    In real life golf, once you take all the measures upon the shot you must perform, club selection and type of stroke, you end up left only with your swing technique. If everything has been well judged and pulled by you, the outcome of your shot will be very much related with your "keeping your eyes on the ball through your swing".

    Since WGT is a virtual experience, supplying only a mouse clicking accuracy challenge after all the math considerations, the only thing that we can do to accomplish the most centered "click" would be to "keep your eyes on the clicking point (you want to click)".

    Sometimes we want to click before or after the center line, specially while adjusting our putting.  Even then, you must keep your eyes on THAT PRECISE point of clicking and you'll see your accuracy increasing considerably.

    We get so distracted, yet altered sometimes with thoughts, doubts and microseconds of oneness ... funny ! ... so much like in real life golf ! ... Maybe this is one of the aspects why we all fall in love with WGT as well !

    Good clicking everyone !

    PS. Playing in a different computer, specially when using laptop's built in buttons and pointing pad devices, you will experience a different time-latency (per se), that will require some extra time and practice to achieve "clicking accuracy" for it.

    Does anyone here think they're playing real golf?  Does anyone who plays real golf beat their score here?  Just curious.

    The only game I ever did better in than on the computer was Duck Hunt, and that was only after I shot the smart-ass dog.  He was really good served with mashed taters, black-eyed peas, and cornbread.

    Obviously not, but our brains tend to think we do ... funny !

    Another obvious no, but I have to say that certain situations in WGT have helped me a little when some of the criteria match real life golf, and for some mysterious reason I am playing about 10% better now (real golf that is) ... funny !

    Nothing like a good piece of humor ! ... lol
