Because its not every single
round , to where the game becomes totally unplayable . Right now , I`m
having to deal with the scoring limitation . The game has me chasing my
tail in a tourney . No matter what I do , I cant get below -8 on an 18
hole tourney . Even though I can shoot 29 on both front and back 9 on
this course , now , its a job just to shoot 5 - 6 under par . Then there
are shots going long , or dropping short . Putts coming up short , and
also meter spikes , when trying to hit the ball .
We get over it by simply playing the game . Yes
it gets frustrating , when you know that you can play better than the
game allows . I understand how the other player feels . All that they
want is what many other players want , an honest game . They want what
they are able to play for , with out interference from the game . Golf
is a game of honesty and integrity , but thats not applied to this game .
So before you berate , or belittle another player , ask your self how
would you feel , if it was happening to you ? If you cant give them
advice to help them , then dont belittle , or disrespect them. My 2
cents . :-)
Berating???? Belittle ??? Disrespecting???
Bu!!sh!t !!!!! Advice! He got advice and still insisted he was right, it
was wgt not him or his tools! I just made a post 3 days ago about the
greens being slow, threatening to slow down my play because I was p!ssed
off, guess what, the next round I hit those putts HARDER, and all was
well...I also gripped about distances being off, I read a post, took the
advice and used less spin and considered the fact that the mapping
might be off on certain holes, not the clubs, so I went up or down 1
club on certain holes and FIXED IT! Wind too, b!tched about that, then
it occurred to me that maybe this game is more realistic than I think.
When I play real golf on a windy day, the wind blows, then stops, then
blows again, never blows constantly around here, and when I play the
British courses the wind usually pretty consistent with the number
given, but much stronger on holes next to the ocean, made some
adjustments and things seem better but the jury is still out...
I
can honestly say that now that I have all the best equipment my dinged
shots are always close to aiming point, and as soon as I hit it I know
if it is going to be a bad shot because I MESSED UP the shot, and close
when I hit them perfect!
I too have shot 26-27 on every
9 on every course except Merion fr9, and Oakmont fr 9, in fact I think
-3 was my best at Oak fr 9....but I do it in weeklys, with restarts,
like you probably do. I shot -10 on the front and back at STA, but I am
hard pressed to shoot 59 when I play a single play 18 hole round!
I
read 2 pages of a ridiculous rant by a guy blaming someone else because
his starter clubs go offline!!!! Well DUH, so did mine!!! I FIXED IT
after reading a post on equipment limitations!!!
Then I asked a
question that you couldn't even answer!!!! So I will try again, "If VEM
gets worse as you level up, or consistently play good, why is it that
dozens upon dozens of the best legends/Tour Legends shoot 25-28 on any
9, on any course, without restarting, every single day"????? Are they
exempt from VEM? Why is it most of the rant threads are high level
Masters/TM or legends with high averages who can't get better because
WGT is holding them down, stealing their balls to make more profit,
cheating them out of this, that , and the other because they are crooks,
so they refuse to spend any more money on this screwed up site, while
on the other hand all of chrisironbones rants are about only shooting a
27 or a 56 because VEM got him?
Forums are full of
solutions and advice, different ways to do it and thing not to do, if
you don't want to search for them or heed the advice given then STFU,
tired of hearing it! This game is hard to master! Remember this too,
without VEM(or cheating to you), every tournament could have 200 people
tied for 1st with 49's or 50's, and another 1,000 tied with
51's...that's when I leave for sure!
