I see that point of view. I just want to play some golf and I am a competitive person so I enjoy contests and particularly match play. If it means anything, and don't laugh now....in 1999 EA Sports had an online golf game Tiger Woods. Guess I'm showing my age. In any case that year I won $22k real world dollars and was ranked #5 in the United States. It was a legitimate online tour. Unfortunately EA bailed on it after a year due to the international community being upset that it was open to US players only.
I look forward to progressing my game and maybe we shall meet up one day on the links
