    Seen in the forum this guy who shot 49 saying it took 30 hours. Not sure what the hell is going on why it would take that long.. something's fishy with the way these geeks get those low scores. Shouldn't have to be taking that long. Like whats this guy do in a normal multiplayer game where there's a timer. I do know that when i play in those, these "hot shot" legends barely make par.

    Wgt's getting riled up lately with the ridiculously low scores and turning up the rigging so ya can't even make par anymore and shots purposely don't go where you aim them anymore. Well.. hows about you crack down on 24hr game nerds like this and have a 90 second timer for all games. Then you'll start getting some real scores.

    I don't think it took 30 hours for the one round.

    It didnt.........read the post again and you will see that he was practicing for that long before he was able to post the incredible score.

    And slow pokes like me will quit.  I like to take my time setting up a shot, and my brain just doesn't work that fast.

     It takes me about 11 mins to play 9 holes and 22 mins to play 18 holes. Roughly about 20secs a shot including taking into account loading time.   Tee shot is about just long enough to drag back and click. Putts and flops take the longest  though still no longer than 30-35 secs on average. Im not a particularly fast player  though not slow either if not distracted by things at home.

    The 49 round front 9 took about 10 mins as I was ripping it off pretty quickly. The further into the game the more deliberate I became on the shots.   The putt on 18 for the 49 I bet I studied it for a full 2 mins looking at it from every angle chip and putter before determining it was in fact  straight from every angle and executing the 7.4  putt  Then it was peanutbutter jelly time

    To think it took 30 hrs or even 1 hr to play a round of 18 is laughable unless stopping for breaks dinner  trip to store etc

     

    With buddies we sometimes play beat-the-meter and execute all shots within 10 secs or incur a 1 stroke penalty.   No time for aiming, reverse views  or changing clubs and still ,many of guys can shoot several strokes under par just early/late clicking with whatever the caddy gave them  and adjusting spin. 

    A timer on single play wouldnt effect scores, it would just be aggravating is boss walks in/ wife needs bug squashed etc.

    Below is example of fast play, watch and learn a trick or 2

    nope i dont trust any of those low scores around here. If wgt wants to stop making this place looking like a farce with the possible cheating to get those scores, well hows about you have live in-person tournaments on their machines. Then we'll see how good they are these really guys. Or if they have multiple accounts. Should at least do that once a year with the top guys to proove if they're cheating. And if they dont show up, they're out of the top player rankings. Well if wgt had their act together and could pay for their trips, then it might work but my bet is on how wgt would rather go around with the possibly cheating low scores, farce this place has become. You're starting to get some usga money.. hows about you spend some of that proving these low scores are real.. with in person tournaments. Otherwise you're just looking like you dont know how to run a business. In the meantime lets at least see a camera on you with no pauses playing one of those low score games and put it on youtube. Naw they wont do it cause they're cheating.

    Good 4 u Run. Best thing about this site is : People can do wahatever they want. Play the game how they want 2. Really shouldn't have 2 worry if others approve of their scores. Regardless of how they got their scores. Why not jus give the guy kudos and move on...
