I wrote this post to prove a point. Of course the regulars come out.
Did you really read my post? Or only the part at the beginning with the rant, and then continue on your own rant.
that was always going to happen lol.....it's the nature of forums :)
as for scores being decided by wgt before teeing off as a few have suggested, i think that's incorrect. sure when you play ctth there's a heartbeat sound if you're landing 10ft or closer.....so of course the game program knows your shot outcome to a range radius of 10ft....but that all down to the programming & shot equation.....i mean how else is the game going to work.
simple fact is that it's the human who presses the trigger and if it's within the ideal shot equation, then it'll land within 10ft of the hole.
of course there'll be days when the game goes for you and there'll be days where the game goes against you.....much like real golf actually.
in real life i constantly hit a wrong shot that will land 3 yards from the pin......was this a fluke...or was what i considered to be the wrong shot for that hole actually the correct one? who knows? I may think it was the wrong shot but a golf pro would have said it was the correct choice of club & shot spec because he knows better.
sometimes i hit what i believe is a perfect shot in real life only for it to land way short...or travel way past the pin......that's just golf for you.
you've got to take the good with the bad.
even the best tour pros who win opens and masters etc...will tell you after they've won, that although they had a great round, they left one or two birdies on the course and sometimes thought that double bogey had wrecked their chances.
so i think this game does try to replicate the real game scenarios the best a game can within the limits of programming.
the only thing we need do is to enjoy the round and hope any luck is good luck.
