Btw, mcbogga , that was a solid bounce back from a very, very, bad hole.

2 very frustrating rnds. -11 & -8 The BS in this game is really winding me up lately. The game is in a poor state at the min imo. We really need to put HB under pressure to either remove or refine the ball squirt. The amount of luck needed to score low on some of these courses is ridiculous. Finished up with a -12 & -13 rnds 3&4. -44 total. I may have squirted my way to victory, lol.
