  Common werwi!

   Im not that good, but just take a look at Suncity videos... lol he rarely ding, and in one of his first attemps to make a video he birdie all 9 holes. you can perfectly see every program he is using because you can see his desktop in some parts of his videos...

  Do that and then tell me if you still think that low scores are done thank to cheats...

  Also, you dont have to shot all perfect, you can measure an error marge...For example, when I drive and I miss, I normally miss the center on the right, so every time I aim, I give my shot a range for a mising drive... aply that to the rest of the shots and you will have good shot every time.

  Also playing missing dings, if you know how to do it, is more accurate that try to ding every time... even in the green.

  And I can tell you this, it does not take 90 seconds to do this.

  you are absolutely correct.....but here's the rub....sometimes I need the 90 second timer.......30 secs to make the shot and the other 60 secs to stop laughing when the a$$breaking 40ft birdie rolls in the hole.

  In my case it's pizzing and moaning for 60 seconds when I lip out a  4 footer.

  I am not nearly as good as some of the true legends but I can say that I generally would rather play with 60 seconds.  I can generally hit my shot within the time of the 30 second clock but if the meter freezes and I have to let it go by or if I have a flop that has a lot of break or something it takes more time.  I have played with most if not all of the top Legends on WGT and I would say that 95% of them play within the 30 second time with the exception of putting, some do take longer, maybe that is why their putting stats are better than mine but as has been said before, the key is practice.

  You can look at my stats and see that I am surely no one important but I will tell you what I do know.....

  Inside of our club  I have had the honor of watching my guys tier up. I understand why you are questioning Legends abilities but I remember days of when some learned to drive, when some learned to play tournament greens and the list goes on and on. Now, I am not mechanically inclined as I wish I was. Proof of that is hit the green next to the course I am playing and every once in while you may hear me yell Ooops Sowwy as I almost hit you ! hahahha

  But they are mechanically inclined. A good example of that would be one of the Legends in the club taking on a player here that is now his best friend and every day he played and mentored him. He explained his shots and why he was choosing them. Showed how to move markers, read winds etc...... Now that player is Tour Master and he shoots Legend status but you know what ....... the friendship and bond between them will never be broken.It's bigger then golf.....

  Perhaps there are tools out there that others can use but in watching my guys grow in time I can clearly tell you it is truly possible to do it and no they don't take 90 seconds but they do set up their shot .......but isn't that the key to the game ? Trying to setup the best shot you can make......

  Merry Christmas,

  Was this the video you where talking about. From the legend tee`s. All the utube video`s I have done can be found at normal speed via my live streaming account on my profile.

  some bad shots & good shots but the difference between 62 & 56 is the putter & long range putts made.

  Show me a pro golfer who shoots -10 in a day [on a regular basis]. Show me a major golf tournament which was won with a score of -40 over 4 rounds. !! It don't happen, I've said before the game should be made HARDER to stop these unrealistic scores, e.g. the game does not take into account sidehill/uphill lies on fairways, which affect real golf a helluva lot. That is just one factor, what about weather ? No variables apart from wind, e.g. no rain to 'soften' greens. I could go on, but you get the point.
