Here is the idiot question of the week....

How do you select shot type?

I've played bump and runs with 8 irons, chipped with the 60, used the PW, and have no problems with any of them.

I select "chip" as the shot type...move my target to where I want to land, then make a more deliberate swing and it works.

I had to share a moment from last night which made me love the game:

I won 3 nationwide tournaments in a row, got the PGA invite but declined because I still have to improve my skills. The next one I'm up and down the leaderboard, but find myself 1 shot behind the leader with 3 holes to play on the final round.....

I get a 12 on the next hole, literally said "shot limit has exceeded". I think I 9 putted or something.

Now I know how charlie Wi felt....

Geez, I tried to play in one of our club tourneys and the thing is set up without the grid. It is next to impossible to read the greens. Can you put the grid back? I am fine with no spin on the golfball but putting is atrocious...

[Jonnydanger81]

Yeah, sorry about that.  I didn't know they were so many options.  You can press Triangle to get the caddie's read of the green and they do a pretty good job of pointing you in the right direction.  I played it with my character who is horrible and was right around even par.  I'll either change that one or set up another one that is more user friendly.

on the 360, it is the x button...I would assume the square button on PS3.

Won the nationwide championship yesterday, and joined the PGA tour. I think the greens are set faster for the PGA, makes the game much more interesting.

Also spend about 10 bucks of xbox points on all new clubs (couldn't help myself).

Is anyone arranging tournaments on the xbox CC?

[Chris Stewart]

There's currently a tournament on the Xbox CC that I believe starts today.

Yup. I believe they're created automatically.

On PS3 the club leader, or Admin (up to 5 per club) can set up tournies.  I set one up but rushed through it and it's kind of a sucky tournament.  Lots of options to select.  I'll set up an Augusta one on PS3 this week.

Anyone play this yet? How is the scoring going?

Not sure if anyone has played the other one yet, but I just set up another tournament. It's at Augusta, and in honor of Masters week and made the set-up fairly difficult (but not all the way up since we're all new to this year's game). This is on Xbox, BTW.

[Chris Stewart]

I'll make a point to play one of those CC tournaments tonight. Watch out! :)

[jhwmusic]

I'm gonna try and play a round in cc tourney right now. BOB LOBLAW1 coming to get ya!:-O

[jhwmusic]

I love how once you play the masters after winning us am that your first tourney after turning pro is tpc San antonio, a course thaT doesn't even come with the game. Way to try and dip into my pockets right off the bat, EASPORTS! At least you can the change course if you don't haVe the one being played.

[jhwmusic]

Jamo must have bought the collectors edition and has been taking advantage of the state of the art practice facilities at Augusta! -15?

[jhwmusic]

Ahhhh....it was after two rounds...but -12 in round 2 is pretty impressive. Did you stay late after round 1 to work some stuff out on the range? Ha ha:-D

[mtsalmela80]

I opened with an 81, but managed a 68 this morning for the 2nd round.

I can't understand how people are going so low with their custom golfers, have you guys played so much already to damn near max out your skills?

Interesting greens play, much hard to put without the graph, although sinking a longer putt is a lot more satisfying. I holed out twice in the 2nd round from off the green!

FWIW, I was playing as Tiger. Everyone else should also (though maybe we should keep that for this tourney only, and now I feel guilty so Ii'll play the last two rounds with my guy). After the first round I finally got the hang of putting without the grid lines. So yeah, play with one of the pros for this tournament so I don't feel like a total dick. :-)
