Take it from another long-time video golfer--this game is different. I was once a top Links player (this game is more similar to that that TWO) and am extremely good at computer golf games in general. It took me a long time to find this one (shockingly, as I am kind of a virtual golf addict) and like you, I am WAAAY behind the big boys here. Even playing daily for the past few months I have a long way to go, like YEARS. I too wish I had played a lot less TW, but instead of griping, I would recommend just playing more.
I can assure you that the top players here are not scared of anyone. I've had the pleasure of playing with many players who are much better than myself and they are generous with their time and tips and advice. I always tell them I'm going to be coming for them in competition someday and the overwhelming reception has been "bring it on."
If you crave competition and have not yet joined the WGTLS ladders, I highly recommend doing so. That will help your game out a lot more than despairing at the thought of VEM or whatever. The things I've notice most about top players is that they shrug all that off. When they get metered into a bush, they chop it out, hit the next one to a foot of the flag, drain the par putt, and it's on to the next hole. From what I'm reading here, you'd rather withdraw after a couple of bad shots? That's not going to make you a better player.
Just my opinion and probably ain't worth a tenth of someone like mrenn's. Take it easy, hit'em straight, and don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy out there. Over 'n' out.

Maybe you should go back to a game where you can conrtrol in flight ball movement.Just my opinion.
I'm sorry i wasted so much time at TWO, and sure i'd be kicking mrenn29 off his spot by now,hehe. I'll take your advice and slow down now... Thanks again, auf Wiedersehen.
