I have the retail Historic Edition version on the 360 and just shot a -7 in my first Amateur Tournament in default Simulation mode. Did not miss yardages per se, and hit 11 of 14 fairways with a Control/Draw Golfer who was at Level 72......the only area I feel yardages could be beneficial is on the Tee, but even then, the limited just above your shoulder camera view would not be all that helpful. What I work on is hitting the middle of the fairways and then work on my approach shots using the HUD which gives you yardage to the hole. Is it perfect? No, but it is what it is and I am making the most of the challenge.
