Anyone else notice having a good round but the odd one or two holes and the ball is a magnet for hazards? It is the inconsistency that can make you uninstall this game. Hit the ball fine each hole and then that one hole with only one sand trap on the right and bingo, it just goes towards it like a magnet. Wind is going right but the water is left by the green and you just magically hit a hook into the water. Meanwhile 17 out of 18 holes you hit your drive fine.
The devs are just laughing at this point. Might as well just play slot machines.

Ummm ... real golf, even for the pros, is like that.
How many times have we seen a world-class player who only has to avoid disaster somehow hit right at it ? "All he has to do is keep it dry to win ...", LOL.
I'm pretty sure it's me 'getting in my head' at those times, not the game.
2 degrees off center at impact can easily be 40 yards off-target upon landing.
2 percent over or under power can virtually negate fade/draw or wind effects.
More power to the players who don't encounter that phenomenon, even if it is only a joystick !

If I hit it in hazzards then I have done it.
I may add that I often do. Same as I miss a putt by an inch. Unlucky yes, but it's all it is

It happens to me in real golf just as much. It's usually on the same holes too. I lost three balls across two holes today while playing, the first I was hitting a 4i into the green (or trying to), hit a big high draw hook out of bounds. Reload might as well have been an action replay. The next hole I did the same with the driver off the tee although not as pronounced. That particular hole I've sent quite a few over the fence, not every round but enough that it annoys me.

Maybe I am looking for patterns that aren't there but to me it is more than just a coicidence where a bad swing happens more than not in the penalized areas. It's even more frustrating when the bad swing happens on the same hole in the next round but not on the other holes.
It just sucks when you make adjustments like moving to the left or right to avoid the water and your swing still messes up but not on the holes without water.
Just venting becasue I was doing so well in this weeks promotional and now I don't even want to finish.

I watched Cantlay self-destruct against Tom Kim (who he was tied with) on the final hole of the Shriner's in October. I saw Homa hole a chip, then watched Willet blow a birdie AND par putt within a few feet at the Fortinet. If I end up in a bunker or water it's usually because of an errant shot L/R or a fast or slow. I only get miffed if a good tee shot takes a weird bounce and I get penalized or on the none-too-few putting mishaps when there is no break on the green but the ball ends up breaking anyway.
If you want to get pissed, try the 16th green with the 4th pin placement at Wilmington CC on MyCareer. That green and hole placement wouldn't be allowed by the rangers here at TGCTours!

Recently learned about spilleautomater, found ToppCasinoNorge for it. This is where nerves come into play, too. but for that you can get what you dream about. |

lul... yeah man, the game has a heart and soul and purposely puts you in the hazards.
But the game has a good side too.
Many times it just lets your irons, wedges and very long putts just magically hole out.
THE GAME IS THE DEVIL!
UNINSTALL IMMEDIATELY!!

If you are ultra-aware of a hazard then you are subconsciously drawn to it - and are more likely to send your shot that way.
"Don't hit it in the water, don't hit it in the water"...splash.
That is why I have edited the game system files to replace some of the resources. The bunkers for me are trampolines and the water is a field of beautiful daffodils. Nothing to fear there.

Hehehe. There could be no bunkers on a course and my ball would find the sand in an ashtray.
