I owe this apology to everyone at TGCTours, the staff, the members, everyone. I firstly would like to talk about my experience on the tours. It has been mostly a wonderful journey through the 2 and bit a year’s i have been playing this game and i have talked to many wonderful people on the forums and in game. I couldn’t ask for anymore in that department, you guys rock! I have slowly managed to rise up in ability from when i first started playing where 90s were a regular thing and to think that i have come all this way is fantastic but what comes with that is expectations and those have changed considerably since the improvement and because of my temper, when i don’t meet those i lose it, simple as that. I don’t like any sort of bad play, whether it is a missed putt, missed landing spot, you name it. They all get on my nerves. It is all down to my real life issues. I have a short fuse and i realise that but i have had help in the past and nothing really changed. I also get very jealous of the guys above me who win. I try to hide it but now it’s gotten out of hand. I envy those at the top and really can’t stand it when they beat me. I simple cannot change which is very frustrating as i would love to get on with the community. I feel like i have let everyone down and that quite a few people dislike me because of this behaviour and i don’t blame you. I try to drag down anything and everything that is in my way and try to stop but it just comes back. I would like to say sorry to anyone that stream’s as i normally come in and start talking negatively. DoubtfulObelisk is one of my TGC idols but everytime i go into his stream i always end up talking crap and i really do feel like i can’t stop. Most of the time i sit here and stare at the screen doing nothing. I have been known to do it for hours simply because i am bored and feel lonely and because of this i think the outbursts are a response to this. I would also like to say sorry to all the Staff at TGCTours. You do great things and i couldn’t be more happy for your success and i wish you continue that as it is only what you deserve. It truly is an amazing thing you guys are doing! @tim Doyley SmilingGoats Crazycanuck1985 bentfivewood fuzion Dubsonic Matt10 theclv24 I thank you guys for all the hard work and i am sorry if i missed anyone out! I have no idea what i am going to do regarding my particaption in tournaments but recently i have been forcing myself to play and feel like i need to play just so i don’t let anyone down. It hasn’t been enjoyable the last few weeks despite good results and i really don’t know what to do and with the Ryder Cup coming up soon, it’s all swirling around in my head. Again, i am truly sorry for the all the negativety and from here on out i won’t be particapting in the forums as everyone could do without me moaning and talking crap all the time. I wish you all good luck in your future! I hope you accept this apology.

No need to apologize to me, man. I appreciate the gesture, though. I just hope you turn your mentality around somehow. No one should feel that much emotion over a video game, in my view. I still believe you should seek help from someone qualified, as the most important thing is for you to improve your mental health. All the best.

Look dude I think you need to start drinking heavily. A few corona and the odd whisky before you even take a club out your bag. Chaoz it's just a game !!! I think you post a lot of good stuff at times and you would be missed as that moaning but hey dude that's just you.
Go buy beer and enjoy

Oh good, we haven't had an apology statement for a few days. Thanks for coming through Daniel! <--- That is called sarcasm subbuteo, you are about to get banned. You probably don't care but just letting you know.

Hey, we all make mistakes, and IMO as long as you apologize, all is good. We all know that you can be a great guy, and if you decide to leave, know that we'll still be here when you come back. Thanks for the apology though, and I hope to see you around!

No need to apologize to me. I've come to know that, that's just Dan. You have some emotional issues that you need to try and work on. I don't know if it's only in the video game world or something you struggle with on a daily basis with all aspects of your life. I wish you the best and hope it can be controlled. If it's just that you want to win so badly...well, it will happen Dan. You're one of the best players here..AND you now you are. I have never won a tourney, but I can tell you I know I'm good at this game and maybe one day I'll win. But I don't play for that reason. I play because it's fun and I do enjoy the challenge. But, most of all I enjoy chatting with everyone, tuning into streams and watching TGClive...it's a great community IMO. That's what brings me back everyday! Maybe, focus on having some really good friends here instead of the winning thing...The majority of the folks here will never win or make into the top 50 WGR...so what. Just gotta laugh it off buddy and enjoy the company Hope to see your name on the leader boards! Good luck to you in the FED-EX playoffs...but I'll be playing too...better watch it...I'm coming for you top dogs

There is a great slogan for gambling ( I know weird analogy) but it says when the fun stops STOP You need to take a break from the game. The game was starting to annoy me and putting me in a bad mood when I played as I had no time with work etc and I lost all enjoyment, so I just stopped and I am so much happier (to escape fast and firm lottery golf ;-)) You need to seek professional advice Dan coz it really sounds like the game is making your situation worse. Take a week off at least from playing but have a laugh on the forums instead maybe. One week won't hurt I'm sure many would agree

Take a drink and relax...count to 10 and play this beautifull game😎 Its good nobody can hear me screaming sometimes when I miss a birdie again...😂

I don't like how a couple of people have suggested that Daniel take a drink or have a smoke to relax. While that may work for some, it may also be the onset of alcoholism or drug addiction for someone else.
We already have one member on these forums talk openly about his own alcoholism.
Daniel, you owe it to no one to force yourself to play rounds. You aren't letting down anyone on TGCT staff, or in the community by either not playing in an event or choosing to play in some other event.
I wish all the best for you.

You need some help dan. I don't think people hate you or dis like you. Personally I just feel sorry for you that you have allowed a video game to cause you so much stress and anger. I can't understand why you would do something by choice, that makes you feel unhappy. Give up the game if it's going to cause you to feel this way and go find something that makes you happy.

Don't appologize just get right before you come back. The repeated announced retirements/breaks and then coming back 2 days later is getting ridiculous. No hate here Daniel, I really do hope you the best, you seem like a guy with good intentions, just can't control your emotions. You have to stay away from this game (at least competitively) if it causes you this kind of rage and anxiety. If you're board try the designer maybe. I know I find it relaxing. Cheers Daniel I do wish you the best, get right, get proper perspective and hope to see you back down the road in a proper frame of mind

I don't know you at all but feel like I do because you lay yourself so bare on here. You clearly need to make a change in your life, whether that's with help or on your own is up to you, but anything that will make you feel better about yourself will only be good. As for this game, that's all it is, a game! You have to see that you're sense of perspective is way out on this one. Why would anyone spend their free time (can't speak for you, but mine is pretty limited) doing something that makes them miserable? That takes a special kind of masochism! Do what you keep saying you're going to do and take a break. A week, two weeks, a month, longer, anything - take a break, maybe play something else or get out the house and get some exercise, recharge the batteries and come back when you actually want to play. Bottom line is there is absolutely no point in willingly doing something that makes you unhappy. You'll be back, you're clearly one of the top players in this game, any WGR points you lose you can win back, in fact that might be a fun challenge. Just take a break for your own (and our ) sanity.
