P.S...............Last night, I watched the VIDEO produced by the "DEVIATIONS" CC (IF you aren't familiar with this CC, every member is a LEGEND).
First, I have to admit, I really haven't personally watched EVERY WGT video.....but, I have watched enough to UNDERSTAND.......HOW the "blue triangle" can be very helpful to your game here on WGT. OK, this is a VIDEO GAME, so we get to use this & the moving grid on the greens.........PGA players don't have these golfing tools to help their low scores.
I watched the VIDEO.....and saw HOW the player (Avatar) ALWAYS used that "blue triangle" really on EVERY SHOT. From the tee shot, fairways and when he was putting. And, I watched WHICH club he selected for various shots. Think he was off the fairway ONLY 1 time.....staying on the FAIRWAYS is a huge help too - but, we all know....we do play from rough, fescue, sand, etc......but, not because we want to....LOL.
When he was putting......and it looked like there was approx. 6 inches of break from right to left.....he would move the "blue triangle" over to the right of the hole, then, using the right distance on the "swing meter", he would putt the ball and "HIT THE DING"...the center white line.......when he hit the DING, the ball would go straight at the "blue triangle" and drop right into the hole. I watched all 9 holes in this video.....he hit 8 birdies out of the 9 holes. I KNOW......this is probably nothing NEW to most of you.....this is maybe how YOU play your rounds here on WGT.
That being said.........I do use that "blue triangle" to some degree.....but, I have NEVER used it on the 701 ranked rounds I have hit (WHEN I WAS PUTTING). I just read the greens using the "moving grid"....and putt. Well, my (1 putt average is only 35%, I think).....most of the BEST Legends have an average for (1 putts - over 50%).
But, what I read on here about PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.....I believe is key. Learn each course and green.....even taking notes. Even PGA members study holes & greens BEFORE Tournaments. Play courses....OVER & OVER untl you really KNOW each hole....fairways, greens.....every hole seems to sort of have it's own "personality" if you will.
Also, something that has been pointed out to me.......GREAT APPROACH SHOTS make all the difference in the world. The first couple of months I played on WGT.....I think my average for "approach shots" was 29 feet.....well, chances of a ONE PUTT from that distance is just NOT GOOD. I am NOW averaging beween 8 and 15 ft. on my approach shots AND that improved my PUTING......STILL, need to IMPROVE my "one putts"!!!
Some really good comments in this thread......I really appreciate eveyone's time and helpful tips here!
