2 reasons scores in this game are lower are..b/c of ease of putting and

I think he is on to something here. Driving is relatively easy on this game. We hit driver on most every par 4 and 5. Make it more difficult and instead of moving the tees back and reward a ding with extra distance.
The main reason i joined this site was its promise to be the most realistic golf game available, and it probably is. But there is definitely room for improvement.
One of the most unrealistic things about wgt is the ability for a hack to hit the ball the same distance as a master or legend. I am a hack in real life. Even using, say, Bubba Watson's driver, i could not come close to equaling his distance. It is not the club that provides the driving distance of a golfer...it's the golfers ability. Let a hack or amateur swing the same club but limit the distance achievable. Upgrade distance when a new tier is achieved. When have you ever bought a real driver with a distance specified?...not realistic
Somehow provide the possibility for mishits...say topping the ball or chunking it..(the only way this occurs is by a messed up meter). That would be realistic.
Give us the ability to swing harder but at the risk of lost accuracy...that is real life. If you want to try for the big drive..go for it!...but be careful!
Make it a 3 click method where you can't zero in on distance control if you want to make the game more challenging. Don't simply speed the greens up and move the tee boxes back for legends then allow everyone else the ability to achieve the same distance...not realistic.
By the way...i love the putting here...by far the most realistic part of the game for me.
