Low scores every tournament

  It's getting discouraging when looking at the scores from almost every 18 hole tournament. The average score to win is almost a 53...lol. WTF.

  I can shoot low at times...but come on WGT. Even with all of the variables to consider along with hitting the ding this game is becoming very unrealistic. Players with averages lower than a 54 is becoming a norm...which is very laughable considering all of the inconsistencies of this game.  Unless this is what WGT wants, than it's ok...but when you claim to be the most realistic golf simulation, than I must disagree it is not.

  Put in some real life scenerios like uphill or downhill lies, move the freakin pin to various positions...so players can't memorize the same puts over and over. Use draw or fade swing meters.  Please do something to create a more realistic experience.

  Just my opinion...take it for what it's worth.

  Thanks and happy hitting,

  Heath

  Keep in mind when you ask for these things your own scores might become a lot more realistic as well. What raises the score of the guy who can shoot 53 5 strokes will raise the average players scores 10 strokes or more.

  The top 100 legends average start some where at what...57 or so?  So 54 can't really be the norm.

   

  You know as well as I do, we rarely shoot our "average"

  Well put YJ,That's what will happen. And they'll still be unreal, the scores that is. We need 2 sites. one for old farts with bad hand eye coordinaton and one for the monster gamers. That is the bottom line here is the difference between the two.That leaves only the sandbagging and multiple accounters to fix. HAHAHA, don't hold yor breath, cause it wont  happen anytime soon

  I agee with you to an extent. Different pin placement would be nice but just like in the real world the really serious players keep a record and I don't think that will change their avg. a bit. They are just that into this game. I also would like to see a draw fade option, but am apprehensive in that the way this game plays now, any additions will muck it up even more! Who knows! Be careful what you wish for.

  Just to let you know I agree. At this point, I really don't care what I or anyone else shoots anymore. Just playing from the tips is good enough for me.

  Theres no way to know that.... And if that is the case they should tweak the game in order to avoid that, or do nothing....
