Dear Mara,
Thank you for your
reply to my post. Yes, you're quite correct. I can still use the wedge on the
green and I am starting to get the hang of hitting a little easier and allowing
the ball to roll up to the hole.
I too have been
playing real golf for the past 30 years and like you I have never had to resort
to using a wedge on a real green. It truthfully has never crossed my mind to do
so. But I know I can do it I so decide. Also to do so I believe would go
against good etiquette and it would be a crying shame in my opinion to damage a
real green. I have often used a seven iron to tap a ball into the hole and I
bet you have done so also. But there is one very important thing you have to
remember about playing golf on WGT, It's a Video Game. How could you compare it
to real golf? In a video game, the physical way you play shots should never
ever ever ever ever change. (Apologies for the bad grammar) so now I hope you
have some understanding of my frustration with the extremely stupid decisions
WGT designers/management have decided to make. This is so stupid you
wait-and-see it's going to end up being an episode on South Park.
Playing golf on WGT I
am afforded the ability to put backspin on a drive. I would have no clue as to
how to do this while playing real golf. So on this basis WGT might wake up some
morning and decide to remove this capability on the WGT videogame. They need to
cop onto themselves and realise that you should never ever change the way you
take shots. They can always add improvements never take away something that is
there.
I'm going to let
slide some of your sarcastic remarks as it really wasn't being very helpful to
your position, especially when I take into consideration that it obviously
hasn't dawned on you that WGT golf is a video game and not real golf.
I thank you for the YouTube
link to Phil Mickelson, I thoroughly enjoyed it, many thanks.
Sincerely, Séamus
