What it says in the title, golf, on your browser, Adobe Flash, nice HD photos of the courses and a place to pretend you are good at the most frustrating game in the world, at least until the online version drives you crazy.

Top tips for beginners:
- Get a member to send you an invite to join rather than joining off your own back. You'll both get a free gift!
- Buy the Starter Plus Club Set for 99 credits as soon as you reach the correct level to unlock this. Vast improvement over the standard clubs.
- Only enter ReadyToGo tourneys for your own level. Every entrant is on a level playing field you will place better than open events. The winner normally gets 31-32 for 9 or 62-63 for 18 at best and a -2 will double your credits quite often.
- Read the WGT forum for putting and chipping tips! Get good at these and you'll score far better.
- Pitching is far easier than chipping and far less frustrating.

Anyone up for a round this evening?

Just played my nine, I'm slowly getting into it......still 7 over for 9, but I'm play with a Featherie and a cricket bat.

99CR for the Starter Plus Club set makes all the difference.

Had a good nine at St Andrews Old Course, only +2 and no more than 2 putts a hole. Getting there

I find its almost as frustrating as the real game and not conducive to a calm half hour.

Hey TL, you had a busy day with the clubs yesterday didn't you! Nice scoring! 9 rounds in one day.

Any suggestions how I deal with this? Only choice is putting as chips don't work on green

Rofl - accept a 2 putt as the correct way of doing it! I'd probably pitch it from there or if you have to put then go WAY right and then aim it to cross over the fringe above the bunker again on the way to the hole.

Sparko · February 24, 2011, 11:09:51 PM

pick your ball up and run away.....

Every time I've tried a flop from on the green it duffs. I had to putt up the hill to the right and 2 putt from 24ft to get my bogie.

I'm affraid I have been re-positioned under the thumb of the wife today

. Since I'm working all day she's off with me about playing wgt, (only a matter of time) and I have to take her out for an Italian later. So probably can't make the 7.45 game. What about tomorrow?
