Sande1: I really like WGT for how good they have made the courses and the realism of the play. But I really think it is silly when you need to shoot a 57 to qualify for a tournament. That is not real. I have been playing for years and never visited the forum before. But I have to imagine that those who shoot these ridiculous scores have some sort of cheats. Am I wrong? I know you can pay for the best equipment to improve your chances at scoring but it can't just be that.
1. Like Mike said, some do (and the rest of his post is also true)
2. As far as the gear goes, the difference between the best and yours is at least 5 strokes per 18 holes, maybe more.
3. You've been a member for a long time, but don't really play that much. I've played more rounds in the last 3 days (not as much as the best here do though) than you've played this whole calendar year. Maybe that's why you think 57 and under needs to have cheating involved. I posted a 57 on my 4th attempt (no restarts), now I'm enjoying a very limited amount of time, before this score won't make the cut any more and I'll have to try to better it (I hate grinding it out in unlimited tourneys).
