    Hi all!

    I try again and again to play "uneven lies", but I cannot understand how it works... It seems impossible to counter the uneven sometimes (exemple the #2 in Bethpage, or in bunkers...)...

    Have someone some tips and explanations... Or Is somewhere in the forums a post on this subject?

    Thanks

    Merry Christmas everybody!

    Uneven Lies is still for practice games only.

    Hi Bonalyau,

    It turns out there are many threads on Uneven Lies since its introduction back in August.

    The one with the most helpful info is probably this one: 

    http://www.wgt.com/forums/t/124818.aspx?PageIndex=25

    and I'm deliberately sending you to the last pages of the thread (the beginning is full of everyone's initial reactions within the first few days of its release).

    There is also some strategy and tips in the thread of this community tourney I ran in the fall (but the nuggets are a bit spread out I'm afraid).

    Do note that Uneven Lies was toned down in a major way in 2nd week of October as part of the monthly WGT update, so the effects that are discussed in the first thread are not nearly as extreme.

    Playing Unevens successfully is as much about sensible course management as anything else. When you get into trouble, play out of it, rather than attempt anything heroic.

    I found the best way to learn Unevens was with Starter Clubs and balls, and to make Par my goal. After all, we all learned how to play the game in the first place with Starters, so it makes sense to go back to the source. Once you get a handle on it, introduce it to your play with the 'fancy clubs'.

    I believe Uneven Lies may well be the best thing that has happened to this game. I hope you persist with it, and learn to love it too!

    Good luck!
