Everyone's level and expectations are different. If I shoot -42 and I'm not happy, I will say that. If people are going to quit as a result of that, well that's just pathetic in my opinion. If people think I'm "attention seeking" because I say I'm disappointed to have -42, well then so be it. I certainly don't go out of my way to seek attention from a computer golf game from people I have never met. It's just an honest appraisal of the well I felt I played. there's a massive difference between... "I scored -42 this week. Played crap for me and really disappointed in myself as know I can do better" And "I scored -42 this week. Can't believe it. Such an easy course and I go and hit -42. Not even going to get T25 with that crap" I cannot see any difference between the 2 apart from that 2 different personalities talk in different ways. Sounds to me like both are dissapointed and both obviously aim higher than 25th. That is not them saying anyone finishing 25th are rubbish like some people imply. Just they have the mindset that 2nd best is not good enough, as a way of pushing themselves.

"I just shot -38 first two rounds. Ball squirt and balls rolling over the cup almost every hole. Just hoping I make the cut"

I think people make things sound like they want. Paranoid is my view but yours is the opposite. Thats the thing on here, so many different personalities and different views. Who's right?

You know what's worse than someone complaining about their scores.. When the grammar police show up in threads.. Yawn.. I believe that even rhetorical questions are supposed to end with a question mark...

You know what's worse than someone complaining about their scores.. When the grammar police show up in threads.. Yawn.. The Grammar Police are always on my ass too. I rarely even post on this forum, and when I do, it is just a couple of comments here and there. Yet, when I do post a comment, they're all over me. They are just like the leeches on Humphrey Bogart's body in the movie "The African Queen". They're everywhere, clinging and sucking the life out of you. The Grammar Police should understand that I don't have the time to review the five sentence paragraph that I have written. Most the the crap I have posted has been written via my tablet while I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic. Now they want me to check for spelling errors? Give me a break! That won't be for long, though. I'm getting myself a moped. Then I can lane split when there is a traffic jam. Then let's see if those uppity Grammar Police guys will be judgmental on my ass! "See you in the fast lane, Mr. Grammar Policeman"

What is funny is that the winning scores across all the tours are pretty much the same. -40 to -50 depending on the course.

Anyone who is getting upset about someone pissing and moaning about their round or tounament, or is taking it personally in any way, you are being way too sensitive. The difference in saying "I played like sh!t" and "I played like sh!t for me" is so minimal and has nothing to do with the person's intent in what they're saying. One of the purposes of these forums is for people to talk about their rounds, among other things pertaining to the game and tours.

Frankly, I wish this forum was just one big dry erase boards, and that with one swipe of the eraser, wipe all this nasty negativity away. Never give up, and always remember that the glass is half-full. Just stay positive. Winners never quit, and Quitters never win! Carrie White never gave up
