  You can do it......used to do 5000+ everyday for months. (without boosts) a few more surveys and you're home and dry !

  Depends how much you really want it..:)

   

  How did you manage 5000+ per day?  How many hours did you put in per day?  How many divorces did you go through?

  Look in the 'let's be honest' thread..19th hole I think ? (and more posters here should respond there..n1 Big Squirrel :)

  Never been married..no kids either ! :))

  And 6x 400 xp 18 holers + 4 o 5 Alt games a day with daily bonus ....SORTED !!

  Easier to do when you've busted every bone in your ankle, coming off a motobike and are laid up for months BUT..I carried on in the same vein once I could walk again.

  It's all about how much WGT grabbed you ?

  I love the math that's needed, the dedication in learning that, whether it be through trail and error or gleaning 'nuggets' from the Forum back in Master tier days AND then learning through trial and error.. + the chess play in MP..

  I guess you could say I was hooked from day one even though I wasn't very good at it back then...(only 15 months ago having had 3 ish off )

  Edit: in 'Everything else'..just bumped it. :)

  One thing about this update though, my meter has never ever been smoother. Not a pause, skip or jump in sight, hope its for good.

  But i definitely feel shafted by the black r1, yet another few holes where both opponent and i used full spin in headwind and yet another few holes I've been out driven by 15+ yards, Its a FRAUD, and i will be sending you an e-mail to get my money back.  This is plain WRONG!

  I have been a Links 3-clicker for years, and thought WGT's 3-click meter would be a nice change of pace.  For moi... NOT SO!.  Used the Maxthon4, Comodo and Pale Moon browsers, cleared the cache, and equiped the 3-clk meter.  Played three holes at StA, 3 holes at BPB and three holes at Kiawah.  Same result in all three... 3-clk meter flutters going up and coming down.  Not so much as stuttering, but more like watching my old 8mm home movies.  Sorry 3-click meter, you're just not for me.

  A big time out for everybody thinking they got hosed. It's not about the distance it's about the forgiveness. The R1 unquestionably improves the game over an R11s simply because it's actually pretty hard to mishit and wind up in the rough. More fairways hit means better approaches and lower scores. 

  The R11s and a Nike 5 dot ball is about the same as the R1 with a Callaway 3 dot ball. The R1 with the 5 dot Nike trumps everything. I've used them both and studied the daylights out of it and if you bought that R1 you did good.  :-)

  BobbyDerek:

  All in all, making the R1 black available at 93 is an obvious and smart move. you probably have to double your XPs from level 93 to 98. For a lot of players that might be 12-18 months or more of play and, frankly, pretty discouraging. I'm sure WGT have worked out it's in their interests to take those players' money now. Who knows where WGT will be 18 months or two years from now?

  good point

  Icon,

  Thanks for the updates. Merion full course is very much appreciated.

  I tried the 3 click meter and it brought back many good memories of golf-days-gone-bye. The only issue I had with the 3 click is it would sometimes (6-7 times in 18 holes) not recognize the 3rd click and would "whiff". No harm done, just had to try again.

  Keep up the great work, you guys are amazing!

  Highest regards,

  Ice

  New meterset, ok have to give it a try, 3.click on 3-holes practice 3 diff. courses, well its not me, 1 click is way enough to get stutt or ultrafast strophic lightningspeed, just saying how consisrnet wgt is, and its not my browser flash or cache make the game various speed from hole to hole, its just wgt's way to do vem when you get high lvl legend. I wont pay more for a driver when i can get it on lvl 98 within a month, i only need 121000 points to 98. Verical i havent tried yet, and i doubt i ever will, have used the horisontal since the first day here, so why change that habit/way to look on screen and avatarmoves when set power.

  I've played 4 rounds with a friend at congressional, RSG best of famous and bethpage.  On every course i was getting out driven by 10 to 20 yards on 70% of the holes.  The other 30% i was v.close.  On every shot he would tell me if he was using spin or no spin so our drives could be measured and he knew we wanted to compare drivers.  The black R1 with what I've seen is inferior and is more like old R11 than supposedly identical to R1 white

  Where my drives finish up, my friend with level 98 R1 would bounce where i landed and then continue for extra 10+ yards all the time!!

  Straight to the crux.....you'll have to stop be so sensible Yj..

  Whatever its merits on length I reckon I could close my eyes after 7 or 8 looks at how long it takes to get to ding line in my minds eye...and do that count and still not rough it ! (On st As)
