  "I would love to see some way to make everybody play the same way but I don't think it's feasible with this endeavor."

  
  

  I would be willing to 'pay' a fee per month to play the game where all the players who were members of the WGT Professional Tour. Where those playing were limited to balls with were far more neutral in specs.

  Like say the Lethal's, with minor variations for things like 'distance balls vs high spin balls', but keep in reason, like .5 points, not huge swings and only make like say 4 different ones, not 34. 

  Along with no variation in meter, 2.5 for all of them. If you're gear adjusts the meter, fine... but leave all the balls the same meter. 

  Also, get rid of the 'ding', as in get rid of the 'perfect' ball strike. Leave it there if you want, but just as reference - just remove the 'target code' which locks in the zeroed ball strike. 

  Get rid of the green view for aiming on drives and approaches. 

   

  For those who don't wish to play this way, they just continue playing the game as is... ;)

  While IRL balls do make a difference, here they're the only real means of generating income WGT has.

  And bejesus...these virtual balls truly lack RL durability.  RL golf wouldn't exist if the balls acted in such a weasely manner.  The virtual balls are actually more expensive.  It's almost as f'd up as the bottled water industry.

  Some newer games are very graphic intense, and they provide viewing the hole from all angles, and there is an option where you can make games which turn off the green's moving-dot grid (which isn't in real golf anyway) Then you judge the break by observing the topography just as you would IRL.

  Natch, this is a little scary to gamers who have got used to depending on an artificial illuminated grid, but it may be interesting to actual golf players who use that method on a real green and prefer a realistic simulation.

  realistic simulation

  Isn't that an oxymoron?
