  My name is Dave & I'm a UK ex-pat now living in Cyprus.

  I'm just trying WGT to consider transferring from TWO/TW12, possibly bringing my group (UK Expats & Friends) with me.

  Welcome to the game Dave. This game takes some learning but well worth it. I have played TWO and this leaves it for dead in realism. Like all golf games, they all have flaws but I am sure you will love it.

  Any questions just ask.

  Thanks to WGTicon & alanti.

  I'm already finding the change is not as simple as it appears, especially as I'm an "old style" 3 clicker! Every golf game has it's share of flaws, I go all the way back to Jack Nicholson & Arnold Palmer golf games (I know that add years on to my age).

  Already starting to like the challenge very much.

  LOL Jack Nicholson? Typo I know! I learnt to play golf from some JacK Nicklaus books and they got me to a good level too.

  Obviously better clubs make a difference and as in real golf. the short game is going to greatly improve your scores. Worth practising this facet of the game and its a good starting point for clubs (especially the wedges). But I do note you still have the EZY swing 3W - change that to the starters

  Good luck and continue to enjoy.

  Welcome Dave

  This is the best game out there. Hard when you first start but you soon get hooked.

  If you also have a few expat's who would like to play too....  maybe you can start your own  Country Club with your friends as CC members.

  Most important thing is... just have fun :)

  Thanks Roger & atlanti for the welcome and advice.

  Gaining free credits seems difficult other than gaining the 50 for advancing to Amateur level.

  Putting is my biggest problem, but then it always has been :)

    Hello there Dave Shore.. Since were showing our age and  you brought up three click golf games.. I go back to "Lee Trevino's fighting golf" On the old Nintendo entertainment system.. The greens had flashing arrows  to show you which way they were breaking.. Times sure have changed for the better in virtual golf.. Welcome aboard..
