The worst customer service ever

WGT game is rigged
I have played WGT golf for quite a while and I have found one thing to be true. The reviews that I read that said the game was rigged are absolutely true. Every time you start to win big money games they match you against a bot that lands the ball about two or 3 feet from the hole and birdies almost every time.
This game was quite good prior to the software changeover
This game was quite good prior to the change over to the new software. You used to have quite a challenging game against competition of your level. They have equalized it so even a hack gets bounces that roll to a couple of yards from the pin. The skill factor is gone, welcome to the gender golf equality.
Great game---very addictive
Great game---very addictive! Customer service has never let me down....might take a day or so, but they always make things right. Keep doing what you are doing WGT....I love ya!
This game is rigged
This game is rigged. It is so inconsistent it is unbelievable. You get to a certain level and all of a sudden you have no idea of where your shots are going. WGT is crap.
Never anything consistently right
Never anything consistently right. Wind is a prime example. Play for a flag shot with a 18 mph wind....left to right, shot goes straight left, no movement. Hit a perfect putt, rolls right over the hole without the slightest bounce. Next day, you can make a 36 foot putt dead center with a 6 foot break without trying.

In that goal, there are rudimentary concepts the both apply in real-world golf and WGT Golf and here they are. 2.1 Hone Your Swing A consistent swing is what separates great golfers from the “just” good ones. Fortunately, unlike in real golf, you don’t need a dexterous arm ...
Dealing with Dilemmas
- As skill, math, and luck intervene with your journey to the hole, you’d often find that despite having just one apparent destination, your approach to the course actually has forks in the road. We are to discuss now the three most common dilemmas you’ll encounter as a golfer. 3.1 Power vs. Safety The default placement of target markers on tees are normally safe landing areas and thi…
Putting
- Performing well in putts is extremely crucial that our desire to educate you about it deserves a section of its own. Landing on the green may serve as the homestretch for every hole and a successful putt is the finish line. However, such bid to cross the finish line may be met with multiple “checkpoints” a.k.a. missed and miscalculated putts. Here then are tips to help you mini…
Challenging Scenarios and Terrain
- We’re counting that with the previous sections, you are already equipped with all of the ‘offense’ tools in conquering matches. Now, let’s get your defenses up and mince each means of dealing with treacherous objects around the courses. Bodies of water The game will be kind enough to warn you if you landed virtually next to a body of water with a “water hazard” feedback. However…
Farming Opportunities
- WGT Tokens The prime currency in the game are the WGT tokens and they are honestly scarce. You are awarded a handful each time you are able to climb unto the next tier.

The ot…
