Oh I know it's possible with a controller...but with a mouse you can draw it back and leave it there and go grill a burger and grab a beer. That's a game flaw in my opinion Please tell me this wasn't just a random example and you've actually done that before. |

You can do that with a controller but i wouldn't recommend it with whatever you use. Its really a lot easier to get the speed using tempo rather than stopping somewhere but to each their own. My method just hit every putt 3 ft past the hole and get used to how it reacts on the green. unless is some ridiculous elevation i may add/subtract a few feet but other than that always go for 3 feet past. ( 10 ft 2" up put at 15ft. 10 ft 3" down put at 10 ft.) Also pay attention to what is happening after the hole if its going downhill take some speed off and play slightly more break. So that 10ft 3" down putt i may go to 7 or 8 ft if it looks like the putt will keep going. Oh I know it's possible with a controller... but with a mouse you can draw it back and leave it there and go grill a burger and grab a beer. That's a game flaw in my opinion Actually, that's not accurate -- one must hold the mouse button down through the backswing (or pull-back with putter) and through the start of the downswing. What you stated wouldn't work unless you taped the left mouse button down! |

If you guys don't want people hitting lifted 3 irons stop putting pins 3 boxes from the front of the greens. Also a fully lifted 3i is similar to a hard hit pitching wedge in real life less control and a softer landing or more "spin". Not a matter of "want" Steve. Wags asked me to explain what spirit of the game meant from my point of view, so I explained myself a little more. There are plenty of players who max loft their shots whether the pin is 3 boxes or 10 boxes from the front. One of the funniest things I've seen going on is lofting up a 9 iron chip shot from just off the green. I laugh a little every time i see it.  |

@wagtunes... I was unaware a person had to be in "good" or "great" physical shape to play a round of golf? I smoke a @!$# ton of weed usually daily and am probably 30 pounds overweight. I play. Really well. Even when I walk and carry my bag. I taught myself to play and have been playing for 17 years now. I also am a pretty good judge of wind in real golf. A sh%$ ton of rounds and hours of range time is almost the same as "charts". My set is custom fit. I know my carry for every club. All this talk about cheating, max lofting, creepy flopping, shadow putting, chart abusing, wind watching, ghost squading, and the like is piss poor. People will play how they want. I choose to rage while playing this. I cuss a bunch and drink and smoke so not much streaming from me lately. Also, my 3i maxed goes 147. Then again, my charts were made while lit. I also tried to say thank you and point people to YOUR thread from when YOU left CC or Web. I actually use your putting technique you described there. Not this Stoomer sh%$. Not sure how this thread turned into a @!$# fest, but Christ. We're all here to help one another. Try it. I stand by SloanerTW on the front pin sh%$. Sorry. I'm also a fan of nevadaballin and his way of playing. You say that this game has NOTHING to do with real golf when it actually does. People play how they want just like real life. Period. There is no "one" way. |

Who's responsible for putting a quarter in the Wagytunes-go-round? Shame on you.

And certainly walking a golf course is at least a little more physically exerting than sitting in a chair and pulling on a joy stick. But okay, don't want to argue the point anymore. I commend Nevada for playing the way he does if he feels it's more in the spirit. Like he said, everybody has their own way to play. But I can't sit here with a straight face and say that TGC is like real golf. Because I've shot under 60 here and I'd never break 90 in real golf. And I'll just leave it at that. |

I've shot a 62 twice. Does that count?
Same course. 2 weeks apart. Good for 9-under a run. 😏😏😏😊😊

There is going to come a day when Generic_Casual and I are going to get together, spark one up, and I'm going to hand him a 3 iron and say, "Ok bro, loft this to 147"... and he'll say "How about if you just make a putt for once in your life ya scrub."... |

I get it. You put yourself in this "virtual world" and make believe that it's a real world and thus limit the way you use the clubs to the way you would use them in a physical world. I understand. And if that's how you want to play, I commend you for it. My problem is with the implications (more from Jim than from you) that people who just go all out virtual (as in nowhere near close to real) are cheaters or not playing in the "spirit of the game". I'm sorry but yes, I do take offense to this. I suck so badly at this game that if I limited myself to putting on the fringe, never lofting beyond a box, and not doing all the other things that you can't do in real golf, I might as well not play at all because I'd be so bad at this game that I'd be in CC-Z right now. I just saw the scores for this week finalized. My WGR, amazingly, went from 351 to 350. I don't know how the hell that's even possible when I finished 2 from the bottom this week. When the next week's two round scores are posted (I shot 13 under for 2 rounds) that will then make 7 straight weeks where I missed the cut. That translates to the only made cut was the week I actually got my PGA card. The game is already close to no fun for me since making it to the PGA, and that's with doing everything I can to score as well as I can. Can you imagine what my game would be like if I played it like yourself. I might as well just ask for a refund for TGC 2 because there'd be no point in continuing. There's actually no point even using all the cheats because, as you can see, everybody up here is burying me week after week. Don't get me wrong. I would love a more realistic golf game. But i just don't see it happening. TGC 2 will be an improvement (at least I hope so) but I doubt it's suddenly going to make me a better golfer versus the rest of the field. |

I employed your method for this week on the web tour @wagtunes, it worked extremely well in my first round.. we wont talk about round 2.. but anyway there is 1 type of putt i find your method isn't working well for and thats what i call a "downhill slider" where the putt is downhill but also severely sloped, it seems like adjusting the amount of clicks and then adding 20% isn't even close to enough break, how do you handle these putts?

I don't. But at least with this method I don't end up in left field. I've gotten to a point where I might miss a 37 foot putt with a 1 foot downhill hard left to right slope by maybe 5 feet. And don't forget, on a lot of these putts, the break isn't consistent all the way down. Again, I have now missed 6 straight cuts in the PGA and after next week it will be 7 straight cuts. So I'm probably the last person you want to take putting advice from. All I can say is, my putting has improved from what it was to what it is now since using this method, otherwise I would have never made it to the PGA in the first place. YMMV. |
