Yes on both counts.

Well, 3-clicking on default settings in my 2nd Pro tournament I won by 11 strokes wit ha -21.

I see many people with -21 on 9 holes but I'm no thumb jockey so . . .

I'm starting over with Custom 3-click settings. Everything hard but I want ball arc and green bubble thingys on. I don't mind winning but I do like to struggle a LITTLE

[gmmsports]

Game is incredibly too easy. I am playing with custom settings, 3-click hard, all wind and lie effects turned up to the max, shot arc off, zoom off. The only thing I have on is the break bubbles on the green (because its impossible to remotely read greens without it)

Won my first tournament by 6 strokes with a 61 overall golfer and I played horribly. I imagine I will be winning every tournament by double digit strokes from here on out...

Is there something I am missing?

[JayhawkerStL]

Sucks to be you. There is no way I could do that. The game is challenging for me, as long as I leave the arcs and zoom off.

And I've been playing the series since TW 10.

I was using 3-click on default settings and won my first tournament by 13 hitting in the 62s.

So I turned off all the helps except for putting and went from normal swing to Hard swing and my scores ballooned up to the 85s.

I WISH there was one more setting. Make swing speed and the two target spots separate. Normal swing speed but make mistakes more noticeable.

Although I'm still at level 65 it is still a little easy. I can either hit 85s or 68s - no in between. It's not the golfing that is troubling me - it's the tournaments. I want to struggle a little to make cuts as I get better. The tournaments are too easy!!

BTW - I literally "golfed" on a green screen so so many years ago. Before Tiger Woods.

Interesting everyone hated Nantz in Madden but want him to come back to golf. So I am thinking of downloading this game again, what modes and other things (besides the 19 courses) were added since launch?

I really like the commentary in RM. I think if it got future installments they could flesh it out more, but the guys doing it were great, in my opinion.

You are not going to want RM for its new features. The biggest problem with the game is how bare bones everything really is. Career mode is sterile, no calendar, and you feel like you are playing alone. There are no country clubs or a way to organize to play with friends. The stats it tracks are minimal and almost pointless.

What I do is play the course that the PGA will have on TV in a given week. the course designs are so flipping perfect and well done, that it is cool to see real life players facing the same challenges you do.

Then I play the Online tourneys. These are set up to rotate all the courses, and you can see how you match up. While there are those few guys that can beat the game and post unrealistic scores, I just compare my scored to friends. Of course, there aren't so many people playing now, so that's not as fun as it was.

I really haven't been playing for awhile. I will pick it up in the spring, probably. I was hoping a new game would be coming, but the series seems dead.

Oh, there is a pretty extensive arcade mode with crazy challenges called the Nightclub. It's kind of obnoxious, but it's also fun. It feels out of place here, but its actually pretty well done.
