Choppography:I wanted the 150-158 range verified as 'acceptable' because at first I didn't think it could be.
This can be true. We don't play with the equipment you play with (exactly), nor were we in that condition at that time. You can be the only one to do that. Different equipment plays differently, ie: in real life, you should use multiple golf balls (at some point in time to fine what is best for you) each one does not act the same, that works here also. Using the same ball does not always create the same results either, every time. Is WGT thinking that far into the game,?. You can assume that they have ( bad strikes on the meter).
Another thing, look at the days or rounds of these players an how many they have played. Where info has been gathered. Then look at what time you have played. They have put in a many of a day playing and still having fun, but still getting info every day. Not trying to discourage you, but "it takes time". There is no quick fix, when you find it yourself. This is what I meant, by what I said.
I am going to in this with, I hope you are not thinking that we the other players are holding something from you, we are not! Not having what equipment you are using, we cannot tell you, that your results are accurate. I wish I would have ask this in the Forums like you just did when I was a Tour P or some where in that range, because you have got a "Hell of a lot" of good info. I hope you truly understand this. I hope you have an competitive personality, to find these answers. You will need that! And most of all I hope one day to play a game with you as the level you wish to be. Good Luck on your journey (of scratching and shaking your head, LOL), see you soon, Take Care.
