  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.

   

   

  Just one note, to shoot a great score you only have to "perfect" (good is a better word) on one shot. 

  I/e it may be a 25 foot putt, a 190 yard approach to 4 feet, etc, it doesn't take 3 perfect shots to birdie a par 4.

  i  am sorta new,   a new master.  i need 90 secs which i don't use every shot but on some shots i still need to look at my notes especially around the greens.  i played st Andrews yesterday and a 45 sec clock and i was not comfortable.  i pared the round but several shots i could have used more time.  i am also 66 and my reflexes and brain does not function as fast as some of you pups.  however as a tp i could play in 30 secs  as i pretty well knew what to do from each lie.  so i believe its up to the individual .  in a contest  go for 30 sec  .  but to me i enjoy the game too much to worry about time.  i like to chat etc.  so i enjoy 90 sec  and will not play anything faster.  just my opinion  striker

  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.

  You have it so wrong, Dude you need To Learn There are people out there better than you are. Looking for a conspiricy theory must be in-bred there, Is it Possible that the ''Top Players'' may just have the talent you lack?

  Not many Like the 30 second Timer but im sure would do it if needed. There is a 90 timer there for a reason and trust me WGT thought the process thru in doing that. Well enough of that Look me up Im by no stretch of the imagination one of the top Players here but will Gladly take you on, with a 30 Sec timer.

  Having said that, concentrate more on your game Practice and ...Hold on a second............ Maybe think your shot thru longer than 3 seconds (calculating and all)and you may just hit your shots more consistently, even closer.....O wait this is speed golf   ha ha ha or is its someone "one sandwich short of a picnic basket"

  Just saying

  Congratulation on your membership and as a Master. I do know exactly what you are saying about your reaction time and how each person reacts differently.

  This is my hole point to those that shoot a 25 or 26 constantly each game. We are all human and no one even the pro's can be consistent all of the time.

  The funny thing, I got a real good laugh out of one legend, that told me he would play me a 30 sec clock and give me twenty dollars if I beat him.  Well first of all, not even the best in the world can make that kind of statement unless he or she is cheating.  I am also a Legend, and I have won many more games than I have lost, and at all tier levels.  But not once have I ever made a statement about beating someone and pay him if he could beat me.  That would be totally ignorant on my behalf.

  Just to let you know that one of my best friends on WGT is also a Master, But I just know that there are some folks that are out there that are so competitive, that they would do anything to win. Including cheating.

  And I wish you lots of fun and enjoyment with WGT, you sound like a real nice person and would enjoy playing golf with you any time..

  Werwin. Mate you sound extremely bitter of better players. I'm better than most players, but then again there are massive numbers of users on this site. So of course after the amount of time I've played I am going to be better than "Most". Does not mean I am better than the best.    i.e, Timbo1984 is better than 51% of the players on this site.

  You seem to have what they dubbed Napoleon with, "little man syndrome". Just because there are players out there that can do what your mind finds impossible, does not mean they are, in your words, "cheating". Or infact, does it mean that what they do is impossible.

  Meaning you play faster than what other players do, (who ARE better than you) does not mean that you are better, It means nothing actually. Not sure you heard that...I'll repeat...It means nothing. They can still beat you, they are still better than you are at this game...and you are still finding a way to justify that with something as small and reaching as a claim like "They can't beat me on a certain timer". Would be awesome to watch you play them on a live stream game.

  So i suggest someone needs to put this poodle back on his leash, the neighbours might complain about the noise.

  Who does that?  Best "average" on here is about 55.5, which equates to an average of 27.75 strokes per 9 holes - for that player's best games as a legend.

  Y'know, claims that you can't back up with cold, hard facts.....are completely meaningless.

  The shot clock is about comfort. I like the 90 but need about 15 sec. Nevertheless, I don't want my mind focused upon a time frame. I have, from time to time, though extremely rare, burned up the 90 sec shot clock.

  I am amazed that whenever the "question" is asked, everyone assumes that cheating would be some magic program that dings shots or sinks putts.

  It is a scoring game.  The most straightforward cheat would be one that manipulated or changed the posted score.

  Now I wouldn't have a clue how, or even if such a thing is possible.  But when it comes to computers and programs I've learnt to be pretty open minded to almost any possibility.  All I'd say is that I have seen from time to time, a lot of closed RG's awaiting a couple of scores hours after closing and miraculously both scores tie for first....  Possible?  Yes.  Probable?  Mmmmmm
