Online golf text sim: www.easypar.org
I found a link for this game on the Hattrick conferences (aka forums) and signed up last week. I wanted to post about it here but forgot about it until I saw the Albatross thread. In fact I'd about forgot about it and just logged back in.
Anyway this one, www.easypar.org, really is an all text based golf sim in which you train once every 24 hour (log in for 30 seconds or so) and you can enter tournaments who run once every week, from Thursday to Sunday, as we're used to see in the regular pro tours. From what I read, tournaments are four round long with cuts after two rounds but I have not played my first tournament yet. I'm entered into the Volvo Masters, a European Tour tournament to be played at Valderama starting this Thursday. I guess I'll see how it goes on then. Right now, I know I need to set some tactics for that tournament. Still a bit to figure out bit it can't be that tough, heh. I know you can set a general tactic for the whole tournament, so I might do that... I think it's too late to enter in this week's tournament, sorry for that, but there are tournaments every week. I'm known as FrogMan over there, player id is P00979 if that's worth anything... Post in here if you are playing. FM

Well, I registered. Not sure if I'll keep up with it, but we'll see.

well, I guess I won't make the cut in that first tournament. I shot a +7 78 in my first round ever.
Kind of interesting, they give you a shot by shot of every hole as it happened. Here's how I my first hole went: Quote:
That is about how it would happen in real life I'm 118th out of 150 golfers in the tournament... FM

I am now entered in the Houston event, like daedalus and bbor and apparently st.cronin although I don't know which username he goes by. I think I recognize lcjjdnh as being from here as well as Coder too.
st.cronin, not much more of a clue than you other than you can train only once per 24 hours and apparently no more than three times in 6 days since I have this warning on my development page: "Warning - You have already had 3 practice sessions in the last 6 days and having another practice session will effect your temperament and might cause injury!"

oh, I see you now, you're listed as the 100th entry. I see Lathrop at 101.
Funny, daedalus should recognize brxnivy from Hattrick, he's also entered in that tourney. He's a category 10 ecemption although I have no clue what that means. All of us newbs are entered as category 99. FM

I just practiced for the second time and got the impression that my skills had actually gone down from the previous outing?
My first practice was on the range, mid irons. I think I remember getting the skill in question to 8. Looking now, I had all my skills at 7 again?

hrm, I think range practice brings the skill up one point and you lose points randomly once a week... anyway, here are my skills after a week of training:

Playing in my first tournament over the weekend. My player is green, and I'm sure I'll bomb, but it'll be interesting to see what I shoot.

I took a chance practicing for the 4th time in 6 days and I am now carrying a 16 day injury. So, I'm going to finish last in my next couple of tourneys.

They have opened a US Q-School today for next week. You can register for that if you wish instead of the bloated Euro qualifier.

Not sure why (as I got bored of Hattrick after a while) but I've signed in and entered the Qschool ... figure what the heck.
