HackWilson1930: The equipment that you mention are a part of the real game of golf
Newsflash.
you aren't playing real golf.
you are clicking a mouse or tapping a screen all while watching a bar move across your screen.
Your most important golfing accessory is a calculator.
you probably aren't happy if you aren't breaking 60.
this whole idea that "real golf" doesn't have it so a video game should not is comical. you've accepted lots of differences already.
does adding +40 points to a hat for driver distance function any differently than buying a driver that has 6 more yards than your previous one?
bottom line you can accept it if it's pixels on a screen shaped like a ball or club but not if it's a hat or glove.
