After 4 years of playing I have came to this conclusion. To win a Big Prize Tourney here at Wgt. Your going to have to beat Bullox and Dan. Now don't get me wrong they don't win them all. But there always in it, and to win you have go through them.
Now this is my tip for you to go about doing that. All big prize tourneys are played Unlimited Round 1 and Single Play Round 2. Starting day 1 of the month you have to stay dedicated to the tourney. Take notes on every hole to get those approach shots down pat so that when you go back and shoot it over and over in Round 1. You will have notes to fall back on to help with winds and stick it close on approach shots.
I know for fact Bullox and Dan use to take notes every hole. Now a days there so good they have those shots memorized in there heads.
So then Round 2 starts. Now WGT always flirts with the winds and green speeds to make a more challenging Round 2. But you still have your notes to fall back on, and since you have been playing the tourney over and over like Bullox said . (he wasted over 100 nikes playing the Elks) Your memory on some of those approach shots will help a lot.
The overall Tip is to take a lot of notes. You have a whole month to get those approach shots down pat. And in there lies the secret to them shooting so low. heres my example.
Pinehurst Front 9 Virtual Qualifier
Hole1-Par4- After the tee shot I was 99 yards away. wind was 9mph < said it was playing 5ft uphill. I used my 100 wedge. 3/4 backspin on the ball and full power. was a good shot left me 3.5 ft away.
Hole 2- Par4- After tee shot I was left with 136 yards away. Wind 12 ^ . The elevation said 4ft downhill. I used my 125 PW and barely any back spin just a hair. and then I hit it full power . was dandy shot 1.3 ft away.
In there lies the key to shooting low. Due to the fact that some of the holes lie and say 4ft downhill but play like its uphill 4ft. Your notes there will become key Because once you figure out what WGT wants you to hit to stick your approach close that info is very valuable. When others don't know what club to hit and what spin to use but you do it is a huge advantage. Again some of those holes lie and play uphill but say downhill.
And not just in Tourneys. A great set of notes is something all the top players use. To beat them maybe they will let you take a peek ...LOL
P.S. Back in the day I use to use my notes to dominant Ladder 9 on WGTLS. But threw them away after a much needed break from WGT. They took me months to write. I wish I had them now. Im just not willing to put in the work and labor of getting them all back . It takes forever to get accurate ones. Because remember you only wanna write down when you hit the shot real close all the bad shots aren't worth writing down.
