  OK twice in recent rounds i have had the very good fortune to hole my approach at my first hole for eagle, then after that....complete $hite,both rounds,  hit rough, bunkers, putts short n long, felt like i didnt have a clue how to play & yet i played all the shots as i normally would. Then played 2 rounds with the free lime balls, 32 n 31, tried exact rounds with nikes n was all over the place.A good score is waiting, but it is random isnt it ?

  The game will take back those gained shots quickly :P

  It is very deflating, but you are not the only one

  Yes i agree GK, i hit many bad shots & i get rightfully punished, no complaints there whatsoever, but when the wind or putts are unreadable, thats when i wonder..... I look n play n i think, how can u possibly hit a mid 50,s when u cant be 100% sure of what the winds gonna do, when a straight putt breaks off n leaves a 3ft back, when the fastest downhill putt u face stops 3ft short after every other putt u had went 2ft long. I,m sorry but i simply cannot believe that ne1 can know exactly how this game is gonna play, with this so called vem deviancy, surely we all work out the maths roughly the same????

  I'm with ya Quaker, I have no clue how a shot will respond any more. My calculations used to work, not any more. People are still shooting those killer low rounds some how. I can only hope for one, it is out of my control.

  Thanks Renniw, appreciate that

  My maths teacher got it all wrong, told him but he didnt listen lol, bet he shoots a 50 on here :-) I dont wanna be a robot, i dont wanna birdie every hole, that would be boring but i do want my brain to work out a shot n get sumwhere near....177 minus 6 = 171, not 143 with no wind ???

  People are not only shooting those killer low scores - this guy has just had the most unbelievable 10-day spell you're likely to see...

  Dude...I somehow manage to bogey after every birdie, no matter how this game has to defy logic and physics to make it happen! I already hold the record for bulls**t lip outsfrom under two feet!

  I just completed a 9 hole club tourney where I went from -4 after 5 holes to finish +1. I had 3 consecutive lip outs for 3 consecutive bogeys and a double bogey on the last hole when i couldn't get a ball up a hill to the green when I know from experience I hit the f'king thing plenty hard enough!

  The game is rigged and total bulls**t sometimes,

  With you too giant, I commented in another post about birdies on the first hole and a bogey is automatic after. I have seen this for a long time now. It defies any logic at all. I don't post score cards, I have had rounds of bird, bogey, bird, bogey for an entire round more times than I care to admit. I am very careful with the balls my friends have sent me. I will not waste them on useless pre programmed ranked rounds. I use them with much enjoyment on my AS games with my friends. Hopefully, I will find one this evening.
