[thealmighty]

Again, the margin of victory was less than before, but still no real suspense. I guess I can try to get to the next level as quickly as feasible and see what happens.

I was at the Notapro website tying to download the course for the next FOFC tourney (which I couldn't get to work) and there is some knashing of teeth at the troubles some people are having at the Master Level, which I am assuming is next.

We will see as soon as possible.

[Desnudo]

How does the game manage the difficulty of the various levels? Are the courses more difficult, or do the other players shoot better?

[thealmighty]

Both, Desnudo.

In the early going, the tees you hit from are further up than they are now. The farther your career goes, the farther back the teeboxes go, elongating the yardage for the same holes/courses you played before.

The opponents in amateur are terrible. Most hit drives in the 230 yard area and do not even carry a driver. The power and shotmaking go up some every level you advance.

The problem that you have (at least you have if you are any good) is that you start out better than the amateurs (a lot better) and as the opponents skills advance, so do yours through raising your attributes, so that you always (so far) maintain your ability above the computer opponent. The competition has a great event once and a while, but by and large, it is fairly easy to win almost every event. (Or else I am really good. )

[Desnudo]

Sounds right up my alley then. I hate a fair fight. Judging by the results of the first FOFC, it does look like you're something of a video golf savant though.

I just bought it and am installing it now. This is the first golf game I've played since that Sega golf game way back in the early 90s. Although I was apartment champ, summer of 1994, so my resume is fairly impressive.

[thealmighty]

Too bad you don't get paid by Tiger for being good, huh?

Nice to see you're at it again. I've found what you mentioned about opponents seeming to be a level below you to be true. Especially now that I've got all skills above 90 and driving at 100.

[thealmighty]

School started so I don't have the time I had in summer, plus I am using half my Tiger Woods time on the FOFC League Tour playing and practicing. I am now kind of in a hurry to get to the top level, cuz it is more fun to win if you lose every now and then.

BTW, that 58 at Colonial may be the best round I have ever played. I think Colonial is one of the best courses because of all the doglegs and trees in the way. 58 is an excellent score, imho.

On April 4th, we played in a 2-player scramble with, as usual it seems, Brad Faxon as our partner. It was at TPC at Sawgrass.
>

>

>

THough Faxon sucked again, and we didn't even get to use a shot he hit until the 5th hole, our team was victorious.

We had 4 eagles on the round and ended up at 16 under par. Corey Pavin and Colin Montgomerie were second at -12.

The win was good for $611,794

[thealmighty]

On April 24th, we played an 18 hole Stableford Scoring System tourney. It was at Bay Hill.

>

>

>

We made 12 pars, which usually means not enough points to win this kind of event. However, 2 eagles netted 10 points in two holes to catapult us to the win. We had +15 points on the day.

Paul Azinger and Harrison Frazer tied for 2nd with +13. Tiger was tied for 41st with 6 points.

The win was good for $377,935

[thealmighty]

On May 19th, we played in shootout against Monty, O'Meara and Stricker. It was at Poppy Hills.

First Stricker went out in a chip-off.

Then Montgomerie went out in another chip-off.

Then I made an 8 and lost to O'Meara.

Site: Torrey Pines, South Course. Very long at 7,607 yards, but mostly straight, thin fairways.

Purse: $50,000,000

We don't know what to expect, but with the length of the course you would think second shots will be long irons. That is not really our favorite, but it depends on the wind and the green speed. We don't really have a problem with the rough, though it should be heavy for this magnitude of an event.

Well, we are in the top ten, but just barely. We couldnt putt for shit, and in fact had 5 tap-ins of 6 inches or less after lagging putts just short for bird or par.

We don't think a bunch of 69s will get in the top ten, but with this game you never know.

Stay tuned for round 2, to be shown tomorrow on this channel.

This is it. We have the perfect conditions to make our move. The greens are WET and the wind is CALM. If we falter in today's round, we can't expect another round with perfect conditions to do better.

2 pars and 16 birdies.

That is what we needed. We can't expect wet greens and calm winds again. We have the cushion we need in case we screw up or someone puts 2 awesome rounds together. 13 shot lead over #11 on the leaderboard, and all we need is 10th.

Up 10 shots with one round to go.

I don't care what conditions there are, I can't see any way to lose. Therefore, no sense trying for drama where none exists. I will post the final round as above, not a shot-by-shot listing.

[sterlingice]

Somehow I doubt you'll be beating that 16 birdie day for a while

SI

[thealmighty]

Yeah, SI, I may have unfortunately hit my zenith already. I guess it gives me something tangible to shoot (no golfing pun intended) for.

The wild thing is I only had 16 putts the whole round as I chipped in 3 times from 25 feet or less.

And, imo, 25 feet or less chipshots are easier than putting. I make them 80% of the time, I would say. 95% of the time from 15 feet or under.
