Re: Leaderboard for real?

  Are the scores on the tournaments for real, or are they there just to frustrate me?

  I see leaders on nearest-to-hole with scores in the 40's. How can anyone, let alone a bunch of people, shoot 9 shots where every shot stopping within 5 feet of the pin. Just no way. Impossible. I refuse to believe it.

  I demand that the leaderboard be fixed henceforth. Alternatively, it should automatically subtract 400 points from my score. Uh, 450.

  I got 40ft on 1 of the CTTP's back in late summer before I started working for WGT. Using capture clubs and non-callaway balls.

  Yes it is possible, just requires precise shots, some skill and many tries.

  Many tries, I can do........... the skill part still seems to be lacking at times   :)

  Some of the best players will restart their round as many as a hundred or more times to get those scores in the 30's and 40's, just grinding away untill the get 9 heartbeats!

  Heartbeats?

  Am I missing something here?

  Congrats on the 40 footer Icon.

  I'm pretty good at getting 9 of those 40ft'ers... total 360.  Sounds about right.

  If you're playing with the sound on and your ball lands within 10' I believe, there will be heartbeats playing.  So, when you strike the ball and you hear the heartbeats, you know you dropped the ball right by the stick
