I've never spent a cent on this game, and I never feel "targetted", some of you are just tripping out.
I play the UL Tournaments a lot. This week the 9 hole has zero wind. Yes, I have dinged shots and seen them go slightly off-line, but 5-6 YARDS? Hardly.
It all comes down to putting.
BTW, I just shot a 28 in the unlimited 9 hole at CCC. I dinged a lot, but the biggest thing was knowing the distance, and I putted very well.
