      I played with Bubs last night. Not 1 issue in my mind. I dont think anyone is accusing you. Keep up the good play. No doubt that the sim world will allow for better scores than real golf. Let's keep it fun.

      Anyone able to play Fri or Sat?

        This is nuts.... All the whinning becasue someone is playing well. 10 birdies in one game is no worse then -10 for 2 rounds. But on one hand you have congrats all around and the other you chastize . This is stupid. And I am not pointing a finger at anyone for the previous comments. Hell if I could have made half the putts that lipped on several ocasions I would have been dang close to -10 I don't understand all the aqusations going on here. After you get the feel for the chipping and putting its like Mike says it no more than a video game. You still have to stroke it right but once you get the hang of it it not that tough. On this I can judge the distance on a put so easy I dont always stroke it correctly but I know as son as the ball leaves my putter if it is short or long. My rule of thumb is add 1 foot to the putt for every 2 inches uphill and take away 3 for every 2 inches downhill. if your 1 foot up you add 11 foot to the stroke. Easy as pie. You really think I am the on

          Ok, here's the thing. Alot of you say that scores on a SIM aren't like scores in person. No one EVER said they should be. This is not the issue. The issue is that some people are pushing it too far. If I need to explain this, there's something wrong.

          Now does this mean anyone is cheating? No. It means your expectations for the game and your setup are different from mine, and from other players. And that's fine. Tom, we can talk about baby draws or fades or 30 yard hooks and backspin all day but this is not the root of the problem. The problem is very simple. Some people like this sort of play and others don't. Some people don't think it can be more realistic and some people do. Some guys build their sim based on false visuals of their own game and after a while you get this. It is very probable that not a single person in this league can actually carry the ball 280 with ANY kind of regularity. Yet some guys do. And this can be fixed easily. As soon as one guy modifi

            I think you guys are being a bit too excited while stating your case. TheLono doesnt want to play anymore and he explained why. You either agree with him or you don't. You either want to keep playing or you don't.
            If''' and thats an ""if"" ... not accusing anyone of anything.....someone has tweaked the settings to give em an easier path to low scores -its only going to make their game worse when they play for real.. it has no effect on anyone else.
            Sorry if im going to offend anyone here but it's sounding like a bunch of yentas going through menopause around here some times. It's not that big of a deal.

              I am not sure what they put in the water up there in Canada. But here where I live it takes talent to draw the ball 10 yards every ball you hit. But I see it most shots online. Now if you know its going to draw 10 yards how can you miss? Whats the difference if the ball goes straight or if it draws or fades every ball? Either way you look at it something is not right. Alot of people go with the settings provided to them and run with that. Hence you see alot of the same balls from a lot of people. And don't get me wrong here I am not hammering anyone for providing the settings. It is a very good place to start. My point is that it is easy for a quality golfer to shoot low. Now can I do it consistently, just look at my scores it is obvious I can't. Hell I cant even get my name on the Under Par list. And I am not defending anyone here. Its a simple fact he is a better golfer than we are. And he has a good setup. Thus no distractions just play good golf. Thats it in a nut shell. Can anyon
