  started my par 5 tourney was going fine 1st 4 holes birdies....but then game turned.....:(

  putts started stopping short.....clubs started losing yardage again...power meter speeded up.....miss ding by 1 or 2 pixels and the ball starts veering way way off course....

  all this ofc is my fault i am sure that i must be clicking my mouse wrong to get the forgiveness on my clubs to work properly :P.....maybe i need to buy a mouse that is compatible with the forgiveness on my clubs with so many experts out there any one got a recommendation on what mouse i need ?...:P

  God grant you the serenity
  To accept the things you cannot change;
  Courage to change the things you can;
  And wisdom to know the difference.

  Ah.....there just might be an issue with Item 4.

  Jimmy: Can't say I'm a lover of your Driver and 3-Wood being a Vapor man but certainly if you swapped your putter for an L70 Versa and ditched the Rock for the Cally 33's, I reckon you'd be a Leg End before the New Year. Provided you stop putting from the fringe of course.

  james, look at my latest play history. I have been messing around with the best of par fives just because I love the long holes. Had front nine and back nine both 5 under after 5. Then it happens, this game will keep you on your toes and test you with every shot. Look at everything carefully, take your time and calculate. Don't underestimate anything WGT can throw at you. If you use the virtual caddie make sure it is what you need. I missed 2 eagles yesterday because I needed the 30 and not the 15, all my fault. Take it as a game of skill. It is easier to beat yourself than it is for WGT to beat you. Many players averaging low 50's and even one with a 46 average have figured it out. They are not cheating. Many of these players have been friends of mine for a long time. I used to win against many of them, not anymore. They have just put in way more time than I have.

  Virtual Equipment Model.
  If you play well, the software adapts to make the game harder.

  Yes actually! Get a wired gaming mouse, doesn't have to be expensive, Logitec makes some real good cheaper ones....greatly reduces lag time...

  I can't wait to see your threads if by some chance you ever get to the back tees! LOL

  The spider is a good putter. The balls are starters...so enough said on that. I fully agree with not putting from the fringe. I have seen very few players do it well. Far safer to use a wedge (chip, flop, etc)

  I'm not decrying the Spider Colin, it's just that the Versa has better attributes on 3 out of the 4 that are featured.

  if the game is adjusting itself as previous post suggests then how is that realistic like all the "blinkered" keep posting it is....

  i dont see the organisers of golf tourneys running out on to the course to alter stuff if some one birdies the 1st 5 hole in s tourney.....lol...

  but this is what a suspect tbh that as i go into the minus score that randomness becomes more proniunced....ie if i miss ding by 1 pixel and i am at par score nothing happens but if i happen to be -5 then that missed pixel will send my ball 30-40 yrs off course....

  moving the goal posts like this is basically cheating...you ofc may disagree but next time your football team is winning 1-0 and ref denies u a penalty cause your 1 -0 up think about it..lmao
