Hello all....Just joined yesterday after hearing a mate of mine go on and on about the game for a few months. I signed up and went to practice a few rounds to learn the game and such, and also followed some tips my friend gave me. So, after a whopping 3 rounds only...I have a few questions.

Is it reasonable to expect that the game will give me 7 headwinds and 2 cross winds on St. Andrews in a 9 hole game?---I've played there and it's not possible.

Is the meter bar always so jittery? I followed the instructions that I read and cleared the cache, used chrome, etc..but, it's been hard to judge with all the jumping.

I keep gettting level upgrades and offers of new clubs...seems that's the bait to spend..any suggestions at which level to wait to purchase drivers, clubs, wedges etc...where they'll be useful for quite a while instead of seeing better ones each day.

That's it for now...sure there will be more to follow..anyway...thanks so much in advance for any answers/suggestions you might have. I appreciate it...

Now...off to play some more practice holes before I shame myself by playing with/against someone else....going to work on chip/pitch/flop....and putting mostly.

Yes...this is quite normal even if it's not realistic.

Check out the System Requirement over there--->. A few things that work for me, to settle down the meter, is to not play with other programs running and if you are on a network computer, try not to play when others are streaming video of doing other functions that can slow down your system. Try to turning off any game Options you don't need and lower the Flash quality.

Ask yourself...what do I expect from this game? That will guide you on how much you'll need to play and what equipment you will need to meet your expectations. It really is different for each player. Some play here for a long time with the free stuff and others buy equipment as soon as they start playing. Keep in mind that equipment upgrades can make the game easier, but you'll most likely need to practice (play a lot) and learn all the different aspects of this game to play at the highest level.

Be be careful or you might get hooked...and be sure to check out the Getting Started and FAQs (over there---->) for more info.

At level 6 I bought the Tour Plus set. It is expensive, but it lasted me 42 levels, until I was high enough for the Raptures. I also recommend not worrying about your putter for quite some time, but get some nice wedges ASAP.
