First of all, I admire the gifted "bunch" who by way of 3 techniques(Practice, practice ...practice)...eventually mastered the skill (despite WGT staffers spin effect) of Wedge shots on the green surface. Indeed, it is FUN and awesome to watch the highly skilled ones who demonstrate the shot in game play.....HOWEVER, while I agree that this is a virtual game and that the real-world applications, norms, rules may not necessarily be practical,the least honored... I wonder if , at all the "gifted bunch" can spare one specific scenario from being its showcase for their dexterity?
The CTTH Putting Challenge is one event that I sincerely hope can be be considered by WGT as the only type of event where all the other clubs except the Putter be rendered inutile by default so that all of us, the regular Joe's can walk up to play with the "gifted bunch" on the level. On the two occasions( so far) where I've had been lucky enough to witness this learned skill from as co-player in the CTTH event, I politely requested after the first shot, if we could just revert to the appropriate club and gladly, one was a good sport but the other was like a cross-breed of a " Peacock and a Griffin's leaf-nosed bat"... I guess you can imagine his decorum throughout the 9 holes?? but surely he was very-skilled and that made me wish he'd do the same with his attitude....frankly, unworthy of the ":gifted bunch".
:-) ..the short of all the above...just hoping for one thing .."Courtesy"....Long live the Courteous Gifted Bunch!!
