I mean if they want FIR/GIR stats to correlate with the PGA, don't keep setting conditions that are making that extremely difficult for us to replicate those stats, firm/fast/high winds. As regards fade/draw, it was my understanding that these had to be performed by your tempo and not using the shot shaping icon. That is what I am saying, it is a bit all over the place at the moment. As I said in my post yesterday, I really haven't enjoyed the last few tournaments and all this confusion over what is okay and what isn't, doesn't help. I will step back for a while and see where things go. Everything is stated in the rules that Anders has posted up. True shot has never been forbidden. Loft box was in the last game because it was dial a distance but we have discussed many times that this games shot shaper is a big improvement and rightfully narrows tempo and swing plain boxes Regarding the pulling back to slow backswing for pitch, that is more because the pitch backswing is too fast. The game sets intent automatically so you will find different backswing speeds for different shots around the green including a painfully slow 60% splash when playing certain bunker shots. the game was designed to move a marker for intent and as we don't use a marker I see no problem. I rarely change it now as I go by backswing distance for partial pitch, but no problem with others doing to help their game. I never touch it for full shots though, personally I would of liked the game to be set to 80% backswing speed for no marker as it feels like a realistic backswing speed for pitch flop and splash. I don't use flop myself as I prefer the pitch shot. Anders has explained the course and conditions selection perfectly in his reply, Firethorn is design on Augusta and the greens are exceptionally fast and contoured, I think Robert softened up the greens this week. Paddy and Will hit some fantastic under par rounds which shows the course is fair but tough. Don't get down about your final round as you played really well in the first 3, Jeff had a bit of a mare in round 4 also, these things happen. We have had a really tough start to season 3 but there are some easier courses coming up and we will have some easier conditions also. I honestly never knew we could use True Shot, but then it wouldn't bother me because I never use it for fade/draw, I think it is much more realistic to play for it with tempo. I know Firethorn is a clone of Augusta and I really like the challenge, but that last round I really got frustrated, the number of 2/3 ft putts I had that turned a silly amount and you can't see the severity of it, especially with shadows all over the green. Another problem I have been fighting is the golf bag, just couldn't get comfortable with my club-set. I have now played on the PGA Tour and got a full set of Taylormade clubs courtesy of sponsorships, they have given the ideal mix of distance vs forgiveness. I will see how I go with these, I am not changing them now. If I have time I may give USE a go in the coming weeks, I really do like what you guys are striving for here, but just like the game in real life it can be so frustrating at times. There's a dose of reality for a start!! Thanks for all you are doing and please continue to do so. |

There's a dose of reality for a start!! Thanks for all you are doing and please continue to do so. Watched your game from late last season to now, your putting has improved immensely. You played some great golf in round 2, and your pitching was very impressive also. You don't need to take a break, I love the set up here it is realistic and if I can shoot under par at Augusta anyone here can. Best example this week is @pakalolo77 's first round blow up, what impressed me so much is the fight back from that blow up with 2 fantastic final 2 rounds. Also Paddy stuck in after a 2nd round 80 to finish 2 over, that's great stuff and what golf is about to me. Never give up and nonusehki you have every right to take a break and come back if it's not going well. much better to clear your head and come back than speed golf and ruin your week. |
