  On a lighter note....I just want to say, that was an amazing match to watch !

  It was an absolute "clinic" for me. I was really shocked when Bollox hit waaaaaay to the left on the par 5 on the back...to a place I thought was out of bounds!

  Not only was the shot selection, putting finesse and factoring of wind (very unkind winds for that match BTW), but the course management decisions were informative and revealing.

  Any time I start to feel cocky, I'll just remember what I saw and it will promptly put me back in my place....lol.

  TY Icon, BnB and AvLee for putting that on !

  WGTicon:

  meter in 4some MP is different than single player.

  Does that mean its worse? and if so is that admitting there's a problem with it and its not just our cpus?

  And to the above post, if you mean extreme left near OOB on the par 5, back, (if i'm thinking of right place,correct me if i'm in wrong place), it's a very handy place to aim for in heavy winds if you can't clear the bunker, then gives you a 140ish yarder to pin so you can still make birdie..but watching the stream was a good way to compare your game with the experts to see if they do things differently.

  Exactly Chris....I did not know this. Of course OB is nearby and it is a mite risky, I assume.

  Oh.. about the meter I meant for me, broadcasting with 2 others. I was doing highest solution possible, and feeding at 1 meg/sec, so my meter was a jello.

   I don't know where replay is at :(

  It seemed quite smooth watching it, but on some ocasions you would play shot without meter getting shown

  I only watched the last 6 holes, but I noticed that you played incredibly well despite an extremely choppy meter...You also played incredibly fast...I guess you were trying to keep the focus on the the 2 principles..

  Hey pard... Yeah, I have layed up there before when the wind is right at you, and ya can't clear the bunker, rough etc... But watchout..!!!!  Oscar Brown's property is very close on the left, and he marks his land with small white stakes..

  Icon plays that fast all the time......After so many games, you get to know almost every single shot and its just a matter of a quick aim, spin, distance and shoot.

  Cheers,

  Actually, you guys had a delay. I would hit the shot and only after it landed it would be seen. You cannot judge my meter based on a video. For it was entierly different timing than I am used to.
