  Looks like a $20/year fee. Wonder if you can pay that using credits.

  Hey Duffer

  I'm getting the Phygolf stick tomorrow. I have a few questions you might be able to answer being a user for a while.

  Does it plays off your WGT ID keeping your coins and credits earn before young OT the stick?

  You can play full rounds or just 3 holes rounds?

  Also I am playing WGT from the app on my IPad and not looking to work off a computer. Is that how you us it? And if so how is it working?

  Lastly what is the best wire hook up you would recommend so I can transfer my iPad screen to TV using the Phygolf stick to play.

  Anybody else reading this and capable of answering please feel free to contact me 

   

  Thanks all

  Steve

  Right now I am getting use to the stick and playing with the Phigolf game and not yet WGT as I found the short game to be too tough.

  But would be ready to give it a go again if I could play against player with Phigolf 

  But it affects our stats quite a bit. I went from a 72.4 average score to 80 after registering by mistake a 90 and a 47 score on ranked mode instead of practice.

  I have the Phigolf device. I run WGT on my Galaxy S8+ and use a USB-C to HDMI cable to connect to my 55" TV. Looks great!

  Regarding the Phigolf play - full swings are OK, but putting is very far off. Using a putting stroke, that in real life would produce a 10 foot putt on a level surface, sends the ball like 80 feet in the game. So, I have to mentally convert the putt distances - if the game says the putt is 25 feet, I reduce it to about 5 feet and use a putting stroke that matches that. That gets me pretty close.

  The swing stick constantly wants to reset for a shot, so if you have to make aiming changes or something like that on your mobile device, you have to kind of swing the thing around so it won't be stable enough to reset for a shot. I wish it wouldn't do that. Once it resets and is ready to swing, I haven't really figured out how to reliably "un-reset" it so I can actually get ready for the shot and not accidentally make it swing.

  Has anyone figured out how to play on WGT so that multiple players can play locally using one Phigolf device? So far, all I've seen on WGT is internet multiplayer.

  Also, why does WGT think I'm Canadian? How do you edit your location for your profile?

  Hé, Steve... Si j'étais à ta place, je ne laisserais pas autant de renseignements personnels au public comme tu viens de le faire. C'est pas vraiment bien pensé là, je te le dis...

  Hey TapInPat,

  I play with a similar setup and I love it. 

  for putting, try swinging with a consistent pace back and through on every length putt. Judge distance by the length of the back swing.  I use my back foot as a reference point for my backswing while putting, and chipping as well. 

  when you are aiming or changing clubs, put the swing stick facing up over your shoulder. Only point it down when you are ready to actually swing. This will avoid the accidental swings.

  no local multiplayer on WGT... which is a total shame. Hopefully one day. Hit me up if you have more questions or want to setup a H2H game. edfarto2020@gmail.com
