my take! why are so many players (?) concerned with what clubs they get? if everyone gets the same club/ball/tee/greenspeed/wind, and anything else i forgot! that means it is player-to-player, and obviously many players (?) are not willing to be naked and exposed!
ladies and gentilmen, it is a video game! it's free! nobody will go to jail, no one is gonna call your boss, if you were discreet about your user name, no one knows who you are! why then all this babbaling about all the tools? i don't understand!
maybe it just might be great fun to compare the abilities of the different players without benefit of weapon choices. in my opinion those who are starting, or are not able to purchase all the whizz-bangs, and gadgets should jump on this opportunity to show everyone what they have. and thats my nickle.
