Thank you all for your comments and advice. Confession time, I never really looked at these pages, I have never seen a tutorial, and I have never mapped anything or taken notes.
I started playing during our first lock down and never really got out of the coin rooms, I have played mostly the old course about 25 times and my average until recently was 74 think, my best round was 70.
I'm old school but I do fool around with coin games. But that is not why I play this game.
It is the best simulation of real golf on real courses on the Internet.
But playing golf under realistic conditions (best Internet can do) is hard work. It takes learning courses, learning different kinds of shots, Mapping clubs, which somebody mentioned above.
I received advice from good players in my former clubs along the way. Learned, practiced, tried different things. Still learning. Also learned to map new clubs. Used to search the WGT forums looking for tips.
It's up to you. If you want to shoot rounds of 57-62 consistently with realistic clubs, you can get there. But it takes (fun) work. And when we shoot a 57 (or 25-26 over 9 holes), or win a tournament, it is lots of fun even as we still miss putts and mess up other rounds.
