I quite like video games but don't buy a load of them. Used to be a PlayStation guy, had a PS1, then PS2 in the UK and loved Gran Turismo 3 and 4. Gave it to my brother when I emigrated and inherited my wife's XBox which is OK. Quite enjoy playing sports games; Fifa 07, Tiger Woods 06 and Rugby 06. Also have Grand Theft Auto San Andreas which is good fun but I seem to have found a bug in the game and can't play the missions anymore...

When Gran Turismo 5 comes out on PS3 I'll buy one of those.

Can you go ten posts in a row without trying to buy or sell something? Just curious.

I played the TW '09 demo. The Club Tuner looks pretty cool.

I play video games all the time. In the last few months, I finished up GTA IV, Metal Gear Solid 4, and have now moved on to Madden 09. The new online leagues seem like they are going to be fun. Tiger 09 will be a must buy, I liked the demo. I also play World of Warcraft, but thats a whole different story

I liked the Demo as well, but the HUD when your playing seemed a little too flashy for my liking. It was too bunched and there was too much information on the screen, the layout is not that great either.

The club tuner is something new, but I feel still far from realistic. I mean it is kind of boring in a way.. I was expecting more of a stiff or regular shaft, lofts adjusted, etc etc. Like real life. And I hope they have a better choice of equipment this year than last year. And what is up with the Masters not being in the game? Do they have some sort of copyright so they can't add it in there?

I always figured it was because of the way Augusta National is run, they would never let them put the course on a game. They dont even let women become members, so I am sure letting a video game use the likeness of the course isnt something that is going to happen. So as it is, we play the "Southern Major"

Augusta is very old fashioned. There is no advertising on the course, etc...so it can't be in a game. It sucks.

      Pitching

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Depends on the lie, pin location, green.  I would say most of my pitches are with my 60-degree.  Its probably like 90% 60-degree, 10% 56 degree.

      Depends on my lie and the green I am working with. If I want to fly and stop, my 58* If I am looking for it to run a bit, my 54* And on occasion if the lie and green call for it, punch and run with my 7i

      RTJ Trail Itinerary (5 Days From ATL) — Thoughts?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I did the RTJ trail, we just did Grand National and Capitol Hill. We were trying to minimize travel time. It gave us 5 courses to play. You pare playing 3 of the 5 we played.  If I had to pick, I would play the Lakes over the Links at Grand National. Links felt too penal on approach shots. If you can't get height or spin, it felt like every ball that hit the center of the green ran off the back. A lot of the greens require force carry, no running it up. It just wasn't that fun to play.   Judge - Really good course, some really cool holes and terrain.   Senator - Really fun open course. They call it link style, I can't remember how much you can play the ball down, but it has the aesthetic appeal.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I do that at the range; I just have been going through a half-assed pre-shot routine. 😇 I just kind of waltz up to the ball and hit it. I catch myself just going through the motions of aiming. Once I started aligning my club to an intermediate target, I felt like I was aligned way open to the target but just trusted it. Like, if the club was aimed at the flag in the middle of the green, then my body was aligned left of the green or more (assuming something like a 100+ yard shot). I think I was more concerned with where my feet were lined up and not the clubface.  A question on alignment then.  So, the ball is like what, 3-FT away from the toe target line. So, does that mean if my toe line is aimed at the flag, the club is aimed 3-ft right? Does the perception of the green looking smaller in the distance impact that in terms of how we hit the shot? I feel like the geometry should work that the ball is actually aimed 3-FT right.
