Well, it's about time I said hello in this section of the forum really!
I've made a few posts elsewhere in the forum, and was thinking I should introduce myself here soon, and today I was promoted to master rank, so it's definately time I said hello : ).
I'm Valrec (game-name), English, live on the South Coast of England, 46 yrs young, never played a round of golf IRL yet (though I really should have, I love the game, and hope to get started at it soon, recession permitting!). Not really played many golf games on PC much before either, they lacked a realistic feel. But I do rather like WGT.
I've been playing WGT for just over a month, and was just getting a feel for the game over the last two weeks, had some fairly decent scores, won a few minor trophies in tournaments, nothing special, but pleasing none the less.
And just as I get to feel comfortable with the game, my promotion to master arrived. It's a whole new game now; longer holes, faster greens, bigger winds, a new challenge!
I can't say I felt ready for master level, but it is here so I must be ready, ummm, I think....; )
I expect my score average to go up a bit for a while ; )
Mind you, my first round out with a new TM R9 TP Master Driver at St Andrews from the master tees and very fast greens (and very high winds!) was a 71, so that's not too bad. (Hit deep into the weeds to the right on the 13th after slicing a drive badly for a DB; the new driver taught me a valuable lesson about itself there!).
I'm not having too much trouble with the distances on the fast greens, but getting used to how they break is going to take a while!
So anyway,
Hello to you all, it's good to be here. Enjoy the game : )
