rainman692:some putters sink putts automatically, please stop this nonsense...
You win when you make up something I did not say, but you lose by doing it. I never said anything of the sort. I said that fast meters can be adjusted to, that upgrade putters forgive your inaccuracy, that upgrade irons are more concise, Now you can argue with that, but the reason you buy these clubs is to get that ADVANTAGE
I don't play golf with my grandfather's clubs, and if he was alive and still played golf he wouldn't either. For the same reason I don't drive a model T Ford, and when I fly I hop on a B777 and not on the Spirit of St.Louis. Because they are better, that is progress.
Again, you can make up the story, but you cannot change the facts. This has nothing to do with your grandfather. The argument is "do upgrade clubs lower your score" so stay with the facts, not something that you can throw on the wall and hope it sticks. If you think that your upgrades do not lower your score, that is ok, we all have a right to an opinion. The facts show that upgrades lower your score, and lower it by a big margin. If that was not the case, why pay money for them. If milk is free, you do not buy a cow
Besides, WGT allows us to play the basic game for free, but i'm sure the have spent many many thousands of dollars and countless hours to come up with this game, so it's only fair that they pull 20 buck from us in exchange of many hours of amusement...
I agree, and if you have read any previous post that I have made, I made this suggestion. Charge us non buyers a greens fee every month, and those who upgrade play for free. Change status to am's that are paying green fees, and pro master getting their rating by their average. Of course, everytime I have posted this, WGT has not responded . WGT has made a business decision not to sell the game like microsoft links, but to sell clubs, ball etc, and then make them obsolete. That is a business decision, and they bank on the fact that you and many more will continue to buy. I think they are right, because over the last 2 weeks I am finding it very difficult to get a game with someone who uses regs, unless they are hacks and high avg pro
a lot better than to force someone to use equipment they are not used to. I wouldn't accept the challenge, at least not before a good re-practice
I do not force anyone to do anything, including my husband. All I say is that I do not want to play upgrade clubs, and be a 5-10 stroke disadvantage. It is so hard to believe that after you are a master, with a very fast meter(you say) that the slow meter on the regular clubs would be a problem. Seems to me if I can play a fast meter, I can excel with a slow meter. Sorry, your argument does not hold water. Fast meter makes you very sharp, and slow would just make you sharper
I love to play this game, and I would like to get better, but I am not going to buy my way to get better. I can use money for more important things than showing my name with a low score. I guess that is why upgrades sell so well, men just have bigger ego's than women.
The 4 masters I have played prove to me that the difference between master, 60-70avg and low pro scores (70-73) is absolutely nothing but clubs and ball. I challenge you to find me someone with a 60-65 avg using regular clubs and ball. PROOF IN THE PUDDING
Again, I will say that you seem to be a reasonable man, who has bought into the "buying clubs" and would like to feel his better score is due to his ability to whip the mouse
