  Since the new tiers have been implemented, I feel that the distances that now must be covered for both Pro and Master are rediculous and many other players feel the same. You (WGT) are losing the interest of many regular players with this change and it  is just ashame!! Two things could fix this easily. 1- provide drivers that offer ONLY Pro and Master players distances of 290 - 310 yards. This is more like the PGA anyway and at you new distances, that would bring pleasure back into the game!! 2-If you want to make this whole experience even more real, any player (except for program errors) that ends a round without posting the final hole be given a par 72 to their average. Then and only then will a Pro or Master be what they claim to be!!

  Yea, you've made me think about my own distances in real life.  The 7 iron in this game is 145?  I hit mine 155-160 in real life, a 10 yard difference.  Yet a 3-wood in this hits 215 and i hit 250 in real life and 290-300 yard drives, a 50-60 yard difference with the drives in this game!!!

  I actually like the way things are in Black.  Here is why.

  There is not chance I could shoot the score I do here in real life  even though I can hit certain clubs farther.

  I played with a few top guys here today and they all shot over par on the back nine.  I shot +2 for one round.  The tables are now fair and even.

  This is a GAME.  It is supposed to push you to the limit.  I like the kick in the teeth on this circuit. I also know that the metrics and data from the actual course are analysed by the powers that be, and they will make adjustments to maximise revenue.

   

  Are you perfect yet  WGT  not a chance, but you are giving a real good kick at the can and I am happy to play.

   

  peace out.

  water has the same kinda feeling as me.

   

  And besides, isnt it better now. On the old course, I would expect birdies. Now I have to focus and work and when I make a birdie, I get alot more excited than I did before. Cause I earned it
