WGT, I appreciate that you took the time to add those sounds (car horns, wind, birds, planes, trains, and automobiles), but I prefer to play without them. I have used the menu game settings in lobby to remove lessons, reflections,surveys, etc and the to slide the sounds bars all the way to quiet. I have done this during play on all of the courses, too. My problem is that I have to go through those motions every time I play. Am I doing it wrong? That plane at SA sounds as though it's going down, and those pesky kids blowing their horns is a huge distraction for someone "struggling" with every shot. I don't want to "mute" the game because I enjoy hearing my muffed chips, the splashing sound as ball meets water, and the ball thudding so nicely in the sand. Am I doing something wrong? If so, will someone let me know? PS..Are my posts going to moderated forever just because of one lousy post months ago, that I wrote while TUI (typing under the influence)? PSS..I no longer drink, so we are good on that one. Thanks, Jay
