  RazorbackJack:

  i am new at this-i still don't understand-my driver says it only goes 225 yards

  at full swing. On a par four of over 460 yards, how do i reach the green in

  regulation golf of two strokes. you talk about picking up a bigger stick-how do

  I do that?

  Hi jack i looked and your at the hack tier i may be wrong but i dont there are any par 4;s that are 460 yard's from the front tee's And to get bigger stick's you need to level up to unlock club's, Hang in there it will come to ya.

  Josh - first of all, I don't call learning to play the game 'sandbagging'. I've never played WGT before my sign-up date. But, as with all games I take a liking to, I probably play this one way too much. Now that I have been promoted to Master, the holes are playing much longer and my scores have dipped - but I put a lot of that down to losing the PC and wide-screen monitor I had at my last job and having to play with the mouse buttons on my laptop at home...not nearly as smooth and controllable. Until I master that, I can't see going to a faster meter speed for what, at this point, amounts to about 5-7 extra yards per club.

  You could play Andy's and hope for good wind. 311 yards with my Starter Driver.

  I didn't mean to imply that you sandbagged. I was speaking in the abstract.

  Thanks Josh - I've heard that there are some that come and play, level up, and then create a new profile so they can play at a lower level and wipe the competition and win more credits, etc.

  I just wanted to be clear that's not me. If I can't win straight up, it won't happen. Those other folks are probably ball kickers on the real courses...

  Hit 'em well.
