  U.S. OPEN -- Bubba pulls driver for his 2nd on #16 fairway... NICE

  VIRTUAL U.S. OPEN -- I dare anyone to pull a driver on that hole in the championship rounds!

  Advantage:  Bubba Watson

  I will do! I have no shot at winning so I will try that maybe in the 2nd round!

  U.S. Open - Webb Simpson wins

  Virtual Open - Some guy with a funky name will win

  Advantage: Virtual Open lol as long as its a funny name I like it :) 

  Upon further review, I will definitely hit a driver off the deck

  Single play (4 rounds?) for qualifiers has to be the way forward  - we all get metered etc - them's the breaks.

   

  Exactly. Even though my game isn't near good enough to compete with the highest players, I believe that single play should be the only way to go in all of the majors here on WGT. What stops someone from playing it over and over and over and over again? Or starting over as soon as they hit a bad shot, get metered or don't birdie a hole? Single Play. Thats how.

  Take away the restart option so they have to go thru the whole thing again-its annoying a lot of the players wouldn't have the patience...

  I think I played about 4 rounds: 66, 67, 64, 57...not too great but I still qualify because of 1 good 1...I like the unlimited play but make it harder to restart...

  I dont mind if the game become harder. Actually I think it would be nice.

   

  I do have some thoughts about it:

   

  I don't want the game to become a lottery, having some shots that react normal and some others with not wind applied or going shorter or longer (like actual US Open qualifier). This said, I want the game to be based on skill, If we make a good shot then the result should be good, a ding is a ding.  

  In order to do this, I believe, messing with deviation and precision is not the solution. To have a harder game WGT need to implement additional stuff to the equation, like stand control, draw and fade in every shot, hair in the green, wind affecting putts... and a lot of more things that can make game interesting; letting the skill to play the game and not a random set up to each round and each player.

  U mean like the uneven lies actually affecting the shot????? :o like real life???? I like it!!!

  yup, for example when the ball is under your feet you need a different shot than ball over your feet.

  WGT, BEM QUE FAZEM OS ADMINISTRADORES DOS COURSES EM NÃO LIBERAREM MAIS COURSES PARA VOCES. US OPEN REAL, é real, virtual é manipulação. ALGUM JOGADOR FEZ -11 wgt? NO QUALIFY -11, e no real? Fico com os jogadores melhores do mundo REAL. Se meu score aqui estiver parecido com o deles, não estou nem preocurado com score de voces, dos pontos, do nível que voces impõe, porque nada que venham de voces, WGT não significa nada pra mim. Bem que fazem não permitirem mais campos de golfe aqui, nesta coisa irreal e irritante, fora de qualquer contexto.

  U.S. OPEN -- trees eat balls

  VIRTUAL U.S. OPEN -- balls always drop

  Advantage:  Virtual

  U.S. OPEN - trees eat balls

  VIRTUAL U.S. OPEN - balls always drop... usually out of bounds!

  Advantage:  Hmmm!

  

   

   

  OLYMPIC CLUB TREES ARE ENTS!!!! :)

  
  

  

  

   

  They move, eat balls, trow balls at you when you hit them and they make sure to ruin your round when you hit them too hard. 

  One of them trow a ball back to tee on #1 he said, bad shot do it again lmao.
