Are they truly that good, or do they have help?

  I have seen some very impressive scores out there, and what some would say the best of WGT.

  It is amazing however, since I am a computer gui, and I know that every single PC has some sort of clitch.

  1. being consistent with with the mouse click at the perfect time all the time.

  2. having the perfect distance on every shot all the time.

  3. having a perfect meter on every shot and every game.

  4. And finally, as humans being able to have the exact reaction time each and every game.

   

   

  Well to accomplish the above, it is physically and mentally impossible to accomplish this, unless you have some sort of assistance in doing these things for you.

  WGT is constantly changing people's equipment, the greens all of the time, Even the best PGA touring Pro's can not accomplish this on a consistent basis.

  I have played many legends before, name are not important here. But they have made some very impressive shots every single time.  So I really started to wonder to myself, how?

  So what I do, is after we played, they tell me to set it up and we can play again.  So I do set it up at the same course as we just played, but instead of the 90 sec clock, I set it up on the 60 sec clock.   Believe it or, out of three legends that I have played over the past few months, all three quit, saying they can't play on a 60 sec clock.

  Well that answered my question about me doubting they were really that good.  I was up -3 on the first three holes as nether one of them had birdied.

  Did you know there are only a few courses that WGT has here, and for the most part, the Legends like myself have many ranked rounds under there belt.  And I know for myself that in the first three seconds I know pretty much what I want to accomplish and what Iron or driver I will use,  And I can tell you this, it does not take 90 seconds to do this.

  Now this is not to take away from many legends out there in which I am friends with many of them, and I see that even they are not perfectly consistent all the time, especially with WGT changing our club heads and greens all the time.

  I have an idea.:) why dont some top players live stream a ready go,Now here is the catch:),We could make it a challenge also,The quickest live streamed ready go ( 9) holes is the winner,So if you live stream yourself and it takes11 mins and you have 5 birds ,you deduct 30 seconds for each birdie and 1 min off for an eagle,So 9 holes played Ranked ready go,11 mins minus 2.5 mins for 5 birds =8.5 mins total.Anyone interested,:)

  Why do bowlers get 270's every time

  Why do golfers shoot -10 in a day

  Why do the same tennis players usually win

  Why are the best pool players always so good

  Why do horseback riders jump things everytime so perfect

  Why do accountants make figures perfect every time

  look at someones scrambling %   if its way below 50% they dont know the ropes, if its 60%   they are prolly a really good player

   

  ITS ALL ABOUT THE PRACTICE AND ACCURACY!!!  

  THE MORE YOU PLAY THE BETTER YOU GET

  PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  especially with WGT changing our club heads and greens all the time.

  1'st , this accusation is (as it stands) baseless. I personally despise a 30 sec. clock. 45's ok ,  60's fine. Are you insinuating that a cheat program has a time lapse ? I mean , I'm not getting that one.

  2. having the perfect distance on every shot all the time.

  3. having a perfect meter on every shot and every game.

  4. And finally, as humans being able to have the exact reaction time each and every game.

  Here , you may have something...but , I would suggest  you visit those players stats and check their 1 putts...compare them to your own. Compare their par 3 , 4 , and 5 avg.'s to your own.  Compare their scrambling and sandsaves to your own.

  See , when I said you had something , you do. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes , some rounds not. The difference in the solid players in which you refer is that they "know how" to get up and down. The players with the mega low avg.'s who posted only good rounds and rushed through tiers forgot one thing. They have no short game. When they find trouble , (and they will) , they're toast. Maybe if you considered taking some added time on top of your 3 sec. decisions , you may find more consistency yourself. That's not intended to be a poke at you , but although you may or may not have a pre-shot routine. Many players do including myself. That pace of routine has developed over a long period of time and players are going to naturally play at their own "developed"  pace.  How you drew something else from that ...well never mind.

  Werwin... converting "tough pars" is a very underestimated weapon around here. Players can wise up or continue to get bit.

                                                                                                                             Ace

  Agree with this - id just add that at 60% or over it means the player just knows how to get out of trouble...
