Too each their own but the second I start using maths to play a video game is the time I stop playing the game. This game is supposed to be fun, I don't really understand why people use charts and maths to try get everything so precise.What do you think the real life pros are doing when they spend 10 minutes deciding between an 8 and a 9 iron?  |

Too each their own but the second I start using maths to play a video game is the time I stop playing the game. This game is supposed to be fun, I don't really understand why people use charts and maths to try get everything so precise. I've been playing this game for a month or so now and I'm steadily improving, and I'm sure I'll continue to improve without the need for maths. I started by getting two strikes on CC-E, now I'm leading the tournament after 2 rounds on CC-C. You become a better player by getting more and more practice, same as any other game. To each their own as I mentioned, but using maths to play a video game isn't for me. I agree but a player who practices will get better but never as good as one who uses the maths with regards to accuracy
You're probably right, although in all honesty I think I'd prefer to eventually make the Web Tour without using maths, rather than make the PGA Tour while using maths. If I practice more and more and, along with using maths, I'm able to birdie nearly every hole, the game will become too easy and quickly become boring.
I have no problem with those who wish to use maths, whatever floats peoples boats.

You already using maths Gary.
Every time you say to yourself, "150 to the pin, no wind, 2 or 3 yards release, i'll hit the 8 iron" - you're using maths. Unless you're closing your eyes and picking your club at random, you're using maths.

Unless you're closing your eyes and picking your club at random, you're using maths. Yeah you're right, I guess I should have elaborated further. Using basic maths and taking an extra few seconds to take my shot is fine, but I recently watched someone on Twitch and they were sitting doing nothing for 30 seconds while they worked out the maths out loud. Going to that extend, and looking at charts, etc to help decide what shot to take, is taking it a little far in my opinion. |

Agree with you, Gary. It kinda takes the sense of satisfaction out of the game if it's completely reduced to one extended equation. I guess everyone's got a different "cutoff point", at which point the game loses some of its "art", and becomes nothing more than a dry science. |
