With a club pro from Youngstown, OH who qualified on a putt that barley went in. They are actually calling this dude "Tin Cup"...he has an Ice Cream company logo on his chest and "Annie Ann's" pretzels on his sleeze.

I shot 77 on wgt(I'm a fairly regular player on the site, especially with the amount of rain we've had in the last few weeks). The course is ridiculously long.


Shot a 79. My rating is 71, but I play with the starters clubs. Don't wanna get used to the speed of the meter of those upgraded equipment.

Does anybody actually pay for the Upgraded clubs? I think I did a survey or something and I have the starter + stuff but thats it

yeah people do, that's the only way those guys shoot 54. I've been winning challenges and I have over 1,500 credits but all I have purchased is the putter pal I rented a driver once an the speed was just ridiculous, too fast for me and I was always in the rough so I had to give that up.

You can do head to head challenges against other players, winner takes whatever you decide to bet (100 credits minimum).

I've spent way to much money on that damn game but I've also placed in a lot of ready go tournaments and what not. I think I've earned like 21 dollars worth of credits

I only play the game when I'm bored at work so I'm not about to spend money on it. It sucks sometimes though because I have no spin or distance, I'm playing the virtual US open but my guy only hits 235 off te tee so it's hard to score at all from the tourney tees. Also if the hole is over a sand trap and I can't roll it up to it I just have to aim for the center of the green and not the flag bc I have like no spin

I played the virtual US Open today, and I think I played bogey golf. I was hitting fairways and greens but putting killed me. It was a pretty difficult round. I'd be happy if I shot in the 70's.

247 yard hole may be used only once. 225 yards will be yardage of #3.

670 yard par 5 will be used twice while 625 will be used twice. Course will be playing about 7050-7100 but in San Francisco it will be like 7200.

On the Golf Channel website, Frank Nobilo does a video tour of each hole. Looks to be hard as hell for the pros, I know I couldn't break 100 with my lack of length off the tee.
