Tablet guys competing against big boys

  Don't know where to put this - no WGT tablet threads or forums around so will put it here. 

  Played a round on that Ledbetter thing going on right now today on my TABLET. Noticed when I came to WGT site on internet (not the tablet app which doesn't give the whole tourney standings) and found the Ledbetter leader board. Was shocked indeed to see my name mixed in with the desktops. Thought maybe it was segregated to make it more equitable. Almost feel like I'm wasting my $ or £..

  Anyway thought that was interesting.

  Fyi: Started playing in 2007 but went into other interests. Tablet kinda got me interested in playing again, so I'm tablet only now. They still need a lot of updates.

  All have a nice day. Pappy

  Being a 100% IPAD user, I have always wondered if there was an advantage or disadvantage to using a tablet app instead of the internet browser on a desktop to play the game.  Hitting the ding seems to be difficult on the Ipad since it is only 5cm long.  But since I have never played on a PC monitor I can't make a valid judgment.

  On my IPAD, I don't have unlevel lies.  I think this is one thing that the PC format has.  If that is true, I definitely can't complain about the lack of parity between the tablets and PC's.  

  I love playing the courses and the graphics are superb.  I'm still new enough to the app that I'm still learning and not yet bored with the 9 courses that are available for 18 holes.
