  #1 is a given.
  After that, I would not want to rank any of the many other fine folks that have graced this game above or behind each other. .Lots of great peeps have graced this game over the years. Mr. Caddie is one that immediately comes to mind but there are many others as well. ScottHope is one. Callaghan159, Robert1893, yourself and many others for their benevolence. Maybe not exactly famous but Hall of Fame qualities for sure!
  Imagine the Enquirer these days? What with the turkey hats and magic clothes and all the crap that has come along since? It would be a riot!
  The memory of Dennis and the Andyson Memorial will far outlive the life of this game, that's for sure!

   Indeed, it has been a great pleasure to interact with many of the fine folks on here. My short list would have to include (in no particular order) the O P, the other Opy, TP, SM, Bubbs, Wiger, Paulton, his name is Yancy, give a shout out fer Icon ( who's been around long enough to appear in some of the original cave drawings, w/ pink tutu, of course), Squirrel nutz,YJ, HPurey, Mr.C, Scott Hope, Mio, Miffy, the dearly missed darling of the forums Lizzy, and , of course , Dennis.
   Quite a few still with us, sadly, some not. It's truly been a trip, an' one I'll remember for the rest of my life.

MORE GR8 CLASSICS FROM ANDYSON & MORE

andyson 6,415 Posts

Sun, Feb 7 2010 8:11 AM

• A course editor was mentioned in another thread by Bimmerman50 which gave me this idea for a new feature.  Instead of designing your own courses and uploading to WGT, which AvatarLee correctly pointed out in the other thread would not be feasible, I submit it would be feasible to build your own course using existing holes!
  The Course Builder feature would allow you to create your own 9 or 18 hole routing using any hole, any existing tee,  any existing pin location, from any existing course.
  I'd see a click, drag and drop method to create your own course.  A list of available par 3s, 4s and 5s per existing course.  Click on one from KI, drag it to your new course scorecard, and drop it in hole #1 for example.  Click on another from BPB, drag it to your new course scorecard and drop it in hole #2.  And so on to complete your 9 or 18 hole course. Save it and give it an appropriate name. "Andyson's Aquatic Adventure" with only holes having water hazards could be one.  "Faterson's Fantastic Fantasy" for another.
  Par for 18 could be anything from 54 to 90!  Create an executive style course with 16 par 3s and a couple of short par 4s (BPB #2 red tees and KI #3 red tees) for a par 56 course.
  Play them only in practice mode of course.  Make them available to the public after trying them out.  Think of all the possibilities.  User originated tournaments on their own courses?  Could oppy come close to replicating Winged Foot using existing holes?? LOL
  Since it takes WGT a long time to introduce new courses and pin locations the community is crying out for variety....we're bored.  This feature provides plenty of variety, something else for the community to do, and lots (probably) to talk about on the forums.  WGT could even allow players to rate your new course.
  Second Idea along these lines: Build your own CTTH (I got dibs on the mulch behind KI #7)

  There aren't  millions of dedicated WGT players but there is a group of 16 (of which 8 are legends) who play together every day - YES, EVERY SINGLE DAY! It is called the EMG, which stands for Elite Members Group and it has it's own website where the members can meet & chat, without even being logged on to WGT. On the private chat, they arrange matches which are part of organised tournaments and nothing to do with WGT Country Club Tournaments. Currently there are five or six competitions running simultaneously in the SP, MP and AS formats.
  Membership is by invitation only and you can apply to join by going to this link:
  Elite Members Group

  Just for anyone to try in practice and see if it works for you like it does me! I use 50% for Elev +. I use 25% for Elev -.
  So for a 200yd approach or Par3 20ft up becomes 210yds. 20ft down becomes 195yds. Just my 2 cents here. 
   
  Edited: My math sucked there. LOL

ICONIAN's TIPS

iconian 599 Posts

Sun, Jan 3 2010 4:34 PM

• 1) What is your lie in the rough and how far away is the green. Remember if you are more than 2yds from the green, don't use the chip.
  
• 2)What is the elevation difference.
  
• 3)What is the break of the green where your shot will first hit the green. The break may be slight near the hole, but remember that the ball rolls for 75% of the shot. Try dragging the aim arrow to where you think the ball will touchdown, and check the break there also.
  
• 4)Always practice using 1 type of chip. I always use backspin, very rarely using topspin or no spin, so all distances givin are using backspin.
  

• 1) From the fairway subtract 4 to 5 yards
  
• 2) From 30/40 rough add 0 yard
  
• 3) From 40/50 rough add 2 yards
  
• 4) from 10/20 sand subtract 1 yards

  I know people random invite . Probably all day long .
    Is anyone else able or not able to join in random invites ?

  
  
   
  Ummm That would be me!!
  I don't even bother to search anymore ...I have given up hope WGT will ever get the "Lobby" situation in ALL formats back to the way it was on "Flash"
  How those days were great ....NEVER struggled to find  random players OR to join games randomly!! And inviting friends was easy as pie ...If they were  RED   or  GRAYED  OUT ...You simply didn't invite them .... GREEN  meant good to GO!! 
  This topic has been beat to death ...But it falls on def ears...

    What I want to know is if I am on the game client somewhere . How would I not be available for random multiplayer invites ?
    I want to be . I want to just show up or whatever happens when some one random invites .

    That's what I thought . Thanks for your reply .
    " Beat to death and Falling on deaf ears . "
    I used to think that is what needed to be done " relentlessly " ." Continuously " . Until these things either got fixed . Or they told us otherwise .
    But now it is all to obvious . That these , like many other features . Are simply not going to happen .
    THE PCEA PLATFORM DOES NOT HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO DELIVER A USER FRIENDLY MULTIPLAYER FORMAT .
    That's the bottom line .
    I'm probably one of the last to hold out hope .
    This is very disconcerting . Especially knowing how famous they are for not admitting errors or false claims .
    One thing their silence does . Is truly let down high hoped and dedicated members .
    As witnessed by me when I searched 5000 " TRAILBLAZERS " . And found 500 barely active ones . The remaining 4500 were inactive . Along with pages and pages more of recently non active players from 2010 on up . Totaling in the 10's of thousands . All through 2020 . That didn't see any hope or reason to hold out for more disappointment .
    Looks like they were right .
    For the MP rounds that I can play , ( mostly coins ) . I have been making efforts to bridge the communication gap . That has worked ,very slowly . But at the same time . It is not helping in the my most favored other popular MP formats . That I can almost never get a game in . Even winning a majority of the coin games . Is a poor substitute for the real MP formats . Although Alt Shot does not count either . They are played with a higher level of respect and comfort and golf rapport . Even the coin players , step up a little more when entering an Alt Shot round .
    But the battles with the invites in the MP's . Is just not worth it .
    However . There is an alternative route to playing in the other MP rounds .
    If one really wants to play . There are several Discord servers with much WGT activity .
    All one needs to do is put on their earbuds . Sign in to one of the Discord servers . And immediately you will hear activity . Requests for players in a match .
    With a simple " I'm in " . You start friending the player or players . And are accepting an invite in no time .
    It is really that simple . I just found this out recently . Then my old earbuds stopped working . It took me till yesterday to get a cheap pair . I now can go and try this out . Again .
    Discord is amazing BTW . It is the most user friendly app in sporting/gaming communication .

  To make yourself available to be invited to a multi-player game:
  Go to the GAME MODES, select the multi-player game type you want, then click the blue JOIN A GAME button.

    Okay . I am aware of that method . That is the only way ?  I guess so .
    What that does . Is puts me in the top host spot anyway . But unable to invite . Might as well have just created the game from the start . Which is what I do now .
    Thank you Sam .
    I wish they would put the search box back in the invite lobby . So other players can suggest other people they see green but I don't .
    I also think most of the online players on my friends list . Play on mobile . And cannot accept my invites .

Along with pages and pages more of recently non active players from 2010 on up . Totaling in the 10's of thousands . All through 2020 . That didn't see any hope or reason to hold out for more disappointment .

  
  At the beginning of 2021  I had around 245 members (or so) in my club I gave everyone 90 days to become familiar  with the PCEA (If they weren't already) On April 1st I went thru my roster looking for who was still active ...
  
  
  I had 37 members that Played their last round on either 12/27/20 or 12/28 ...All of which were pretty active FLASH players ...So unfortunately I removed them ...It was not a coincidence none had been active post flash shut down ..So they jumped the WGT ship.. Then another 10-15 that stopped playing sometime in January or Feb  (I am assuming they gave PCEA a try but do to the inability to find multi-player games they gave up?)
   
  Now lets fast forward to about 3 weeks ago....A member started a thread in our forum basically complaining about that lack of random games he could join and OF COURSE he brought up the ALL GREEN friends list etc...etc... This thread became swamped with replies of similar complaints...
  So what's my point?? Glad you asked  I have 2 .... #1.... If MY club basically lost 20-25% of our players (And I mean gone from WGT altogether) Since the death of Flash  we can only imagine the total number throughout WGT Land...
  And #2...The more concerning issue is this.. Many WGTr's gave up when flash died without even giving the launcher a fair shake...I was almost one of um' (I'm sure some of you remember my ranting about the "New" version but let's not rehash the past) And I'm glad I stayed because I feel the "Playability" of the launcher is far better than flash ever was!! So those who bailed early on... That's their loss. BUT and this is a big BUT...They bailed due to the fact they maybe didn't want to adjust or they didn't like the look or playability of PCEA  compared to Flash and it was not what WE were all use to (PC players anyway)
  The players that are frustrated and giving up on our beloved game over "only" the last few months are leaving because of things not getting addressed and/or corrected .... 5 Months we have been complaining about many of the same issues and there STILL unfixed?? 
  The lobby situation is not 100% Fixed... I have still not had even ONE "Random" player show up to a skins lobby NOT ONE...  If you look at my play history you will see I play 80% skinner games and I mean a TON of um !! So to NEVER have even 1 random player show up in over 100 or more random invite attempts?? On flash I/we never had a problem we always found a random 4th when needed....Same issue in Match play ....I found  3 or 4 games out of maybe 50 attempts ...So SOMETHING is still not right ..
  And the number 1 Glaring Problem ....Drum roll please ........BING ..How can we STILL be talking about a friends list that shows EVERYONE ONLINE ONLY
  
  I mean how hard could in be to to have 3 colors for an online friend????
  Whew ...Rant over

    I hear you JD . But if you remember . Before this 5 months . For over a year we had PersonalComputerEarlyAccess . Probably nearing 2 years by now . So many of us have had a good glimpse of what was coming .For a very long time .
  Welcome to WGT Early Access! . Was started , Mon, Sep 30 2019 1:04 PM
  WGT Desktop Early Access for Mac . Was started , Thu, Nov 21 2019 2:16 PM
    I think your numbers of 20 - 25 % are good . Maybe a little low . It is so hard to tell .
    I also don't think the early exiters are sorry they left .
    You also say you feel the playability is much better . Well I don't feel that way . Before the end of Flash I felt I had a chance to make TL . I have given up on TL .
    So that leaves solo , coins , CTTH's . Which I am not as good as I was in Flash . None of those 3 I enjoy .
    I attempt to play MP Stroke and Alt Shot everyday . Stroke is impossible . And I can sometimes get a full round of Alt in . But not everyday .
    I too was stunned at the direction WGT went with the adaptation to the mobile platform . As you may remember I thought it would be a disaster .
    Especially seeing with my own eyes . All the recently ( in the last 2 years ) inactive players . An astronomical number . I would find a very active " TRAILBLAZER " with 15 yes 15 pages of friends . 14 of which were inactive . I ran across similar to that , more than several times .
    But I stayed on . At first I really thought that it was just a matter of time before it would smooth out .
    I no longer feel that way . In fact . After each upgrade . It takes me longer to load the rendering . Because they are adding codes and files of course . That is what we are asking for . And with little to no headway . Where I am able to enjoy the formats I like .
    I now believe that this platform is very limited . Is not capable of the many features and intricate and specific options that we were used to .
    Some are saying that it already is . Maybe for them .
    But I had some problems with Flash since 2016 . When I was forced to play with WiFi . Very Low Definition . It is all I can get . Or afford . But the landline feed for the high speed ethernet . Is broken and corroded . The cable company COX refuses to pay for the repairs . As do the landowners in this section of the desert . And are in bad standing with each other . And always will be .
    But like I said . I had it much better with Flash as far as my connection and smoothness of play .
    I have said before . That I will eventually give up . I am sure that is true .
    I really have no idea how many others are in the same boat as me . I can get no affirmations or denials . Much like I felt running a Country Club . I can make all kinds of inquiries . That i know people read . But they have no intention of responding .
    There is also the high number of rounds that I attempt daily . With many failures . And a % of those are players quitting . Not willing to wait for my 60 to 90 second load rendering . Pre tee . The only delay in the game . But at least 1 per day will quit so fast . That my system can't keep up . The game thinks I didn't return in time and I get the forfeit and the loss of coins . Thankfully I know to screen shot every step of the way ( which is also a pain in the ass ) . And have submitted over 200,000 coins worth of false forfeits . And been reimbursed for about 50,000 .
    Many problems with game play . That I know I am not alone in . So the game itself is tough for me
    Then there is the years and years of moderation . For absolutely nothing . Moderation being separate from CS . Moderation refusing to talk with me .
    All the while I am providing QA with valuable data , screen shots and videos of various scenarios . That they are very thankful for . And if it were up to them . I would not be moderated .
    Moderating me has got to be the most wasted use of the moderation departments time that they have ever had . IDK if they are just stupid . Or maybe they are getting a good laugh . Between bong hits . There is no logic , reason or benefit to keeping me moderated .
    It is irritating to say the least . And if I actually thought about it . I would be gone based on that alone .
    But JD . Those are only yours and my viewpoints on these matters . There are so many different groups and genre's and perspectives on all of that . And only some of it has common threads . And that would be the love of Golf .
    That is not enough . Especially at this time . With the new crowd . Now becoming interested in making their rounds count . Moving up in tier . Lowering their average . Acquiring better equipment .
    There is only one solution for that . Since WGT dropped the ball with them .
    They must now learn and immerse themselves in the same adventure that we all went through and still adhere to . The system we created and perfected . Is the only system in town . That works .
    That is in the future and near future . And has barely started . That will certainly be interesting . And will take a good many years . Who knows what will lay on the other side of the creating of an all new WGT Universe .
    I do wish you , them , every one the best of success .

SOME INTERESTING CHATS WITH A VERY COOL MEMBER "ACETATE"

After taking a cursory review of everything that is the VOTSCC website I have a comment and a question.
The website is a digital representation of you. In its content, its appearance, its feel. That's all good as you are the heart of the VOTSCC.
As you said nobody makes use of the site. This is a problem because we need them to do just that. WGT offers so little to country clubs in the way of building and supporting an organization. Their idea of a CC forum is pathetic and yet that is the best tool they offer.
We can make the VOTSCC website into a forum that our members will use. To do so we would have to rip apart almost everything you have done. We would have to extract the personality of Paul and that is not something we want to do.
What we could do is keep your site. Let it remain a site that expresses who you are, both in content and appearance.
To serve our club I could launch another forum. This forum would be plain in appearance yet full of functionality.
While that is my recommendation this is your club.

  It just so happens that I have a reserve site . Ripe and waiting your master plan . This site is just an empty site ready to rock and roll . The name could be changed . All the fromats could be setup as a sister forum with everything you could thing of . Only one click away . 
  It is mine to do just that . 
http://thedeserttour.forumotion.com/
  here is the last conversation I had with Sage about it .
 THE DESERT TOUR
  I am hoping you like this idea . You could run with it . And we wouldn't have to change a thing in the mother site . They could link with no problem at all . I hope

I didn't decline. I saw the invite, tried to accept it and it said it was canceled. It then showed another invitation that said there was two and a half minutes left on the invite. Again I tried to accept and was told it was canceled.
I thought that Skip canceled when he noticed that Harry wasn't there.
I suspect it was just another glitch in WGT software.
I waited from 9 p.m. until 10:30 but Harry never showed.

[b]acetate wrote
on 14 Nov 2015 at 11:23 PM[/b]

When Harry didn't show I was going to setup and alt shot game with Skip, his partner and invite you as I saw you online. Just as I was starting Skip and his partner switched their status to busy.
One of these days I will play an alt shot game. I'd rather not have my first with strangers but that looks like the most likely to occur.

[b]acetate wrote
on 14 Nov 2015 at 11:51 PM[/b]

Already done. I sent Skip a note to apologize the issue. I don't want anyone in the league to have hard feelings.

[b]acetate wrote

... had a group that participated heavily? By that I mean them would play in most tournaments. Out of a group of 50 every tournament would have 20+ playing.
I did a quick survey of a group o completed tournaments. We averaged just over 8 players per tournament.

[b]acetate wrote
on 15 Nov 2015 at 12:07 AM[/b]

While my alt shot tournament has stumbled badly out of the gate it has increased communication in the forum and started players messaging members they have never dealt with before.
As I said many times, if I'm expecting the unattainable or trying to take your club somewhere you don't want it to be JUST STOP ME.
I have been isolated from the world for so long that I can become a bit over zealous.

[b]acetate wrote

What do you think about having a golf league? We could:

• Play one or two rounds a week.
  
• Each round would be 9 holes.
  
• They could be tracked using the tournament feature of WGT.
  
• We could have two player teams. Single player.
  
• There are a number of types of leagues we could play.
  
• Maybe we divide the participants into two divisions.
  
  
  
  • Half way through the season we could play a Ryder Cup type competition between the divisions.
    
  • We could do this again at the end of the season.
    
  
  
  
  
• Scores and standings would be posted on our new forum site. This would drive players to the site to find out where they are in the standings as well as have the chat available.
  
• Since we would be leveraging the WGT tournament engine people could play at whatever time they wanted.
  

• They could be tracked using the tournament feature of WGT.
  
  
•   Don't know what you mean by this . Please be more specific . I'm game for anything . But it is very hard to get others to participate .
  

[b]acetate wrote
on 14 Nov 2015 at 11:28 PM[/b]

I PMed Kevin early in the evening when Skip had yet to show. I didn't know if Skip was going to be working or if they would be available for play.
I will ping Skip to apologize, even though I didn't do anything. It is better to keep the team together than worry if I was right or wrong.

[b]acetate wrote
on 14 Nov 2015 at 11:39 PM[/b]

In going back through my message thread it was Kevin that sent me a message to which I replied. He didn't include Skip. That is how the communication started.
Regardless I apologize to Skip.

[b]acetate wrote
on 14 Nov 2015 at 11:49 PM[/b]

As for the league idea, what I meant by tracking using the WGT tournament features is this.

• Each week I would create a single play tournament for the league.
  
• The first week would be something like VOTSCC League Play Week #1.
  
• With each following week there would be a VOTSCC League Play Week #___
  
• This way the league members could play their game anytime during the week.
  
• For example if we played 2 member teams in the league:
  
  
  
  • The four players (2 teams of 2) none of the players would need to play at the same time.
    
  • At the end of the week, their individual 4 results in the weekly tournament would determine who won their match.
    
  • I would then post the results and update the standings.
    
  
  
  
  
• Unlike the fiasco I created with the alt shot tourney and its scheduling nightmare, this league approach would be flexible to fit the playing habits of everyone.
  

[b]acetate wrote

I don't know.
Part will depend on what interest is shown. If there is enough where we can have separate leagues for a given tier our job is simple. If the opposite occurs ...

SOME INTERESTING CHATS WITH A VERY COOL MEMBER "ACETATE"

email addresses

[b]acetate wrote

Hey Paul, do we have a list of email addresses for our members?
BTW, how are you?

[b]acetate wrote
on 08 Nov 2015 at 8:49 PM[/b]

You are probably going to slap me for this but here I go.
I'm trying to find a way to notify all of our members of my alternate shot tournament. Since many don't read the forum and my tournament doesn't show in the country club tournaments under the WGT game client there is roughly, what would you guess, 50+ percent of our CC that doesn't know it exists.
This is where you slap me, saying that it is too f#cking bad for them. I agree.
Still I want these tournaments to go. I know that I could PM each and every one of them individually. I was trying not to spend half my day doing so.
All that said I understand the privacy issue. I would be happy if the WGT contact members function worked or if we had a distribution list where members could email to the list without knowing the individual email address for every one.
I could setup a distribution list if you then wanted to load it with the emails, or is there already a similar feature on the VOTSCC website?

[b]acetate wrote
on 08 Nov 2015 at 8:53 PM[/b]

I was planning on using Challonge for the brackets. I like what you did with your tournaments and Challonge. I would like to build upon that.
If you haven't figured it out yet I'm learning anything and everything you care to share.

[b]acetate wrote
on 08 Nov 2015 at 8:57 PM[/b]

To answer one of your questions in this thread, yes I could develop crazy wicked pivot table spreadsheets that would let you look at our CC from any way imaginable.
My company use to do a lot of that with the solutions we delivered. Taking away the limits that client's IT departments created. Providing instant access to all data with the ability to slice and dice to your heart's content.

alternate shot tournament pairing

[b]acetate wrote
on 10 Nov 2015 at 9:38 AM[/b]

Any suggestions on how I should go about pairing?

[b]acetate wrote
on 10 Nov 2015 at 2:21 PM[/b]

If I'm understanding you as long as only the two players that are a pair in this tournament are playing a game, then the green speed of the higher level player will be used.
For example if we were paired, then we would be playing with a green speed ofTourney 12, as you are a Legend while I am a lowly Pro.
On the other hand if I were paired with Harry we would be playing at Very Fast 10, as Harry is a Tour Pro while I am still that lowly Pro.

[b]acetate wrote
on 10 Nov 2015 at 2:21 PM[/b]

If I'm correct so far, then I would pair as follows:
Harry & Ace
Racinray76 & Jimq916
the eight Legends and Dan, the single Tour Legend would be matched via a draw
Kmamjmemedmmm & Skip380

[b]acetate wrote
on 10 Nov 2015 at 2:22 PM[/b]

Or do I just shuffle everyone and play the tournament at Champion 13 green speed?

We will use practice mode, per your recommendation. What do you think about:

• Very fast 10 green speed.
  
• Medium wind.
  
• Default tee and hole location.
  

• skip380 - champion - 91 - 61.87
  

• kmamjmemedmmm - champion - 94 - 62.52

  I did some research on this a few years ago.  I didn't update the active vs. non-active for the complete list.  I limited my search on anyone who signed up before April 1, 2008.  I just found that after that date, there were HUNDREDS of sign-ups.  Before April 1, 2008, I could only find 44.   Here they are.    If I missed anyone, let me know.  Thanks.

  As for Travis, yes there was a Travis from June 2007 but I'm not sure he even played a single game.  There is no evidence that he did anything other than signing up.  But I will ad him to the list.  Thank you.

Tips and tricks to get more out of the social network

• Stop browsing through the emoji list, the text shortcuts will add a necessary emoji to your message. Simply type: poop: and that emoji will be added. The most popular ones have the following shortcuts: Shark (^^^), Middle Finger [[midfing]], Not Bad [[notbaad]], Horny 3:)
  
• Unfriend someone and do not lose access to his or her account. Just unfollow that person instead of unfriend. You will not get any information from them on your wall anymore.
  
• Facebook messenger has a hidden basketball game. Simply send your friend a basketball emoji and click the sport pictogram.
  
• Settings > People > Message Requests > See Filtered Requests and here you have much more messages than you could ever expect.

  Love the recap video Yancy! Glad I stumbled upon the tournament sign up thread, I can see I've been missing out on a lot of fun. I have a lot of catching up to do.
  No real exciting story behind the 5 L's, been using that for various user names on different sites for years. The first try at a user name would be Lloyd, that was taken so I'd try LLloyd. Got all the way up to LLLlloyd and it was still taken (maybe by myself from the early years when I used to play on my lunch hour at work as a hack). I think it finally worked for me when I added the 88. See, I told it wasn't very exciting.

    2017 AndySon Memorial Golf Tournament Give-Aways/Prizes
    
    Check out the prizes & give-aways from the 2nd Annual AndySon golf tournament. These are unconventional prizes for an event like this, as we are giving away "physical" items & sending them to your doorstep!
    Make sure you watch thru this one --- there is a bump about some suprisable prizes/give-aways that well-known WGT player Mr.Caddie is currently ankles deep-into (allegedly)
    These are given away Yancy style (less the overall low-score winner) which means they will be given out for unusuables stats or whatnot, or even on the fly (watch the forum post for give-aways).
    So --- if your in this tournament, you got the same chance as all to win some most excellent stuff and such.
    Good Luck -- My name is Yancy

        Mid-round2 interlude with a prehistoric blast from the past:
        
        
        

      
      
      
      
    
    
    
  
  
  

Basic Formulas for all shots on WGT,

 COURTESY OF PRO ZONE COUNTRY CLUB 

http://www.dropzonecc.com/articles/basic-formulas-for-all-shots-on-wgt

Basic Formulas for all shots on WGT

• Driver: Big Bertha – Distance = 287
  
• 3 Wood: Big Bertha – Distance = 245
  
• Irons: Taylor Made R11 – Distance = 120 – 225 (Same club as Taylor Made RSi2 Level 90)
  
• Wedge: Cleveland 56W Level 76 – Distance = 100
  
• Wedge: Cleveland 60W Level 78 – Distance = 80
  
• Wedge: Cleveland 64W Level 80 – Distance = 60
  
• Putter: Odyssey Versa #1 Level 70
  
• Ball: Nike Level 71 and Volvik Crystal Level 51 (both play virtually the same)
  

How to work the Unknown variable:

Variables

• D = Distance – total distance to pin.  Look at top right corner for full distance
  
• H = Height – Up divide by 1/2 || Down divide by 1/3
  
• R = Rough – will give figures bellow
  
• S = Sand – will give figures bellow
  
• W = Wind – divide by 1/2
  
• U = Unknown
  

Rough

• 10-15% = +2
  
• 20-25% = +5
  
• 30-40% = +10
  
• 40-50% = +20
  
• Anything above 40-50% you are better off with a punch shot to get back to the fairway.
  

Full Shot Equation:

• Notice that height is down 24 divided by 3 = -8
  
• wind in my face is 12 divided by 2 = 6
  
• Unknown is 5 = +5
  
• Total distance that I would swing is: 118
  

Sand Trap Equation:

Punch from Sand

• Wind on a pitch shot is measured 1 for every 10 MPH.
  
• Depth of sand figures into the equation.  See chart bellow.
  
• Always use full back spin coming out of a bunker.  It will roll, and normally more than you would expect.
  
• The Unknown variable may help you here, but I would say with this equation I may roll past the hole a little but normally I stop right before it.
  
• You may need to use your putter to help you line up the roll to the hole, I do and it has improved my bunker shots.
  
• If it is a drastic downhill then subtract an extra 5 for the unexpected roll out.
  

• 10-20% = +3
  
• 30-40% = +6
  
• 40-50% = +8
  
• 60-70% = +11
  

Flop Figures for sand:

• 10-20% = +2
  
• 30-40% = +4
  

Full swing figures for sand:

• 10-20% = 5
  
• 30-40% = +10
  
• 40-50% = +20
  
• 60-70% = +35
  

Full Shot Equation:

• Notice that height is down 24 divided by 3 = -8
  
• wind in my face is 12 divided by 2 = 6
  
• Unknown is 5 = +5
  
• Total distance that I would swing is: 118
  

Punch Equation:

• Wind on a punch shot is measured 1 for every 10 MPH.
  
• The rough is added by taking the larger of the 2 numbers.  (40-50% would be adding 5).
  
• I have high level clubs so I usually don’t use backspin except on smaller numbers.  If I use backspin I add extra to the shot.
  
• I started adding the extra to the shot the same as you might using the unknown variable because I was coming up a little short.
  

• If the distance is under 30 I add 5 to the shot and use full back spin.
  
• If the distance is between 30 and 40 I add 4 to the shot and use full back spin.
  

Pitch Shot Equation:

• Wind on a pitch shot is measured 1 for every 10 MPH.
  
• Ignore the rough on a pitch shot it rarely if ever comes into play.
  
• If you use back spin add 1 to the shot (Your clubs and balls may be different use the unknown variable here).
  
• Expect the roll out especially if the down is in feet and not inches.
  
• Use your putter to aim for the break (Normally a pitch is in the air longer so only look at the last couple of feet before the hole).
  
• It does take a little practice to get good with the pitch shot, but once you have it down you find that you will sink more with a pitch than you will a flop.
  
• For every 12 inches (1 foot) down subtract 1 from the shot.
  
• If you are using a larger club for the pitch shot and pitching a 20 subtract 2, there will be more roll out with the larger club.
  
• Long distance pitches with top spin are great if you learn the measurements.  Normally a subtraction of 5 or 6 from the total with 1/2 to 3/4 top has made me some great eagles.
  

Flop Shot Equation:

• Most of the time you can ignore the up because the ball goes up before it hits.  However, you may find on certain holes if you are coming up a little short to use a second unknown variable just for that hole.
  
• Wind = 1 for every 10 MPH.
  
• You may have roll out but always use full backspin on a flop shot.  They are suppose to stop, although occasionally they will roll.
  
• Some people play the first line on the meter bar for the shot, I however do not find that reliable.  I use reverse view and move a box for every 10 yards.
  
• If you have cross wind for every 10 MPH that is considered one box of movement.  As you move the box to the left (right in reverse view) for the slice look at the wind.  There are times I don’t move it at all and there are times when a 20 yard flop I have to move out 4 boxes because of the wind.
  
• Rough is added as you do with the punch shot.  Add the larger number (30-40% = +4)
  
• Add an additional 1 for every 3 foot up the shot is.
  

Chip Shot Equation:

• Wind rarely comes into play with such a short shot.  I never chip anything farther than  7 yards.
  
• Chips pop up and down quick.  Make sure that you are within a foot of the green or you will land in the rough again.
  
• Aim with your putter for the break.  Remember a chip rolls a lot farther than a pitch does so aim like you would a putt.
  
• Normally I hit a chip with 100% backspin to slow it down.
  
• I normally subtract 1 from the distance and more if it is down.
  
• Do not make chip shots your best friend, they are not reliable shots.
  
• If the chip is going uphill do not subtract 1 and hit it even instead of using back spin.
  
• I will only add the unknown variable in case you are still rolling out to far.

Eleven Windows 10 problems - and how to fix them

azdewars 362 Posts

Thu, Mar 17 2016 11:51 AM

1. Open Control Panel, run Windows Update and ensure that the PC is fully up to date. If updates fail, run the Windows Update Troubleshooter (see below, number 3)
   
2. Use the Media Creation Tool. Don't rely on GWX: visithttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10, click Download tool now, save the tool and run it on the PC you want to upgrade. If this didn't work for you back when Windows 10 launched, try it again now - the tool has been improved.
   
3. Make sure that hardware Disable Execution Prevention (DEP) is switched on in the BIOS, referring to your motherboard manual for help if you need it. If you still have problems, use the Start Menu to search for 'performance', run Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows, click the Data Execution Prevention tab and turn DEP on for all programs and services, then reboot and try again.
   
   

2 - Can't upgrade to the latest Windows 10 version

3 - Windows Update isn't working

4 - Turn off forced updates

5 - Fix privacy and data defaults

6 - Where's Safe Mode when you need it?

7 - Enable System Restore

8 - Bad localisation, Cortana 'not available'

9 - Fix slow boot times

10 - The lock screen gets in the way

11 - I can't play a DVD!

IN THE BEGINNING

  Wow, you guys have made this so amazingly more complicated than it is.  Let me see what I can do to simplify this...
  The game is pretty simple.  Precision controls your accuracy.  Imagine it's like a circle that surrounds the flagstick when you aim at it.  The size of that circle is related to the precision rating.  The higher the rating the smaller the circle.  Your ball can land anywhere in the circle on a dinged shot (left or right, long or short).  It will ALWAYS land in the circle on a ding shot, though sometimes it may land in the center of the circle and sometimes it may land on the very outer edge or anywhere in between those two points.  When it lands on the outer edge this is what you guys have come to know as "the beast".  Was the shot pre-programmed? Does it know you're standing on the 17th hole at Kiawah?  No, it's just unfortunate timing.  The result you see is the logical spread dictated by the precision rating of the club over 100 or 1,000 or 10,000 shots taken on the site.  No matter how big or small the sample it's amazingly consistent because it is after all only a simple mathematical formula.  The shot data is spread out amongst all users, so there will be times when you run into a lot of "edge cases" (aka deviations, aka outside edge of the precision circle) and times where you seemingly can't miss the center (even when you mishit).  This is the ebb and flow of the game and it's always been there.  In the short term you will have "bad" days and "good" days.  In the long term (providing they are using the same clubs) any one player will see the same amount of "edge cases" or "deviations" that the rest of the players do.
  And that's all there is to it!  The other theories can be put to bed.  There's no behind the scenes tweaking, no changing club attributes based on skill and no hidden mechanism that knows when you're on a water hole.  It's just a formula that runs exactly the same for every single shot and it has no idea (nor does it care) where you are on the course.  It doesn't matter if it's the first tee shot on #1 or the winning 10-foot putt in the USGA Virtual Championship.  The formula runs the exact same calculation every single time and you're always at risk for an "edge case".  How far away an "edge case" can take you depends solely on your precision rating for that club.  The higher the precision rating (and conversely the more lofted the iron) the less "edge cases" will take you away from where you aimed. 
  Course releases have ZERO affect on your clubs. When a course is released it's just assets, hole maps, minimaps, HD photos and stuff that has absolutely no affect on your clubs.  Us adding a JPG picture file (or 100,000 of them) does not change the way your approach shot on Kiawah #2 interacts with the green.  Each course has it's own settings and each course comes with it's own set of "surfaces".   If you go into Oakmont expecting your clubs to interact the same way they do on Kiawah then you've already made your first mistake.  Every course has it's own nuances right down to how the ball is affected by elevation and break and you'll have to figure that out with practice.  While adjusting to those nuances you may forget the nuances you learned on the older courses and get stuck in between your adjustments.  That happens to me too.  A new course comes out and suddenly I can't make a putt on Kiawah because I've spent so much time learning how to play the new breaks on Oakmont.  As a result I end up over-playing breaks on everything for a short time while I adjust.
  Hope that clears some of this confusion up.  You fellas certainly come up with some wild ideas, but it's no where near as complicated or convoluted as some of you seem to think it is.  Remember, keep it simple because it really is simple. =)
