Dazo Posted July 26, 2010 I'm beginning to like this now I realise that there are worse players than myself Moz, I know what you mean about taking over your life mate, I'm trying to play it when Linda's out to save grief Just do what I do John and tell her she looks tired and she should a early night. Just played and hit a 79 although I missed some amount of putts. Also call me paranoid but has anyone else noticed when you land one right at the pin it roles on for miles but land it on the green miles away from the hole and it stops dead ? The guy that is winning must have spend about ?30 on his clubs, not really in the spirit of things. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well that was a waste, the guy from the US couldnt put his ball on the 2nd hole so took out his driver on the green, smacked the ball away and quit.

ArmiyaRomanova Posted July 27, 2010 Announcing, as the St Andrews Tournament draws to a close tomorrow, a new Challenge Kickback Whackabout.... A closest-to-the-hole challenge on Bali Hai (thought we could all do with seeing the sun, even if only on a computer screen). Unlimited attempts over 48 hours to get the lowest score you can.... But be careful, winds are heavy and the greens very fast. Could be a nightmare in paradise. Good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Brow Posted July 27, 2010 I am down as Bred85 as The Brow was already taken. Some folk want to be me.... Gonna spend tonight having a swedge. MIght even watch the videos on how to play, although thats borderline cheating! Its bloody addictive though. Great game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

graygo Posted July 27, 2010 Didn't seem that hard to me.. I've taken the early lead! Only missed 2 greens, WTF!!! 2 holes where even nailing the damn thing doesn't get me within 100 yds of the green.

Bigsmak Posted July 27, 2010 WTF!!! 2 holes where even nailing the damn thing doesn't get me within 100 yds of the green. Might have to have a sneaky peak at the tutorials. I might have a little advantage as I play a lot of golf and understand the wind and hight above / below the ball measurements. i also tend never to use the club that it starts out on. advice or plying 18 holes... don't use your driver that often... think about where you want to play your next from..eg its easier to hit a full 130yrd shot than an in-between 80 yrds Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

graygo Posted July 27, 2010 At the end it shows "potential best score" is this taking the best score at every hole from all your rounds? If so I'm the "potential" leader. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArmiyaRomanova Posted July 27, 2010 Only a day to go in the The Inaugural Kickback Links Cup Ballsup, and 7 players still to register rounds. Here's the current standing. 1 Deviskan 70 2 hiz999 72 2 Chris1874 75 4 Bigsmak 75 4 AndyMcI77 75 A heads-up for school nights next week.... WGT only allows single round games - but we have Kickback to tally things up on. So, next week I plan to run a full four-round tourney, with a cut etc.... only one round will be active at any one time, with 24 hours for you to register a score. Sound decent?

Rick Grimes Posted July 27, 2010 81 on St Andrews tho could have taken at least 6 off that if putts hadn't skimmed just past or stopped just short. i bloody hate putting. club distance seems a bit off too - I can hit into the wind two clubs down from the listed distance and still end up 10 yards past :verymad: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
