    It is in my profile "un-motivated". 

    After each Open I see how easy this game is & silly unrealistic. I insist, a 70/72 should be the cut here in WGT at Olympic and.............. NOT a 56!.

    boooooooo!

     

     

    I understand you, and I thought like you before. But I do believe there is a big difference betwen real life and a virtual game. In order to do a shot out there in the course you need presision in your legs, toes, knees, stomach, hands, arms, shoulders, head. eyes...(that is all body parts I can think in english right now lol)

    In the other hand in the computer you only need to train the eyes and a finger. nothing more. Also you can play 50 ranked rounds in one day in WGT in, real life 2 18 holes rounds in a day is too much. I think I havent made more than 100 full rounds in my life. I have amost 1500 in WGT in a year and a half.

    We also have aerial view, exact distances, aim arc, perfect clubs (or most of the time) etc, etc, etc. Is a video game.

    Is a simulation, is just different, a game for fun. think of that 55 as the 70-72

    It's a balancing act... keeping the game accessible for first-time players around the world vs. the seasoned WGT veteran definitely affects the scoring.

    However, that said, we don't want scores in the 50s either.

    In the coming releases there will be a series of features that will better address this.  And then, when that happens, a round like Bubba or Phil's today...

    ...much more likely.

    Stay tuned!

    hole in 1 on the 7th wow

    yeah, too bad it was in a practice round. what are the posibilities of doing it again during the OPEN. 

    Is like When I'm playing MP or alternate, I beg for not to make a Double eagle, because I know it will be harder to make it again in a ranked round lol. I really want an ALBATROS :)

    Last week I was yelling "DON'T GO IN, DON'T GO IN", when I hit the pin of the first par 5 of congressional in an alternate game.  :)

    hopefully the real pros are having better VEM with their clubs than i'm having.

    4 irons with  level180 degree crosswinds flying 250 yrds

    165 yrd irons into headwinds and uphill greens drop the pin a postcard to say hi as it flies 180 yrds and way past the pin.

    list is endless.

    what chance lol.

    olympic's a great course chad.....it's a real shame it's getting spoiled by crazy shot results so often in one round.

    what the hell lol

    I really hope that happen, since I reached legend I lost big part of my golf fantasy. I know this is only golf simulation but it ought to be tough too.

    I understand the need of giving all new players the chance to try the game & give them a real good and nice experience. The US Open qualifying here have been played mainly by legends & a few TM's.

    Not sure if I make my point clear ...where is the challenge? trying 100 rounds to get 15 birds in 18 holes?...man, I rather enjoy a tough round with a fantastic & sweet 66 ...as Michael Thompson today.

    Thank you for the answer.
