    the scene at 6:30 am when I'm on the tee...

    WGT doesn't get enough credit for what they do...I just played the Black IRL and man, it was just like WGT! 

    Even down to the details! The mowing of the fairway is the same, with the one side downgrain and the other into the grain! And the green mapping was great too! The bunkers acted the same, the fescue, the rough, the fairway, the greens, and even wind!!!

    here's another cool part: On 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10 , 13, 14, 16, 17, 18 they had pins in similar spots and I used WGT knowledge to make the putts!

    And it certainly helped on tee shots to know exact carry yardages!

    the only difference is I shoot sub 60 pretty easily here but IRL I was thrilled with sub-90! And I have NO IDEA how people can play 7 as a par 4 (its a par 5 for normal play)! the long man in my group was 220 out and it was certainly a 3-shotter for me!

    And this is one of WGT's first courses...each one gets a little better done each time!

    Great job WGT, now we just gotta solve meter issues!

    the scene at 18

    So you're saying you had no meter issues with your real swing???

    Lol...

    sure I hit the occasional shot into the knee-high fescue, but those were unforced errors...

    the real life equivalent of a meter glitch is someone yelling in the middle of ur swing lol...

    U don't get that at Bethpage :)

    It was a great experience at the Black, and WGT did the best job that I can imagine!!!!!!

    How long did it take to get a tee time and how much did it cost? That's only a 250 mile drive for me. Would do it in a heartbeat.

    AWESOME POST!  

     

    I would love to play any of the courses we have on WGT in real life one day.  BPB being the closest to me would most likely be the one that I do try to play in real life eventually.

     

    only a 12 hour drive lol,   "road trip" :-)
