  That's just another way of saying have a good PC with very few meter issues. 

  Okay good deal.  Now, if only having a good PC made my trigger finger work better then you would be on to something.

  Thanks for understanding. I don't encourage cheating.

  OP, I used to feel just like you.  However.....

  Through lots of practice, posting in the forums, joining an active country club, and an increased understanding/knowledge of the game and it's courses, I can tell you it's very much possible for any player to achieve.

  I played a round at Oakmont yesterday and carded a 30.  I ran a bit hot but it still felt like any other round as it was happening.  I missed one birdie putt because I forgot to note the green speed, and I made one bogey due to a stupid risk.  Take away two simple mistakes and it's a 28.  

  I know it wasn't a 28, but the fact is I never got all nervous or even really noticed how well I was doing.  All a sub-30 nine requires is some solid shots (not even a lot of dinging), hitting it close to the flag, making the putts you should make, and a bit of good variance for a lucky shot here or there.  Two lucky shots and/or a good par save and you are seriously there.....on any given day.

  It could happen to me tomorrow.  It probably wont, but I can see that it could strike me at any time.

  I think I am OK and enjoy WGT.. but .. best round ever is 68.  I see these scores that are so low.... am asking players who have done it... is it only when u get the best clubs and balls that this starts to happen??  Or am I mssing some "special" setting...???  Or at a certain level???   Cheers!

  Its called lots of practice...a 58 or 27 is not that hard to do..

  I shot my 27 with Ping Raptures and the cheap B-XD balls a long, long time ago. It was just one of those rounds where I couldn't miss a shot, and I haven't done it again since.

  But I have gotten close, and it's because I know the courses better now, not because of any upgrade in equipment. Better equipment does help for sure, but not in this particular instance.

  Forget 57, how about those players that break 50, or have 52-54 averages?  I'd love to sit behind dan for a round and see how he does it - I'm sure it would be an education.

  You and me both, that would be one seriously cool feature for WGT to bring out..

  Like round 4 of the virtual us open flashback, you choose the player you want to watch and pay a small fee and voila..WGT takes a cut and the player gets cut..

  I'd pay for that any day of the week :-)

  60/70% one putts....!!!!  A 58 is a walk in the park.
