  Cool post ... thanks ..

   

  Okay 1st of all ... where is that free 18 ... heck I paid to get that 2 over 74 ... lol ...

  I found it fun and different because of all those short par 4's ... I found the graphics on the fairways quite true... but lacking on the greens .

   

  I so hear you that the wgt graphics are better ... or are we just getting immune to them, that's why I would love if they could do pin changes instead of so many defaults. Getting a tad to easy and boring.

   

  But all in all I enjoyed and cursed my round at Whistler even though I paid ... I may be a bit biased ... it's in Canada ... ha !!!

   

  Enjoy the game people

   

  Easy

  I only play the tru golf courses in ready go's. I would never pay to play them just for the sake of playing it. Like Runwme says "you get a chance to win your credits back".

  I hope to see many more of the tru golf courses. They're not pretty to look at but they sure are a lot of fun.

  thx.. RUN  !.. 

  il have to pass on the RG... that chance u mention'd is about as good as me landing a ball on the moon with a 4 iron... :)

  the way i see it .. in  anuther year i may be as good as you top guys are now.. .. but ..ya'll will by then be a year better also.. and thats just scary... 

  i competed all my life but i never enter'd an event just hoping to place,,, if i wasn't good enough to win it i kept practicing till i could.. 

  ROCK ON..!....   peace

  OK..MY REVIEW... 

  shot a 68... nuthin fancy.. made a boo boo on 3rd hole ..thought i was on the green 65ft away.. went for the ole wedge off the green shot... ooops !! blister'd it over in the  flowers...lmao.. dubble bogey... and #5... hit one with my purse from 4ft..left short.4a.bogey.,,.birds on 2,7,an 9.  .. ok ..i settled down..headed to the back.. and enjoying it so far...37

  was hoping to at least shoot even par..not 3 putt..or loose a ball.. 

  well ..had 4 birds and 5 pars on the back ... for a 31 .. smile.. ok for 1st time to me..

  i think its a cool course... burnt the edge on two eagle putts and a couple of birdy putts..slick greens but thats ok very challenging...

  all in all i give it an A... would be better to me.. if the greens looks more like real grass.. not floor tile .. 

  pay to play it.. .. still on the fence..its not the price,, thats fine and dont mind..just still dont trust the unexplained WGT drop... left a bad taste when me an frend played cabo...i play with every nite ...we RAReLY get disconected.... BUT

  of course ..paid for the good 18 hole deal ... we got to # 12 or 14 ..and blink...""bye bye"" go finish by ya self...so we never went back..

  fixit where a person can return to a friend if dropped in the paid course's .. and i will make a TEE time everyday... :)

  ANYWAY... enjoy'd the free round a bunch... THX,, WGT ... peace

  OK..MY REVIEW... 

  shot a 68... nuthin fancy..

  A 68 and you would've played for free in the  whistler 18  100cr readygo I played in last night.  68 wouldve won you 101 credits in a 2way tie for 14th place.

  It does suck getting disconnected unexpectedly from stroke with your buds. Happened to me this morning and we finished out the round chatting on skype.

  Here is a suggestion to use skype and  play 4player 18hole stroke quickly. All sign up together  for 18 holes of stroke and tee off the first hole together.  Then 3 players will  hit F5 reload to disconnect and we 4 play solo, but all 4 have identical conditions.   This allows you to play much much faster  than waiting on 3 others everyshot for 18 holes of stroke. With skype you still can talk smack about shots, joke,  cut up and compare scores at the end of the round.

  VERY COOL RUN... 

  actually the frend and i were on skype.. and did finish while blabbin away... 

  i see what yer saying ... and that makes alot of sense if ya dont wanna drag out a game..

  takes away that... PPL LOOKIN AT YOU ..pressure tho... which to me adds a demention to the game one should be able to learn to deal with.. and even having the patience to wait thru three shots IS part of golf to me... kinda the same if yer playing for even just a penny also,,, 

  anyway...funn either way... 

  i envy ya'll .. that have figurd out skype is a funn way to play this game... i try'd in the CC im in now... did get 1 cool dude to play with.. but that was it.. 

  i realize im still kinda a newbie and getting to know ppl and gain trust takes time.. 

  now lets see... say ida made .1 cred.... hmmmm .. ima need a calculator to see how many years it gunna take me to catch bullocks.... :)

  fixin to turn legend... i guess im ready to take the plunge... tho im not sure how long it will take me to be consider'd half decent... lol 

  much respect man... :)
