I played sweeneys ghost for 2 rounds. top player,but he done me on the putts....I'd say he was closer to the pin 6/10...then i gave up lol top player....simple as. I'm guessing that this is an area that at has at some point being discussed on tgctours so I won't explain my views on ghosts being used in tourneys too much in depth First move I make when going into a tourney is turn off the ghosts.. Find them to be distracting, (and that's only the first shot as they appear instantly when u load into a round) and secondly I don't think it's fair that the initial people opening up tournaments most weekends have there ghosts used to the extent that it minimizes the shot difficulty and club selection process quite a bit for the person using these ghosts! Don't get me wrong I still appreciate the fact the low numbers being shot whilst using ghosts still takes skill etc and I also take the point some people enjoy playing with ghosts, not to try and imitate the shot seen but as its company if playing a round alone on the course!! However I still believe ghosts being used in tourneys is almost like someone driving an automatic car! Someone figures out the gears etc while another person has access to see this but STILL has to drive themselves into that position.. Not a given but minimizes the workload! As I say I'm sure this conversation has being already had but seeing as u brought it up I saw my opportunity to throw my view in the hat! Finally.. Wouldn't it be Great if only those in charge at tgctours who verify rounds only had access to viewing ghosts in tourneys! Mite be a tough one to implement in game from hb though, not sure. Alternatively maybe it'd be an idea to say on the ghost front in tourneys that everyone is allowed if they feel they want to, to play with 1 ghost! (similar to tst) Just thinking out loud on that 1! Enjoy your Sunday people!

Thanks Tony I'm just trying to make the cut every week, I'm just gonna concentrate on the Euro tour now. I just felt that I lost confidence after missing lots of putts on the TST tour so I decided to stop. What's your tour name by the way and I will look out for your scores. My Tour name is Tony McGettigan, have had my highest finish in a European Tour event this week! Top 5! I noticed your high finish Tony very well played, I would be up there if I could hole a putt. Burned so many holes last week and this week if they went in I would be a contender.

Alternatively maybe it'd be an idea to say on the ghost front in tourneys that everyone is allowed if they feel they want to, to play with 1 ghost! (similar to tst) Just thinking out loud on that 1! Enjoy your Sunday people! I agree with all that. I only ever used my rivals/friends ghost before just to make it feel a bit more realistic,and ofc that was if time allowed me cos it takes me alot longer to play as I have it turn based. My problem was that I could use a m8's ghost and just be content on beating the ghost to the detriment of my actual LB position.So found myself shooting worse cos of the pressure of trying to beat the ghost. However this week I had no such problems,as I was using Ian's ghost and no pressure as he is another level to me.Hence I feel I played a bit more naturally as I was happy knowing I was safe if I could keep within 4-5 shots. This week if time I will mix it up and try other chaps ghost,& see how I go. Lastly I have no probs at all with ghosting, as we all have to still execute the shots ourselfs.Just felt like I benefited from using Ian's ghost.I assume ghosting is maybe more beneficial if using on TST,but dont play that tour so cant really say. anyhoo...well played all.

I can be as inconsistent with putting as anyone, just had a good week for a change

Ive altered that saying now to if in the first 1,000 times u dont succeed!! Just play on in ignorance, i.e keep trying!!

Just finished this weeks tournament and I've actually lost count of the number of putts I've burnt the hole with, and Im sat about 26 shots back from the best Xbox player. I will be lucky if I make the cut this week. I just seemed to leave loads of putts the wrong side of the hole and left my least favourite breaking putt a right to left swinger.

I know I'm not good enough to win on this tour I would just like a reasonably high finish one week. Anything in top twenty five for me would be outstanding.

I'm actually pleased with my four rounds this week, it's the most consistent golf I've played from tee to green for a few weeks. I recon my first two rounds I won't be far off 100% for driving accuracy the first two rounds and my GIR should be very good as well.

He comes across as a people person, he likes nobody, he doesn't even like himself. I am sure your trying to get the name of the site changed to theiansweeneyfanclub.com. And even if you manage to pull that off i wont be joining it. I am not having the wool pulled over my eyes from the average golf your playing at the moment. That luck bar will run out eventually. Must of registered for the wrong tourney by accident so thanks for the mention. Lol. YOU C@#T. Seriously mate well played again. The standard you play at is abnormal. Some say your alien others say your a machine, in all honesty i have not a clue what you are but i know your disgustingly good at this game. Makes me sick lol. Well played all. A special mention to the "Yo Yo" man on his top 5.
