I am probably one of the minority but to me this game has always had a pretty tight learning curve and thrown in with the recent VEM changes over the past month or so I like the challenge even more now.
Yeah its messed up when you think you hit a perfect shot only to get not so nice results but being a pro athlete in my past I have had situations that seemed perfectly right go perfectly wrong and I always blamed it on myself and the "sports" golf Gods :)
If your still in the mood to give I am a cheap date and simply love the Level 53 Callaways (Legend Balls) . Only 250 per sleeve with vapor :)
If you do quit all the way hopefully there will be a new golf sim to sway you back into cybergolfing soon.
