    Does anybody else think it should be "in the fairway" instead of  "on" ?  One hits the ball "on the green" but  not "on the fairway"

    repeat  from another thread

    I have an idea that WGT might find interesting

    I have played every golf game sold in a store, and you would be crazy if you thought another game is better than this.

    I do not play much,been a member for 4 months  but in the last 3 days I have been home with the flu, so I have been playing. I found some frustrating things. Number one would be the people who quit on you. I had 8 games yesterday before I got to see the 9th hole. The other thing is the enhanced equipment. Players on 2-3 holes seem to have an advantage

    Ok WGT, how to make money and influence friends

    1--Split enhanced players and regular players into separate leagues

    2--Charge enhanced zero, and regular players $5 a month

    3-Charge $5 for every disconnect, and if you disconnect  5 times  in a month, you are suspended for 30 days. 5 times is arbitrary, could be 3, could be 1

    4-Put some kind of penalty for those who need more than 90 seconds to take a shot

    5-With the money, keep some,  and with the rest give us a better selection of courses to play

    When I log in, I can find the player with  like clubs to mine, and be somewhat confident that the player will go the 9 holes. If I was a consistent player, that alone would be worth $5

    Other enhancements could be made, but that is open for discussion

    Thoughts, please. Please stay positive. A few of you are always negative, so please give this some thought

    WGT, What you think?

    To the original post, yes it should be "In the Fairway"

    To the last post. I think you need more chicken soup, that fever has got you thinking all crazy like n stuff.

    in the rough..in the bunker...bad lies

    on the fairway...on the green...good lies

    IN the fairway still sounds better though

    ON is for the putting surface only

    and yes...there should be BIRDS in the BGM

    It is a bit like parking on driveways, and driving on parkways.

    "In" the fairway is what happens when I play real golf in the early spring, hit a great drive, the fairway is soggy wet, and the ball sinks into the turf.  "On" the fairway is what happens to my drives in the summer.  Except for when they go "in" the rough.  Or "in" the water.

    Sort of remindsme of a golf proverb I heard many years ago:

    If it goes left, it's a hook; if it goes right, it's a slice; if it goes straight, it's a miracle.
