good and bad shots affecting the game

  Would love to see something added to this game like if you make a long putt or hit a great approach shot, then your confidence level goes up. But if you are playing and you miss an easy approach shot or putt, your confidence level goes down and you get frustrated, making it more difficult to make shots and putts. Have a confidence meter and program it to make your shots better or worse even if you hit the ding.

  LOL, i dont need no cpu "AI" to rub it in that i missed that 5 footer for birdie either.  Those feeling come natural, no cpu program could replicate it.

  But what might be a laugh, a bit too complicated maybe, during the opens there are a few people lined around the greens and fairway and they cheer a good shot or boo a pathetic 1.  ( iknow a bit too complicated, but would be fun in opens)

  It is like ea sports game already has programmed into their sports games. For example MLB The Show 12. As the player is on a streak, the game becomes easier. But if the player is in a slump, it gets harder to play. Just an idea. I know it can be programmed to so this as there are many other games that actually do this. It will calculate on a steak to let you make a putt that is with 1% of the hole or if you are not playing well it will make your putt that is close to actually miss by 1% or whatever the calculation is set at.

  This is a suggestion that I have thought about. If you don't agree that is fine but I will still share any suggestion that I have no matter what.

  This is the whole premise of VEM. Some say it does exist in this game, and some say it doesn't exist in this game.

  Either way, WGT holds the patent on the VEM software.

  Now I have heard it all, a confidence meter. You mean when you have a 375 yrd drive and you get an atta boy, then your second shot with  a cleveland 80 goes 96 yrds and off the green into 60 rough, then a dumb a$$ sign pops up. Just did that, where is my applause. LMAO.

  Just need to add a button that you press when you make a bad putt or a bad shot. When you press it your club goes helicoptering down the fairway.

  Yes or able to throw it at your caddy for selecting the wrong 1

  Played a game once, where this idea was used, and when you missed a shot and the confidence would drop, so would your game. You had to try harder just to get it to rise back up. Problem was, when you where down there, it was dam hard to get back up again, so it became very frustrating, and most folk walked away. Dont think it would work here .
