  Folks,

         Please remember this is VIRTUAL golf.We don`t get wet,muddy,sunburnt or footsore.

            What we do get is the opportunity to restart games and practice from the comfort of our chairs.

                      Hence these so called "incredible" scores,oh,and by the way ,that 2.28 score was from a CC colleague who from sheer hard work has consistently returned great scores. 

                        Enjoy!

  Nice Daz, I just can't be consistent over the 9 holes.  And I tell you something else, wind should definitely not be overlooked on this putting challenge..oh yes it does change a putt, obviously more so the ones over great distance.  I've retried this challenge maybe 40 times so far, best I have managed is a 26ft mainly down to holes 1 and 7, but in taking notes of aiming positions and meter speeds, its amazing the difference in ball finishing position from retry to retry with a different wind but exact same speed and line hit.

  I do not want to use the word "cheating" but I think it is the only one to use. 

  Zzzzzzzzzzzzz,,,,i could think of another word you could use,in fact you can use it as many times as you like and its ,RESTART,restart.restart

  As you will see there are no prize`s for coming 1st its a pride thing to get the 1st 0 score if your not happy with the comp go find something else to do,i for 1 love it and cant stop playing the dam thing,

  now down to 20 feet lol.  Wish I could hole out #1 instead of bombing 12 feet by.  

   

  Whats the best way to play #7?  do you play to hit up the hill of bunker or play to not go into the fringe?

  Play #7 on the uphill side of the hole (towards the road), the same as you would an approach shot.

  A good starting point is to aim at the white gate in the fence behind the green (thanks JVR...).  Anywhere from about 95 to 105 feet of power...depending on the wind.  That should get you close, and you can dial it in from there.

  #1 is basically "hit-and-hope".  It's either in or 11ft by.  The good thing is that there are numerous combinations of power and aiming points that will hole that putt.
