BacardiAndCoke:In my opinion, i believe that some of the holes on this game have
been extended to far with the winds that WGT throw up, which have made
this game unrelistic, as every hole should be reachable in regualtion,
no matter even if you have to hit hybrid or wood in you gotta be able to
reach not matter what the wind is,
I'm talking real golf now, but unfortunately Jess, there is nothing in the rules of golf that says holes should be reached in regulation. Par 3's are generally up to 250yds, par 4's to 475yds and par 5's after that. However, this isn't strictly adhered to either. Reaching a green in regulation depends not so much on the clubs but on the ablity of the player. And in high winds things that would normally be possible are impossible and vice versa. I you ever play a real links course you will know what I mean. I will never forget a round at Siloth-on-Solway on the Cumbrian coast where I hit a 4i into a 140yd par 3 hole, then later in the round an 8i onto a 195yd par 3. The difference between a real (single day) golf competition and one on WGT is that the wind is random and different for each player and therefore possibly unfair. However, I understand why they do this.
The thing that is the leveler in real golf is player's handicaps which unfortunately WGT don't have. But in real golf at pro level where all players play off scratch, players still don't all drive the same distance and some may be hitting a wood into a green whilst longer hitters will be hitting mid irons.
So, to summise, you have got to play the best you can in whatever the conditions are with whatever equipment you have. That is about as real as real golf is.
