Week One: Buick Invitational | Torrey Pines | June 14-16

I am definitely changing my sweetspot % for this one.

[Justo]

how do you determine all of that stuff dave?

[Justo]

i haven't done that yet lol....

You need an "advanced" driver to make your sweet spot % 15-20.

With this percentage, drives will become a real challenge ... and you won't set course records for fairways hit.

[Justo]

my sweet spot is like 53% with default driver

[dave]

Yup. That's what it is default.
If you want a real challenge, you will get an advanced driver and lower it.

There isn't much that you can do in Tiger to cheat but one of those would be chipping on the greens, which isn't allowed. This really shouldn't be a problem just though I would mention it.

huh? this is 100% legal

[for surtain 22]

How many times have you seen people chip on greens in real golf? Never.

Its way too easy to just use a lob wedge from like 70 feet away, we aren't allowing it.

certainly your regular golf club wouldn't want you chipping on their greens. i've seen lehman and mickelson do it before...

i don't really care, if you want to outlaw it that's fine... but it is legal

[Maynard]

i dont chip on the green.....actually i rarely ever chip at all anywhere

but on the green, if im 70 some yards away i do pitch or flop if i can......is this against the rules for us too?

[Proof21]

With how my game is at times it might be better for me to putt from the tee. I might get a bit closer.

[Vinsane]

*wipes tear from eye*

I'm so proud.

[OnlyOneBeerLeft]

for further reference, I hit MS Paint and drew a little picture (yes I know, strong Paint skills... sike)



from the Red X's, you could not chip. from the white ones, it would be okay to chip because there is NO WAY a putt could roll to the pin without going into the rough, fringe, or bunker.

NOTE: the arrows are the direction of the break. if the putt were breaking hard from left to right, the left white X would then be red (no chip), because you could ride the break around the rough, and get the ball to the hole without it being impeded by any longer grass.

simple enough, right?

god i missed you lately haha no homo

[Maynard]

lol @ the picture......good stuff.

again i have to ask....are we counting flops and pitches in with the chipping rule?

[killgod]

I'd say so. Flops are easy peasy to land unless there's hella wind.

[St. Francisco]

Well if you are playing in groups you can normally see if someone chips from the green, if not fine. This league has a few things that require self-policing, some people are cheaters, they will find a way to cheat no matter what, but the rest of us will follow the rules on our honor.

Also since I think that XBL is still down the deadline for this tournament has been extended to tomorrow at 11pm EST for all players.

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