renniw52: Good enough for me for a little entertainment.
+1 to the whole post Rich, and sums it up - it is a computer golf game that attempts to simulate the real game.
As a computer game, it should be for enjoyment and if someone has become a slave to the game, then IMO, something is wrong. I recently had my longest consecutive day run for months - 7 days....
I too play by feel, as I do on a real golf course, and like the real game, I purely play for fun (and witnessed by Renn in an alt game recently).
When I was younger I played tennis very competitively.......too competitively where winning was the only objective. When I discovered I would never be a top player (after a couple of thrashings by some top players) I gave up on that dream. Suddenly I enjoyed the game and a weight was lifted from my shoulders.
I then took up golf on a regular basis with the view to have fun and sometimes I could play a course to par. The game was fun even when mu scores were poor. It was a social game after tennis and the company was more important than the scores carded. That is the attitude I have on here.
Golf as a game is never consistent, no two shots are exactly the same from a fairway or a tee, and gamers cannot accept that, whereas golfers do.
Yes there are WTF shots occasionally....just like on a real course....only less of them on here as our grip, stance and swing are the same every time.
