  I really enjoy this game but, it is so frustrating. On a chip shot why does the by stop dead in its track when in hits the fringe. Same with the rough on a drive. If you land it in the rough the ball takes on bounce. I will hit a sand wedge into a green and I put spin on it. The ball checks up and by putt is severely down hill. Why doesn't the ball spin back? The swing meter just cost me big time in a tournament. I will still play but, it needs some fixing.I

  More than likely you used less than 75% power on your swing which is a definite no-no when chipping from the rough. On the ball spinning back you won't see a lot of that with the starter balls. Switch to a ball with 2 dots of spin rating and you'll be able to back it up.

  Unless your willing to invest a lot!!!! and I do mean a lot of TIME, or your own money (Don't do it). Just stop playing. You really need to dedicate time and effort to learn the game and get the best equipment. Without it the game has lots of flaws it use's to get you sucked in.I just wanted to practice and play for fun but without the right equipment  you get nowhere but frustrated. A shame because the game is fun just not fair for rookies or people who have better things to do than play games on the internet. Good for you Jim for being dedicated and helping people as much as you can

  I am not concerned with the equipment if I put a bet down on someone with better equipment than mine all the more better. My issue is with the gutless Dissconecters golf is a gentalmens game act like one if you loose take it and learn from it I don,t know how many times I get to the last hole and a dissconect happens grow up. But on a good note I was playing a pro I am a amature and he let me win on the last hole because of my good game and keeping up with him brovo pro.
