If you go to a member's profile page and click on the little gear on the right side, you can block that user and in the process hide all of their forum posts so you can't see them anymore. This is a step I've taken, and it has made most of the forum much more pleasant to read.

The last two PGA courses I tested, WITH the rigged controller, I shot 10 over and 8 over. Bad enough? That brings up an interesting question then. How in the heck can you be a Ranger when you are using a modified controller?? It's beyond me how you guys are nothing wrong with cheating. That's what it is plain and simple. I guess alot of you can't handle shooting realistic scores. I could see if I played 5-10 rounds a day. I play 2 sometimes 3 rounds daily and I have an occasional miss. You are using a modified controller and rangering as well. Wow, that's not right. Guess you guys don't find it rewarding to actually do it all yourself. Gotta have those controllers. Speaks volumes!!! Oh stop it. If a person is NOT playing competitively they can use whatever they want. In beta testing and rangering, I have used settings to guarantee a straight shot in order to test various situations. For example if you are looking at hole #8 on a particular course to see if you can hit the green in two into a heavy head wind, I don't want to accidentally pull a shot and have to restart the round to get back to hole #8. So change the setting to hit dead straight and I can better determine if a person hitting two good shots can make the green in 2. There are numerous of other circumstances like testing in beta to see if wind affected pitches/chips/flops. By having a dead straight swing you can better determine what effect wind has these types of shots. Bottom line if you are in a practice round, testing, rangering or doing whatever non-competitively, it shouldn't matter what controller you use or how straight your swing is as it only effects YOU and your game. No one else is effected. If Wags wants to use a mouse, a straight controller, an Atari joystick or hook up a Guitar Hero set up while he rangers, more power to him. Getting on his case for what he does in a non-competitive round is just looking for needless drama. |

I'm just saying if your using it in your competitive rounds as well that's crap. That was the point I'm trying to make. It's all fine and well if he uses it for rangering only, but doesn't sound like this is the case. It wasn't all directed at Wags either. If it's not being used competitevly that's great. Alot of guys are though Brighttail and it's not cool. I'm not about drama to old for that crap. So chill buddy. No disrespect to you or Wags. Not trying to upset any1 just how I feel about it. I have always and will always support TGC and it's growth. I appreciate the work put in by all Rangers and admn. I have been a little upset about the controllers since TGC2 came out, but not attacking any1. Apologize to any1 offended, but can't stand cheaters. I'll be a little more clear from now on. I understand for rangering, just can't understand it in comp. |

How about reading my damn post where I said I DQ'd myself from the tour. I'm done playing. I'm ONLY hanging around this nut house to help the schedulers get courses out as fast as possible. That's it. I have ZERO desire to EVER play this game competitively again. |

Just entered myself in the WinCo Foods Portland Open. Feels great to get back into a new season. When we start back up everyone gets auto registered each week, there will no longer be registrations. At least that was one of the first points by Doyley on page 1, unless there was an update over the last 49 pages. I'm guessing being able to register for next weeks upcoming event on the main page is just a left over feature from TGC1 until we go live with the TGC2 version. So, if we're being auto registered what happens if I can't or just plain don't want to play a given week. Will I get a automatic strike for not playing? There will be weeks I won't have time to play four rounds. Others where I won't want to bother with a ridiculous course. And others where I will be out of town on vacation or business and won't even have access to play. |

You can withdraw from events you are auto-registered in on the site, I believe. And if so there will or should be a window where you can do that.

If that is the case you don't need to unregister. The whole point is the people who started playing, played poorly and decided not to post their scores, thus there was no penalty for withdrawing. Now there will be. So if you can't play, don't. Don't play a shot.  |

timeracer - as I understand the new rules, you will not be penalized if you never tee it up for the event... it is not the same as registering for an event in TGC1 and quitting or withdrawing outside of the rules. So in the examples you gave, I don't believe there would be any strike or penalty of any kind as long as you never hit the first shot.

Wow you guys are making it personal. Grow up. I tried to read through all the post Wags, but speed read through most of it as post kept coming in. I will apologize to you as I meant nothing personal man. I should've been more clear about the topic. I totally understand using it for Rangering and all. I was just pointing out the ones that dont, and somehow ppl wanna turn it into a big deal. Chill every1. Shame to see you go as well. I wish you could find pleasure in playing again Wags. |
