Not sure if anyone has seen this yet or not, but I didn't see it when I searched the forum. I found this the other day and its a pretty good online game.

It's a flash game, but its much better than nearly any flash game I've seen before. Its in Beta now, so I'm wondering if it will become a pay service once it leaves beta.

I've played the stroke play at Bethpage Black a couple times and ended up +6 both times, from the red tees. The putting is pretty hard to judge out passed 10'. I think my best put has been 15' or so to this point, although I did have a chip in from 30'.

I found the tutorials pretty invaluable if anyone is having problems figuring out the controls.

I haven't played any golf simulators in probably 10 years but this one seems pretty good, especially for an online one.

my best putt was 8 foot and ya the short-mid putts suck you have a bar from 0-30 foot and guess how hard to hit it it sucks i hit like 93% of grens but still end up at +11 at the end of the round

The game has sure come a long way since the last post.  There are now seven 18 hole courses available for stroke play (although 1 course you have to pay greens fees and is a ripoff).

Give it a try if you're looking for a realistic golf game.

Anyone play this game?  I have an account that I haven't used in ~ 2yrs.  I logged on tonight to see what courses they have and was impressed with the line-up.

Hi All,

Does anyone play this game at all?

I've recently downloaded it and it's surprisingly difficult (in comparison to tiger woods on the xbox/playstation), and there's a few decent courses on it like St Andrews and Celtic Manor to name a couple.

I only ask as there's a bit where you can create a club and play against each other, so it would be interesting playing against other actual golfers.

Regards,

Rob

I just started playing. I am not a fan of the constant need to buy credits on the games to get better equipment. I know this is the current trend but it is also the reason I quit playing video games. I just clicked over to amateur... I don't know how much longer I will keep playing it...

I played it but found the putting so annoyingly difficult that I've never finished 9 consecutive holes.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
