Re: This game needs to be a bit more realistic and not self serving...

  I grew up playing Chambers Bay, the greens are not even close to as bad as WGT plays them.

  It seems like every hole has a 90 degree break, it's ridiculous. If I were Chambers Bay I would be pissed that it plays like this on WGT.

  If I have never played Chambers Bay I would never play there. I'm sure Chambers Bay appreciates that losing money lol

  Come on man!. these greens are basically like a miniature golf course, WGT, didn't have to over do it! I have played the real course at least 40 times. The greens are nothing like the WGT version......WGT has them breaking from every directing and most of the time it's a 90 break, from all directions,  ridiculous.

   

  Just saying.... WGT needs to play there, and see that they are taking the breaks a little to crazy. The should maybe put a windmill or something in the middle of some of the greens.

  There are lots of ways to earn credits on here so you can upgrade your clubs free of charge. I have made it to the Legend tier without spending anything. It can be done.

  Whilst I understand what you are saying regarding the length of the driver, it is all relative to your tees. Personally I used the starters clubs (I did upgrade to the starters plus pro driver) until I got to masters, so you can still score well even from the TP tees. Yes some greens are not reachable in regulation so I think this hones in on your short game. By the time I was ready for Masters, I had accumulated enough credits to upgrade all my clubs, and you being in the US have even more options on earning free credits.This has already been pointed out.

  And I will ask this, what is your handicap? I ask this as you are currently effectively off 6 with your average, which is unattainable for the majority of club golfers.

  You must remember that WGT is a business and as such must make money. You have the option of just using the starters clubs and then must accept that these clubs have limitations, or you upgrade to improve your score. The choice is up to the individuals, but regardless can still be a lot of fun playing some of the worlds great (and tough) golf courses
