  I don't know but in real golf if some does 59.  It;'s big deal.   This is a simulation

  of real golf.   So if someone shoots low 60's high 50 I think that good playing.

   

  However seening scores in low 50's then something else is happeing.  I don't 

  know call cheating but definitly using some sort of device to make every shot perfect 

  so birdie every hole?  Whats next 40 for 18?

  I guess if there I could push when I start each perfect.  Then I wouldn't relly need to 

  play the game.

   

  Now I just turned Tour Pro & been playing this game about 9 months.  I have played a lot of alt & almost 150 ranked rounds.

  Played with lot different levels and seen lot of goods from everybody and bad I think that

  what makes the game if every shot perfect.  Then u wouldn't need to play just push say

  50

  Thanks

  Not this one again? Just because you can't do it, it doesn't mean others can't.

  Don't dismiss it so easily.  He's got a valid point.

  What is valid about it?

  The only time you see the low 50's is when they allow Legends and good TMs to tee off from the ladies tees with unlimited play or unlimited play alone.

  Check some of the RG closed tournaments and tell me how many 54s and below you see winning these. The lowest I've seen that has won a RG has been 56 and that was on BPB where par is 70. I got lucky and shot a 57 this morning on STA. To be honest, it should have been a 55. It's called being in the zone. You're making damn near every putt and even your missed dings are missed on the correct side. It happens. Play this game long enough and it'll happen for you some day.

  My point is this doesn't happen in every tournament. Just the ones you're allowed to play over and over and over and over.

  AND before you say "56's are too low!" The RGs rotate. So you play the same courses, same conditions over and over and over. If you have any ability at all to comprehend the information that is given to you during those rounds and get in the zone it's not that hard to go low.

  The OP should not be concerned about playing virtual golf ... they should be more concerned about basic grammar.

  Put any PGA pro on the ladies tees and you'll see some scary low scores also. Just my nickel.

  The more I play this game the more convinced I am that there is some serious cheating going on here. I've been playing almost every day for the last two years. I have bought all of the latest equipment and balls, have blazing hot Internet and a fast computer and the absolute best that I've ever been able to post under weak course conditions has been -12 for 18 holes.

  Yet I am to believe that the current leader of the NKF Cadillac tourney was able to shoot -22 with a score of 50? Pardon me ... but Horse Hockey! The only way I'll believe it is if I can see it with my own two eyes by standing behind the guy while he plays and watching every move he makes.

  I have missed the ding in this supposed simulator by as little as two friggin pixels then watched my shot go 15 yards offline. I've hit perfectly struck putts from close in only to watch the ball either float directly over the cup, thus defying the laws of gravity, or perfectly circumvent the hole to wind up 2 inches away on the opposite side of the cup. I've watched 8 mph quartering winds blow shots 15 yards offline. So please don't try to blow smoke up my ass by telling me that others are just plain better at this game. I've put in the time and have seen firsthand how this thing works.

  In order to achieve these super scores, someone would have to have PERFECT reflexes and a completely predictable outcome on every shot. I can tell you for a certainty that neither of these is possible to achieve given the inconsistencies I've personally experienced in this game. I am more convinced than ever that these tournament scores are either the result of cheat software or possibly even manufactured by WGT themselves to keep legitimate players from winning up a bunch of credits so that they don't have to buy them.  Prove me wrong please or just stay out of it. I don't need to hear a bunch of smart ass remarks from those who have no clue what I have experienced firsthand. Something is just not right here and I think that most of you know it but are afraid to say it out loud.

  I absolutely agree with you. I had also heard first hand that there are cheat softwares out there.  I also experienced more than once, slow moving balls directly over the hole that escaped the laws of gravity..LOL.

  And as for Ivietri, have you ever thought that maybe that poster is not american?  I mean, how many languages can you speak and write flawlessly?

  When you learn how to deal with each of these situations properly and have the exact yardage you need to recover, you then sir will shoot in the low 50's with out any assistance from any software. 

   

  To the OP, 150 Games played!  :)
