Well...that explains why I can't get online. I thought it was my damn XBox.

Yeah I was freaking out this morning cause I was getting some random error I've never seen before when I tested my connection. lol

even tho 360 guys have an extra day, are we starting the next tourney?

Alright, I have been reading the boards as much as I can to acclimate myself to the rules and such since this is the first TW game I have bought, and thus the first time I have done the online tourney with it.

My golfer sucks right now, but I think I am going to give it a go tonight if the tourney is still happening and I can pair with someone.

I have the crappy clubs still, so does that mean I can't mess with my sweet spot? Is it required that our sweet spots be turned town like a lot of the other people are doing here? Are you guys doing it because it makes it more sim and you want a challenge or we all have to do it?

Also, if it isn't required, why would some people do it and others not? It seems to me like it would give the people who keep their sweet spot higher an unfair advantage over the people that don't.

But also, for golfers like me, who got the game a bit later, and haven't really gotten their skill level up and are still driving 230 yards on average perhaps it levels the playing field a bit. I dunno, just wanted to get you guys' thoughts.

first off... its acclimate, not accumulate (lol, sorry I had to point that out).

I believe you can hit club tuner and toy with the sweetspot even with beginner sticks... you just have have more in depth abilities to customize the expert level clubs. don't worry about your golfers attributes not being very high, just keep doing tour events and challenges, and they will rise.

no, it is not required that the sweetspot is turned down. its just what some of us to to make the game a bit more challenging... plus, they are benefits to turning it down, and when you swing consistently, having a smaller sweet spot doesn't really matter.

at this point, all you can do is just keep playing and building your character. you will get better as you go along. I haven't played/owned a Tiger Woods game since 2005, so you will be fine.

Thanks, it's too early, and I'm an idiot. Anyways, OK cool. I will keep building up my guys stats, earn more money so I can buy he better clubs, then I will mess with the sweet spot. For now I am going to leave as is.

was wondering the same thing.

also wondering if the conditions are going to vary round-to-round, or if I should just go in ahead of time and memorize all the pins, etc.

lol....where is that dam CM?????? i wanna roll tonight! :horse:

i got a guy from my office (ps3) interested in playing in this.

he's probably going to try and squeeze in 2 rounds tonight for this one since it was extended by a day.


however I don't believe our proxy will allow him to access this site at the office so he may not post until tonight. lol
