Yeah I've wasted many, many work hours on this. Very addictive, particularly the nearest the hole game. It's excellent, and free unless you fancy buying a new set of clubs to give you some extra distance!!

flanzer

Man that's good for an online game!

There goes any productivity today! Thanks

Mr. Larson

Yeah I've played a good bit of this - I'm at PRO level - 68. Can't progress any farther though without buying better equipment online. :cool:

Once you hit pro level you play off the back tees and can only hit 230 yard drives so can't get on most Par 4's in 2. It's very cleverly done - you need to invest in better equipment before progressing. I'll keep my money for investing in my real world golf game though!

I looked at the leaderboards for the Closest to the Hole Challenges. Most are between 40 and 60 feet for 9 holes.......that's an average of about 5 to 7 feet from the hole per hole........that's just impossible.

Oh.......goodie.......a new competition has just started.
On my second attempt I'm lying.......... 2nd
Wk 36 Closest to the hole.


I shot 180 and the leader is at 154. I think I missed one or two greens so 154 should be in range. However I'll fall way down the leaderboard as more people join but at least for one glorious moment I was 2nd.

There are some new games starting today so get in there and hit the top of the leaderboard.

CLADA

Shot 165 but that 6th hole out of the bunker is killing me all the time.

Like the old heartbeat sound effect you know then you are within 10ft.

BiffoGooner

Putting is ridiculously hard when you're new to it.:mad:

Yes it is hard but not the hardest. The first at Blackpage in the closest to the hole is a difficult one as are a lot of the St Andrews ones (the bunker shot there is very hard to even hold the green). Some of the holes are much more difficult (surprise surprise) in a strong wind.

Gallant_JJ

Great game, though ya wouldn't have much success with it playing on dial up

stockdam

Some of the views are stunning.

See what you mean :eek: I'll stick with wolf creek for the moment and master that 6th

I haven't got a clue about the game, it is a bit late tonight to start learning how to play. I will try it tomorrow evening. Thank you for interesting me in a game.

blackwaterfish

no problem!

must get together at the wknd and play a few rounds.... anybody up for a game on sat nite or sunday nite?

cant play in work... far too busy - but im not complaining!

NITFBY

whata great looking online game. can see many hours spent on this

String

my username is irishlegend in it if anyone wnats a game. im terriblly bad at putting!

josey_whale

Tis a great game. Clever on the game's creator part though. The thing is to compete you need to buy virtual clubs otherwise you will always be struggling for distance. Bethpage for instance - almost all of the 400+yd holes are out of range in two, without upgrading! I refuse to upgrade!

Great game all the same

NaiveMelodies

Anyone up for 9 holes now in bethpage?

UrbanSea

Sorry to drag up an old thread but I'm addicted to this. Is there anyone on now that fancies a game?

LostPassword

This is the only computer game that I play. It currently has stroke play available at Congressional - home to the upcoming US Open, with stunningly accurate and complete detail of the holes. To me this, rather than the gameplay itself, is the real attraction. Come the US Open I will have a very detailed understanding of the course and will be able to appreciate the shot-making so much better. It is also easily the best flash-based online game that I've ever come across in terms of graphical and game-playing richness. It manages to give you a good sense of just how difficult any given course is.

UrbanSea

It's unreal. Have you bought credits?

Tones69

Great game!

I put $50 in a few years ago when I had more spare time and bought one of the posh sets of clubs. I still can't reach many of the longer par 4s off the championship tees without paying extra for balls - which I don't really do as I flitter away enough money on real golf. I can't really win any of the stokeplay tournaments on the longer courses.

Ruu_Old

Never play much computer games, this one is good fun. My putting is atrocious!

I might get the mother to go through that when she's booking her hotels,hotels.com give you a load of credits when you book through them. The putting is awful hard.

God this game is addictive, been playing it for the last hour and a half

Had a knee operation a few months back and was bed and couch ridden for a week. Played WGT for 2 days straight and managed to give myself a carpal tunnel injury. Couldn't move my wrist or fingers for around 5-6 days(I really wish I was joking) Bought me a wireless mouse now though so its all good!

Tin_Cup

Just started playing recently really like it. Only really get to play now and again but really struggling with putting! Love how realistic the courses are.

OMFG I hate you all. I'll never do any work again :pac:
