That does not bode well, as the next tournament is Sawgrass with a island green

And plenty of water

I wish that this 3-click barometer wasn't so fast-The two bars who appears after I have released the left button goes fast around.

In real life it would be like place ball on wood stick then hit the ball directly no aiming.

Maybe try a controller? If you don't have one, any cheap USB X Box knock-off will work great.

Are you kidding? No aiming?

Once you got into Golf+ and have a golf attachment club, you will immediately realise how extraordinarily complex the task is. Sports theory not for no reason says the golf swing is the most complex and difficult movement process known in sports. I am at war with it since I started playing golf half a year ago.

And just btw., I've pulled a muscle in my back once again. Overstretching/overrotating during the drive...

That may be true, but here we are just talking about a couple of clicks, and mapuc is struggling with the timing. Just a matter of getting that down. In this game we don't worry about ball position, stance, swing plane, transition, grip or the myriad things a real golfer contends with. Here it is just set power, click click. The rest is taken care of automatically.

I don't know if a controller would help, maybe not, but it is my preferred way to play this game.

I was pulling his leg, but for the record, he did explicitly refer to real golf when he said that in reality you do this and that and "would not aim".

("In real life it would be like place ball on wood stick then hit the ball directly no aiming.") Wood stick = pin, I assume. So he refers to a drive in the real world.

Well, you must aim the drive. I know - since it gives me nothing but troubles. I spray my first shots off the tee in a 35° arc left and right off the intended target line.

Yeah, fair enough. He's frustrated I reckon and doesn't really mean this. Playing 2K23 well is just a matter of getting the swing timing down. Of course you need to properly judge all factors -- wind, elevation, lie, slope -- but primarily it comes down to hitting your marks to attain the proper distance and direction. If you cannot do this reliably it will be frustrating no doubt.

We've actually attracted a couple more new players, but there is plenty of room for more if anyone wants to check out our society come on in. TPC Sawgrass ends tomorrow and then we are off to Pinehurst #2

Did Sawgrass in my golf game, just three hours ago. 110.

Already my second turn on Pro, last time I also needed 110 strokes. There is water. I am Aquarius. Go figure.

One thing is certain. I like to play golf - but for the most I am certainly free of talent.
