Those holes in the past were probably always halved - is it still the case or are you putting from 20-50 feet away ?

Maybe if we ever start doing tournies we can make everyone back off to 85% ON THE CLUB TUNER??? just a thought.

Status: offline 		Tour mode is a lot easier than last year and is what I will be playing in my league. Turbo controller + expert driver= unrealistic. It is not the turbo that is bad, it is the ability to hit it straight with such a small sweet spot because of the controllers lack of swing sensitivity that ruins it. It is an arcade players wet dream for sure.

Status: offline 		The thing is, we shouldn't have to adjust to 85% or play tour or whatever else just to get in a good game of golf...EA sucks ass period (sorry Rick  )

It's absolutely stupid that they screw the game up by making virtually every par 4 drivable...why couldn't they take the concept of 04 and just build off of that...IMO that was the best mix of real/arcade that there was.

I've played default every year...and only played a little Tour Mode in the daily one year...but would like to learn. Man...Irish would shoot some real low scores in the daily on tour mode Thursday.

Regarding distance control on approach shots:

How do you control distance without tapping? Do you actually practice 75-80-85-90-95 percent swings with the analog stick?

My guess is that course management also plays a part. Hitting a long drive and leaving the ball at a huge yardage gap between a sand and lob wedge would be bad...I figure. Perhaps tour players sometimes tee up with a 3 or 5 wood so they can use a full swing on approach...adjusting only the loft for increased accuracy.

there 50/50 some short putts and some 30/40 footers but IMO even the puttin is way 2 easy this year

Status: offline 		Lets just say as well that Bay Hill isn't the only course where a Par 5 is Drivable.  Theres alot more out there...Wolf Creek I think there is 2 and I really haven't run any other courses yet, but I can only imagine.

Pretty sad that on Tour, you can Drive 6 greens with helpfull wind (Carnoustie yesterday).  Game is solid, but I agree on the steroid drives for this years version.  Even though last years game was alot tougher...I think I enjoyed the challenge where holeouts and driving greens was very rare.

Status: offline 		Its not just the driver, either.  I tuned my wedges so that I can flop 83 yards and my HL shows 130.... There isn't a par 5 in the game that I would be hitting a 7 iron to wedge into the green (barring strong wind comin at ya).

There is no shame in being a short hitter this year.  I hope this year we can have a night where the driver stays out of the bag.
