Philly1000:
I'll go back to my Tiger Woods PS3 to play thank you. Have tried this game for a number of weeks to give it a chance. First problem; It's not conducive to much success when you can only drive the ball off the tee for 230 yards maximum. That may be realistic for someone who can only drive the ball that far in reality, but not for most. Secondly; It's also not very realistic when you can't read a green until you've either chipped on from the fringe or when you've actually tried one putt. What appears to be uphill is actually down on many greens, or vise-versa. Not realistic. Thirdly: In reality, when I'm chipping a ball from the rough next to a green with a typical wedge, I don't expect to take 2 or 3 cracks at it. In reality, one has to know the power you need in a deep rough, but there is no consistency on this game site. Unlike any other games system that I play on, you cannot get a feel for what you need, because it changes from round to round on this one. Enjoy your day.
Hey there, you wanna play the best golf game ever then stick around, you wanna shoot birdies str8 away then play tiger woods on ps3, TW is easy as the spin you can apply after a shot can rescue any bad shot, on here you make all your decvisions b4 hand and then suffer the consequences
Yoy say you cant chip from rough well thats just lies str8 away, i do it all the time from green side rough(only if it is not more than the chips ball flight to the green).
Key to this game is to keep it simple at first, hit the fairway, hit the green then force your self to learn how to 2 putt from the green, dont go for pins str8 away just go 4 middle of green, this teaches you how to 2 putt from 20/30/40 ft and once learned will blast you forward in his game, once you can 2 putt from anywgere then go for certain pins and pick up birdies where you can.
Next to learn is how to get up n down from a missed green, if in rough then add 20% for 30/40 and 30/40% for 40/50 rough(this a rough guide and doesnt include up/down hill greens).
To me golf is drive for show but putt for dough and mastering the putting and up n down skills is essential.
Dont assume you always judge the shot right and the game is scamming you, 9/10 times it is the golfer who has mis-read the shot or has failed to learn from previous mistakes.
Oh and enjoy and try to have fun, if you aint havin fun then my advice would be enjoy TW and all the birdies you should get every hole, and if you aint -18 for 18 holes on TW then i suggest you quit that as well..
regards
