To Distance Complaints

  Have to agree with the complaints here.  225 max off the tee and 205 max off the fairway is just not realistic and makes a course like BPB unplayable.  I'd be more than willing to deal with less accuracy.

  OK,

  I'm a Teaching pro from the North East.  In essence to the distance of the logical 150 yds with an 8 iron,(which should be should be implemented), and myself off the tee in real life, I'm average 290 to 320 plus.  Could you please increase the norm to my profile?

  Seems to me if you select the average... problem is solved.

  First post here, and Im not one who would usually complain about an on-line video game, but I just hit a drive a perfect drive at BPB with a 15 MPH tail wind and it flew 213 and plugged in the bunker short of the fairway.  Ridiculous.  Then on 10, another perfect drive with a 13 MPH cross wind that flew 203 and landed in the deep rough short of the fairway.

  It's simply not fun playing that way.  Im not looking to shoot 62 because I know it's not realistic.  But neither is busting a drive and having only fly 200 yards. 

  BPB is just not fun, and isn't that the point of this game?

  yep. it would be nice to have a freaking driver in the bag that you can reach the freaking fairway with... oh, without spending real money on upgrading clubs.... jeez. just make the stock driver go 145 yards.... make your money from advertising, not selling fake club upgrades.

  This is without a doubt the most annoying golf game i have ever played (and I have played a lot over the years).   Not only are the distances ridiculous, but much more problematic is the fact that a perfectly struck sand wedge from 80 yards away uphill 10 feet  (max 85 yards) carries about 70 yards.  Even hackers can carry a sand wedge its full distance in the air.  I will definitely never play this game again and I am very sad that i spent $20 on club upgrades having been sucked into the US open challenge

  Agreed!!!  More camera angels, upgrades that actually make a difference, and a little more consistency in every area (putt, chip, drive, approach).  Dont get me wrong... the concept of this game ROCKS!!!  The game just needs a little more tweak.  I hope you do this for all the majors... with exception of the Masters... Im sure you wont get the permission to duplicate Augusta National for us common peeps.
