It's better as I'm getting better Specs, as it was designed I'm sure. But i still have a lot of "what the hell" moments. Oh and there's the old RNG on the green. I putt and the hole is there and when the ball is rolling in the cup, it's not there anymore. 🤐

If people aren't speccing like this and feel the Arcade mode is too hard, maybe they need to try this?
Use Lexi Hybrid Spec, Scottie or Lexi Iron, Finau or Precision Wedge Spec, Precision Ball spec
I agree people could try this.
But it still doesn't explain why someone at EA would think difficulty should be based on random dispersion over shot execution.

I'd argue it's not based on random dispersion at end game. If one is fully specced, leveled, and attributes put in the right place, one does not see much randomness at all while the swing is on EASY (which correct me if I am wrong, is the setting on all competetive online modes). If you switch the swings to HARD, I will agree some randomness is introduced, but not really sufficient enough to impact scoring dramatically.
I don't find the game hard, not even close and I'm scoring very well. My issue with RNG is that I'm not always getting rewarded for a perfectly executed shot. I know my golfer is not fully maxed and doesn't have full specs, but execution has to mean something. At least not ending up missing a green or fairway because RNG is getting my shot so offline.
I would take any TW iterations or 2K iterations over EA PGA Tour since I have more control in my shot.
I have a rotation of sports games which include Madden, NHL, EA FC (aka FIFA), UFC, NBA 2K, PGA Tour 2K, MLB the Show, WWE 2K and AEW Fight Forever. I play all of these games and none of them have RNG. For old games, I also played Fight Night series, Ken Griffey Basebal, EA WCW, the LJN WWF games, THQ WWF games and UFC Undisputed. Even these past games did not have Random La C@ca. Yet EA PGA Tour feels more fake than Wraslin’.

I agree with what you are saying. But that isn't my point... my point is that you shouldn't need to apply skill and specs to overcome ridiculous amounts of RNG. That a good shot should be rewarded no matter what skills and specs are applied to your character.
My personal opinion is that the addition of skill points and specs should kick in when you DON'T hit a perfect shot.
In other words if you apply everything (both skill points and specs) to accuracy and you are playing at the TOUR level... you are actually playing closer to a PRO level.
I never liked that it seems EA decided to use RNG to control the level of difficulty rather than the players ability to execute a perfect shot.
its not "RNG" its where (EA) wants the ball to be.
I hit so many shots that go NOWHERE where I want them and I'm talking with-in even a few feet and (EA) is like "I think we want your ball... here! 32' 3" from the hole instead of 9' 2" huge differences there (EA)
you (EA) have ZERO business controlling where my shots go, or anyone else's.... so STOP doing it!!
someone said it's like a casino, where the house always wins, seems like it alright!

Once you are totally specced and leveled, the ball does as you would expect based on your swing. Once maxed everything is explainable by swing and dispersion (at least for non hard swings). Hard swings seems to have some extra modifier.

You are not wrong with what you are saying. The issue is you shouldn't be punished for executing a good shot. Because of the amount that RNG plays in this game, it takes away the skill early in the game and then makes everything too easy once you are fully levelled up.
The system was poorly conceived, without any fore thought... like a lot of how this game was developed. Or rather, some of the ideas are not terrible... but the execution of them were awful.
Like they just jumped in feet first without thinking how it should actually work. But if they did flesh it out and everything they did is as intended... then I am truly speechless.
Sometimes, I seem to have RNG with the wind too. 15mph wind left to right, I aimed left and the ball stay left and go in the water or deep rough like there was no wind. So many 'what the hell' moments in this game for me.
