  First,,, it would be nice to know,,, that I am not wasting my time on a suggestion sight that does not acknowledge if your suggestion is actually looked upon...

  I have a Love - hate relationship with this sight...

  Very impressed with the graphics,,, social opportunities and the courses...

  What angers me most,,, the money game,,, investing in balls,,, clubs,,, money tournaments,,, betting...

  So many things are all to obvious,,, nothing more so than the implied reference that money invested wisely in equipment and balls will influence your game,,, or abilities...

  Most obvious ,,, the more you invest in balls ,,, the more the opportunity that you'll find a unique way to lose them...

  No matter how much you invest,,, your skills,,, abilities and equipment have no bearing on how certain holes play out... Amazing how I can replicate a game and hole and score when I replay the same format over and over again... Bridie the same holes over and over again ,,, and boggy the identical in return... Live the same putt on the lip,,, or barely miss that very same putt,,, like I barely missed it the last 7 times I played... You can hit 15 good shots in a row,,, yet find that boggy because no matter what,,, your next 4 results all seem to find trouble...

  The obvious... on the back nine at Bethgate,,, believe the 15th a par four where you shot to the elevated green,,, your game will will always see the same funky result no matter how well you play it today...

  The actual game is so scripted,,, time after time,,, that abilities and equipment doesn't buy you the freedom of independent results... Even to the point,,, meter glitches,,, happen more often on the exact same shot...

  How can you ask me to believe my investment in all aspects of the game will equate to independent result... Thus no money tourneys or bets...

  re: mrshazam's post...I read it a couple of times...not sure, but I think it's a complaint.  He probably should have spent less time on the text and more time on the grammar and spelling.

  ...just sayin'

  Let us micromanage equipment and customize things.  I'm sure a lot of people would jump at the chance to have a special blue graphite shaft with a 2yd distance boost and .3 better forgiveness (or something).

  PhiEaglesFan:

  11.) Sell "putter meter increments" instead of having to create duplicate items (Nike M1/M2) just so they have different meter increments.  So, for example, maybe all future putters come with a standard set of increments of 15/30/60/120.  We would then purchase additional increments on our own to customize it.  I would personally supplement the above with 10ft, 45ft and 200ft increments.  That could be 3 more purchases out of me.

   

  Two excellent suggestions, would I also suggest for additional scales for the putter would be 10 and 20 foot scales as well.

  How about a simple option to be able to change equipment during a round? Currently you must cancel the game to be able to accomplish this. Or how about special "mulligan" practice rounds where you can reset the ball to the same spot it was in previously and retake the shot. The latter would do wonders to help you hone your skills.

  That's great in theory, but better suited to Putt Putt.
