I find the chipping isn't a lot different to real golf, at least for me. I don't hole anywhere near as many in real life but I generally don't have too much trouble getting it within 1-3 feet. The biggest difference is that I usually use the same wedge for all my chips where I have enough green to let it roll towards the hole, rather than different wedges depending on distance. Splashing on the other hand is much easier in this game 😅 The short chipping is laser accurate in this game and very forgiving for tempo even on master, playing out of rough is just a distance penalty. The longer chips takes a lot more skill and feels more like golf. The splash shot is a joke in this game, nothing like a splash shot out of rough irl. It is the percentage shot where in real life it is a shot that requires real skill from grass lies especially haevy rough.. If HB just had made that shot exclusively for bunkers you would see how much better and skillful partial pitching is. Cycling though clubs for distance with an open faced club shot is just ridiculous, you pick your club that produces the most bounce irl. The short scrambling game we have is just the same as the long game, cycle through clubs for distance, including chip shots with the awful backstop. Just take the crappy arcade splash and reserve it to bunkers and a bit of skill is required to get up and down as you have to play partial which requires feel and so much more skill. SIM is trying to play this game as realistically as possible surely.And that is why no grid putting is the best part of this game and requires the most skill because you not only have to read the break 99 percent of putts are partial shots and that represents the short game of golf realistically, FEEL for distance. Too much maths involved over execution with so much of this game and unfortunately when you lower the swing difficulty the shot shaper comes more into play and risk reward shot do not come into play. When proximity to the hole stat is under 10 foot there is a problem. No wonder we have crazy low scores, it becomes dart golf for the top players. |

I mostly agree with that. The splash or a flop is definitely a lot easier than a partial pitch in this game. Chipping is just odd. I'll generally use a 50° wedge for my chips in real life and just adjust how hard I hit it for distance, slope etc. There are some instances where I'll use a 58°, sometimes with an open face. Not this cycling up through the clubs depending on the distance nonsense.
I do find partial pitch more difficult than real life in terms of distance control, usually between 30-55 metres. Above or below that range I can usually knock it pretty close. But while I don't always knock it to a foot or two in real life from that range, I'm not smashing one way over the green on one hole then coming up 20m short on the next. I have a fairly good idea how much of a swing I need for various distances. It's more difficult to judge it in the game than it should be, which is why everyone reverts to the splash or flop.

Not a good week this week for me in TST started well with a 68 but then lost a few shots second round at the start then got a few back on the back 9. Third round wasn’t great but ok.

Same again this week. Just a bad last 9 holes, +6, the rest pretty good. Still no idea on the greens unless I roll past. Loving the challenge though 👍

Loving the challenge though 👍 No grids greens is the best part of this game for me, I love the putting. I think watching a few streams can help people who are new to sim golf especially putting, I will be streaming my rounds every week. I never play with grids and have been playing these games since TGC 1 so have a feel for no grid putting, about 8 years experience. I wish my long game was as solid as my putting Tbh. |

I’ve had two good rounds two bad rounds this week. Maybe building so many greens gives you an unfair advantage Les 🤔 😁 |

This is the thing the pitch gets very difficult when you hit the 40 to 50 yard mark but that's not splash yardage anyway but then it's a matter of clubbing up. The game is ridiculously easy with splash from 13 to 30 yards, it isn't a skill shot it's a cycle through clubs for distance FULL SHOT. That's not golf. The pitch is a very effective shot from 13 to 35 yards with a LW, just takes a bit of practice and feel for distance just like long putting. Splash shot ruins the difficulty of the short game and feels nothing like golf to me it's a pure arcade golf shot, more like.a dart golf short game. Most of us play golf here irl, to me immersion is everything couldn't give a sh%$ about my score if it feels cheap and splash is a totally forgiving cheap shot. Like you said everyone resorts to splash but because it is so piss easy to get up and down from everywhere under 30 yards. If it wasn't for the awful chipping in this game every shot under 58 yards would be a partial shot for me apart from sand, which is realistic as my full 60 degree LW pitch shot irl goes about 52 yards. |
