World Golf Tour

Its free for now while its in beta.

I did my first nine (closest to the pin) and have been rated a hack :(

Gan

I'm playing closest to the pin. (registered and playing - c/p is the only game available for the moment)

Lowest score is now 308 (pro). Using the pro series clubs.

The swing takes some getting used to. I'm hooked.

The difference between pro and amateur clubs is swing speed.

Switching clubs up mid-stream will screw your next round, hard.

Going back to the pro-clubs.

Too bad they wont let you choose different makes of clubs. I want my Pings!

The arc it shows you when aiming, is that where the ball is supposed to bounce first on a perfect swing or is that where they project it will stop bouncing/rolling?

Gan
01-22-2008, 06:06 PM
haha. 145 using pro clubs

Gan

The arc is your trajectory, things such as green elevation and other factors (back spin, top spin) determine where it stops rolling.

Club type also determine your trajectory angle from strike.

7 on the team, looks like there's 1 more slot open.

All who have sent me addy's have been sent an invite.

How do I place spin on it. I'm more of a tiger woods golf guy.

Gan
01-22-2008, 11:09 PM
Golf ball icon with green dot on lower right. Move dot up for forward spin, move dot down for backspin.

Stance (feet) icons on left are for setting up fades and draws (refined intentional hooks/slices)

Gan
01-22-2008, 11:11 PM
1. Our team is currently ranked 33.
2. Maximum of 8 on a team, one open slot left.

What it means to be on a team. Last paragraph talks about the prize for best team.

"The team prize is a complete set of Taylor Made R7 Irons for each member of the team at the time the best score was recorded"

Just like real golf we've already got a thread full of excuses. :lol:

My game is so off this morning. I cant stay out of the traps or water.

I think in 30 minutes I actually finished 1 round that I didnt restart on.

:(


Kudos for SoulPieced in moving up to leader spot on the team!

With that effort we're ranked at 30. :)

Yep not my morning either. Had a decent round into the last hole and managed to knock it in the water. I blame the mouse as well....

I'm going to experiment with the laptop where I can engage the swing with an attached mouse and initiate the actual strike with the other hand as the power indicator moves across the range bar. For some reason I get happy fingered and either punch out too early or way late. [GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER!]

And I find its a must to take several practice swings in order to reorientate the timing of the swing since the range bar moves for each club.

WTF is with course hole 6 and me getting the water everytime.
Apart from that I would say I'm doing ok. Green everyshot, and 2 yds from hole on hole 9!

01-23-2008, 10:31 AM
I fucking hate hole 9. Seem to get better results on Exploder vs. Firefox. Firefox does some quirky things with Flash.

Anebriated
01-23-2008, 11:58 AM
for hole 9 just shoot for about the 115 foot mark. And depending on the wind a bit to the left. Add a little backspin and youve got a good shot. Thats how ive been doing it anyway and I generally hit that one within 15 ft.

Gan
01-23-2008, 01:07 PM
I absolutely hate both holes with the water on the right. More times than not I click late and slice that bitch into the water. Doesnt matter if I have a 9 mph wind from right to left, it still carries over the water.

I think I single handedly got our team kicked off the pro-circuit..

1156 :(

SWITCHING TO MY FIRST CLUBS!

There seems to be SO much luck in this damn game.. one hit I'm PERFECT.. and it bounces weird and into the water.. the next one I'm WAY off and it's 5' from the pin (Bronze award winner bitches)

I tried using the beginner's clubs and click too fast, I'm better suited for the pro clubs, not to mention I like the response I get when I actually hit it straight.

Gan

Its ok PB... they only take the top 6 scores - so you'res being 7th is weeded out!
