  I'm not sure if screen shots would show much, unless folks took one of each shot..some just can't record due to computer power.

   

  It's too bad WGT doesn't have the ability to have some type of "mirror" running so all rounds could be replayed..heck, even like auto-replaying-i/e after each shot a replay is saved and then compiled for a complete round, wuold be cool..no need to see meter, aim, etc(although it'd be nice)

   

  I'd have loved to see STK's last round...IIRC he was a few strokes behind Tinybo last year..and knew he had some ground to make up.

  Wasn't meaning you were saying anything that would make me take it the wrong way Mr. Shiner .. I just didn't know where you were headed.  Thanks for the explanation.  That made sense.

  I'd rather see a video of him trying to cook bacon and eggs.   :)

  It was TheLighterDark. He had posted the 115 already. I can't imagine how STK's nerves were.  LOL.

  Bur sir, can you just imagine if screenshots were into play here and you took one on Hole #17 showing the wind direction and another player posted a screenshot of the same hole with different winds makes you think a little doesn't it.

  But I wasn't talking about game conditions screenshots in the beginning of my post. Scorecard stats is what I would like to see.

  Theres really only two holes that give you a obvious advantage.

  2. Tailwind so you can reach in 2.

                - I assume w/ sidewind lvl 98 players are not reaching with R1 Driver?

  10. Right to Left wind.

                 (unless your cutting through trees, it would take huge nuts to do this in the Open Rds)

  2. Yes we can reach it with a crosswind. Left to right is a better wind to go for it.

  10. I've gone for the green in many of the qualifying rounds. Even eagled it couple of times. There's no way i'd go for it in the championship rounds though. It's an easy birdie with 3wood/wedge so i'll take that over a potentially lost ball.

   

  And if i've got a 16+ tailwind on the 4th and i leave myself 295yds for my approach, i can reach that too.

  Here in The Bahamas, I've been playing WTG for some six years and have never had a single round where the meter was smooth due to the dreadful quality of our internet connectivity. Hell, I'd pay good money just to see the meters of the final US Open qualifiers, never mind their shots :)

  Tried it on my first (and so far only) attempt of the quallie. Teed off #10 with a -7, carded a 9 on that hole (3 times trees and 1 creek) and pulled out.

  Ive done the same. atleast 2 or 3 times ive been -7 or -6 on the front, just to blast that fkn tree and ruin the round. Like Dazza says above, the easy bird is with the 3W. But im too greedy for that. :)

  Just my opinion but I'm not going to take the time to take a screen shot every time I hit just to satisfy someone being curious as to what type of wind I had on that shot.

  Just out of wanting to know where in this thread does it say screenshots of every shot. I mentioned scorecard screenshots of the round.

  What I said was if WGT was to make the players post screenshots of whatever hole they chose, it would be interesting if we could see that screenshots from the same hole match up conditions wise.

  There are a lot of folks who watch this game closely (Golf Channel) and when it comes down to a trip or whatever I think we deserve the right to see who is the best player.
