WGTChampion:But if you can't drop the birds and eagles because of lips out's you'll try another round, and another and another...
Heh, interesting take if I do say so. I doubt it has weight but it's a valid thought, I suppose. Myself, I cotton to a different theory-the lipouts replicate the real thing and it's alarmingly consistent.
I give you this as further reinforcement of what I say and I must preface this by saying it's coming from a complete layperson (IT type) point of view but one borne of watching the real thing and playing here.
Tiger Woods played in this past Farmers Open and I followed his first 3 rounds, thanks to PGA LIVE, and in his first round he burned edges on 4 putts on the front 9 of the first round. He shoulda been 7 under at the end of the day.
Other golfers were doing the same and I saw an unusual number of putts stop right on the edge. You know, the kind you hope for a gust of wind on. LOL At any rate, in the 3 days I watched I'll say easily, easily, I saw 20-30 of those types of putts. They were all doing it.
Fast forward to Monday following. Doesn't it figure-give ya 3 guesses and the first 2 don't count. Lip Central. LOL I saw more of my putts stop right on the edge than I have seen since I started. No exaggeration. IDK if WGT has the capability to alter global effects but I swear I believe they do and somebody watching the real thing is cluing whoever CAN do it and we see what we see.
Howzat fer some far out thinking? ;-)
