  I think it's a great idea and i would prefer it if it was 4 single play rounds. It would make the game more realistic. Wgt do say this is the most realistic golf sim so why not make it more so.

  Sure the leaderboards would have mostly the same names at the top but it would give a few others a chance that could shoot some consistent 58's in single play that otherwise aren't good enough to shoot 54's in unlimited.

  It'll never happen though as it won't bring in the dollar.

  You'll find that players that shoot regular 56-59 in single round Readygo and Bracket also shoot the occasional 53-55.

  Not being good enough to shoot low is hardly a problem, whether unlimited or single play.

  Rather, the problem is that all top players know that in order to be competitive in the second round,  they are compelled to post a very low score in the first round. A score that would normally be exceptional in a single round format.

  All top players experience poor rounds, but some experience them less than others.

   

   

  I get what your saying. I'm good enough to shoot 53-55 but have neither the time or the desire to grind it out and get it on the 10th attempt. 

  What i'm saying is there's a lot of players out there who would fancy their chances in 4 single play rounds shooting a consistent 56-59 and start taking the VT a bit more seriously instead of the boring grind of lots of restarts until they birdie the front 9.

  It's what people want so why can't Wgt just try it for 1 month as a trial and see what the difference in ball usage is. They might be pleasantly surprised.

   

  Spot on Dazza. Its time for a change.

  As it should be Mikke

  Anyway, I turned up at Erin this month to see if there was a change, and lo and behold there are 3 rounds. However, the first round is still an unlimited round.

  I'm not one for compromising on something that I feel is right. So, I decided I'm still not playing, put my sticks back in ute, and went home.

  I couldn't agree more. I don't play in anything that has unlimited play, it's just not real golf, heck they might as well let you kick your ball out of the ruff & on to the fairway
