  Mine's still there.  Would be lost without it.  LOL  :-)

  Yep. I have a different post-it for each (major) green speed, and over on the left are 90, 80, and 70. The rest of each post-it has general info re: Rough, Putt traverse time, and Unevens.

  It takes all kinds.

  A few nights ago, I was partnered with a Champion, who gave me hell for using a chip shot from the fringe, 8 yards from the cup. He insisted -- and both our opponents backed him up, at some length -- that the chip was the worst shot in WGT, and that the only shot that made sense from there was a flop.

  Now, I happen to like the flog shot a lot, but I've holed a helluva lot more chips than flops.

  If you are happy chipping and you get good results, that's all that matters.

  A 64W chip trumps that flop all day from there. A Champion that espouses a flop over a chip from that position needs to have his/her head examined. The chip is an exceptional shot if you take the time to learn it and was totally correct from that lie. It's only the worst shot if you never learned it.

  On this, does forfeiting games cost any penalty?

  Somewhat yes, your completion ratio goes down and your green checkmark will go to yellow and then to orange. Most people won't play with someone with an orange badge.

  Yup.

  My 1st thought on reading that was that he must've been a red tee champion.

  I fully agree. I once got lectured by my own partner for using a putter to escape a deep bunker...pfft.

  I've learned to drown out the nay-sayers and play my own game..:)

  ( before shot, or putter pal ) some of us made homemade versions of them, and taped them to our monitors for visual reference points.

  Mine's still there.  Would be lost without it.  LOL  :-)

   

  Yep JY, mine's a little different, I use a clear plastic overlay for driving distances an' for putting increments. i haven't changed it in five years, the ink's wearin' a little thin, 'bout time for a new one , lol.

  first need the credits to do so

  You don't need credits to join.

  I think you may need them to start one. Not sure, as I've never done that.
