Can someone give me a putting lesson? I shot 92 (52-40) at Augusta National yesterday, and I'm not very happy about it. Who 7-putts? I'm not joking - I need putting tips.
As an aside, this video game is a ton of fun. I played on "tournament mode," which makes it play more like real golf without all of the power boosting, spinning the ball while it's in the air, etc. I enjoyed some of the nuances like seeing the shots from the player's actual view. Blind shots are blind shots. The camera doesn't follow the ball in the air, it just leaves you staring at the undulating fairway in front of you. It takes a little getting used to, but it's certainly more realistic and gives you a better feel for the real Augusta. You can tell that the micro-managers at The Masters certainly had their hands in creating the game - the only thing missing is the pimento cheese sandwiches.
