  The vidio golf guros 'show' you how they play the game,

  That's a good point....I'm sure many of us think we have a "secret" here for certain shots, etc...and keep it to ourselves, but two of the best players on WGT put the whole sha-bang on YouTube and say "this is how I do it".

  On top of that, another of the top WGT'ers has offered to assist me "anytime" I would ask.  He's in the same CC as the above I mentioned.

  Why do I bring this up?

  Simple, these guys/gals have it figured out and do not have concerns being beat, etc...in fact I know I have seen them with many WD's in RG's by their name.

  I think they have finally hit a sweet spot that WGT has treated them well, and they are giving back.

  Okay, enough mushy crap...

  I have got more hints at watching those vids than actually reading the tips in the forum. I reckon they're great.  It's fantastic that some of the better players make the time and effort to show the rest of us at how the game can be played.

  From these videos I learned that I was putting too meekly. It's taken me a couple of weeks to kind of iron things out with this new method because when you miss it's a bit more distance back to the hole than I was used to, but I do think it will eventually improve my game. I like to think of it as analogous to Tiger changing his swing. And if I keep playing this game so much, my wife will probably come at me with some golf clubs--I hope she uses the virtual ones.

  Thanks for posting the video because it really is helpful. Like the kids say, haters gonna hate. Sorry, I mean h8rs gna h8.

  ooooooooooh.....so....kind of like real golf.  huh. lol  So by reading your post one may determine that paying special attention to the break around the hole, when the ball is slowing down,  may be something worth looking at. Weird.

  I really study the vidios,,,the diff player styles of play. It's fun to watch them knock it in every hole a birdy or eagle. I get more outta watchin them play than any other tool.

  It blows me away how many tips iv'e gotten just watchin the u-tube or diviation vidios & takin a few notes.  I have now adopted a more thorough shot routine after further study & now hole a lots more putts.

  I have fun watchin someone shoot a perfect game,,hell its great.

  Too all the muppets on WGT. Go play Tiddly winkes or some other game, if you can't play virtual golf.

  For me, he's top draw. Love him to bit's, and i'm a fella......(straight i might add lol). So, carry on what your doing BIB and kick ass, i can watch your video's all day long, and you never now.....one day, just one day, i may be honoured and play you in matchplay. What a thought..("Play I said, not win". LMAO).

  Anyway's,,,, spent enough time here in the  forum, got to get playing. How else can i get as good as the master. So take care BIB, play well, enjoy your golf, and please keep the video's coming.     Roy

  Heath021:

  Just was wondering if anyone has been viewing a certain someones play on youtube.  Let me start off by saying I have the same clubs and balls.  My mishits are more punishing than the ones ive seen on there.  Also, his putts dont seem to break at all.  Ive had those same putts over and over...my putts always break alot more on the same tournament greens.  

  Just saying lol lol lol lol lol lol lol 

  I like all the "lol's" at the end.... Bullox is nice enough to show how he does it then you accuse him of cheating?  lol.. that is pretty funny.
