BEgan1:
thanks!
while "Pinhunter" seems to have done a lot of work on this "Help" / C C website it doesn't address my frustration...?
WHY CAN'T WGT ACTUALLY PROGRAM OUTCOMES THAT ARE MUCH CLOSER TO THE REAL GAME I'VE PLAYED FOR 45+ YRS. Hmmmmm...?
Well some very good and helpful players have given advice, but your grudge is on the realism.
It is a computer game and as APEX said, should be treated as such.
I too have played golf for many years, and for a lot of that, had a low handicap. I have played many great courses all around the world, included 2 on here (St A's and KIA).
A ball in the rough (50-60%) rough - I will be honest - you will be lucky to find it, let alone get the ball 150 yards down the fairway - you play for the fairway without being greedy.
These are championship courses, not you local municipal that barely has rough.
And in your 45 years of playing golf, did you use old wooden shafted clubs, because the are akin to the starters. Spend some coin and spent wisely, you will notice a huge difference.
And in your 45 years of golf, with crap equipment, did you go close to breaking par on some of the hardest courses in golf???? No I doubt it.
This is by far the most realistic golf game, but it takes patience and time to learn it (you seem to have neither as you are only level 55 and been here a 18 months).
What you are asking is for the game to become easier, if the programmers do what you request, this game will become a farce - as it is players who have spent the time in learning the game and mastering it already shoot very low.
If you don't like it, leave, it is not like you contribute to the coffers but expect the programmers to take the time and make changes for you. PFFFFTTTTTTT
