I have been looking for a better word than "estimation" although I think it is the best to describe my point.
When I play WGT I do not have;
- tape on my screen
- use of calculators
- Putter pal on
- Shot pal on
- Notebook
- use of the avatar movements to calculate the hit distance
- etc
- ....nothing to help me to "estimate" my shot than my sense of estimation
I am sure I am not the only one who do not use any math help to play WGT. Once I read of a female player, TheAceFactor I think, the same about playing WGT only by estimation and no maths.
....isn't this the spirit of playing "golf" even tho it is only a game?.
You only estimate when hitting the ball in REAL GOLF. Pros are just damn good at it and that is why they are Pros. Shouldn't we do the same in this game?
You may think this is crazy.....but it is a GREAT JOY for me to land a ball close to the pin or get a long putt in ONLY by estimating the several factors involved; iron properties, length, green speed, altitude, wind & grid in putts.
