XBOX 360 Country Club (TW13)

[Xagoth]

Wow, we are ranked #61 now!

Nice going guys!

Getting ready to play the Bethpage daily....guessing I will shoot a +10 or so...

[Xagoth]

+3 on the Bethpage daily.

So not as bad as I thought...but man, I was coming up short in my medium game badly for some reason. But thanks again for the tip on aiming on the ball...my short game has improved dramatically! One thing I didn't notice in my haste to just hit the ball...sometimes in the rough the aiming cursor is actually ABOVE the ball by default...THAT was probably why I was hitting balls so far past the target...


So just tossing an idea out there...

I noticed we have two Country Clubs going from the TOP website.

Maybe separate those two in to "minor" and "major" league clubs?

The minor league basically having easier settings for us less skilled folks.

If someone starts to really dominate in the minors, they get moved up to the majors as soon as a spot opens.

I know from playing years of online leagues in other sports, there WILL be some turnover in players....so spots will open up.

Again, just tossing an idea out there that could help lower skilled players such as myself not feel so bad in comparison to other players in the CC. Also would be pretty damn nice to spend a while in the minors and finally get the "call up" to play with the big boys!

I honestly feel so overmatched in comparison to guys like Dominick it has me a bit worried I am going to be dropped at some point in favor of a better player.

Damn that filled up fast. I joined another club just to see what it was like for Tournament difficulty, and didnt like it so I thought I'd come back here.. oops! Oh well haha..

I was kinda thinking about major and minor clubs. Buttttt I think you lose all stats when you leave one club and join another which would kinda be pointless as an individual.

Also, do not worry about playing poorly and getting dropped.... If you play a lot, you are a highly valued member. A couple of the guys in the TOP CC are not the best players, but put more time in and we would never in a million years consider dropping them. They are competing for Club Champion... The internal competition and rivalries are fun. The overall position of the Club is the goal and Status is more important than scores... I love all my guys who play the game a lot and play with them regardless of their skill....

Didn't know that...oh well, kind of squashes that idea.

And thanks guru...I may not post good scores, but I will probably play quite a bit!

[thedudedominick]

Yeah just so everyone knows, your scores will have nothing to do with your status in the club.

If you stay active, have fun, and contribute to advancing the club through either online or offline play your spot will never be taken. The only people who will be kicked from the club will be the inactive people, or anyone who is blatantly disrespectful of another club member. We all like to joke around, but we all know when it goes too far.

[Xagoth]

No worries there then.

I should be fairly active (10-15 hours+ a week) and if for whatever reason I can't be....I will let you know. Not the type to just quit playing and not say a word (pet peeve of mine actually in online leagues...really isn't that hard to just say you don't have time or are bored of the game...but happens all the time regardless).
