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. 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. Yeah I don't think a whole lot of the short game is like reality in this game. I don't know what the loft on my lob wedge is in this game, I'll have to check it next time I load it, but it carries 94 metres for a full shot, 63 for a full pitch. My real one is 58° and a full swing with it usually goes about 75-80 metres, so I can sort of gauge how hard to swing it from closer in than that, but I don't have a "full pitch" irl. It's just a percentage of the full swing. Trying to do that in the game is more difficult than a partial pitch. But then, irl I play those 15-25 metre shots with all different types of shot depending on the situation which also differs from the game where it's usually one or two options. I'll play low running chips, or mini flops, or standard pitches, it just depends. I like experimenting with my wedges and trying different things, it's fun. |

Loving the challenge on this tour. Just that 1 round again, but that's golf. Love the greens. No ridiculous breaks. Really enjoying this format 😀

Not showing off or anything, but had my first bogey free round in the third round in TrueSim. Enjoyed this more than a 15 under round in the CC events. Loving this Society.  |

Me and this weeks course didn’t see eye to eye this week. Spent more time playing out the rough because I couldn’t work out where I was aiming at.

What's your full name again? Ross Nixon You’re not in there - have you registered for TST on the main website? Because you’re not on there either… so we cannot get your scores. |
