Las Vegas = -6
Saffron Walden = -2

Total = -8

mailman · 04 March 2012, 18:25

Small improvement on Saffron Walden -6

I could have done better than this. Maybe more luck next time.

Total score = -12

Graham Humphrey · 04 March 2012, 21:44

Pretty poor show on Las Vegas...

Las Vegas: +5

...but a much better one on Saffron Walden.

Saffron Walden: -7

Total: -2

Anakirob · 06 March 2012, 10:01

Check it...

Las Vegas -17

Saffron Walden -15

Total: -32!

I'm pretty pleased with this score and I hope that it means that I won't have to play this game any more to stay on top.

One piece of advice I might give is it's much better to go for the conservative route than to risk hitting it into trees or water. Another is that the crosshair almost always needs a little adjustment, most golf games aim it straight at the hole, not this one.

Gordon · 06 March 2012, 12:29

Anakirob, have you actually played this game alot? or just started for this Competeition?

Anakirob · 06 March 2012, 21:04

I tried it a couple of times, and hated it, never made it through a whole round. It was not in my collection of games.

Had to have about half a dozen practice rounds to reach this score.

Lonewolf10 · 06 March 2012, 23:41

I struggle badly on the greens. Trying to judge how much of an effect the arrows have (indicating gradients) is a nightmare. I'm no golfer either. I think this is a cool game if you are playing for fun, but in a competition like this it's pure evil - you can be doing great one minute, but mistime your swing and you can hook it in the wrong direction

+13

Lonewolf10

Lonewolf - Yes, my feelings exactly. For me I find it hard to consentrate if I do the swing but miss the ball. If I get a water drop-shot I can sometimes come back and do ok, but missing the ball 'Swoosh!' is just a pain in the butt. The greens? The greens often turn into a pinball game!: - boing, boing, boing, triple bogey!

Do ya wanna play golf? - NO!!!
Do ya wanna plaay, golf? -ARG!
Do ya wanna play go-olf? -

Do ya wanna play? -

Graham Humphrey · 11 March 2012, 13:43

A week in and only four EAB players so far. Not a great turnout and interest on EAB generally seems to be lower than I can ever remember. Hopefully a few more people dust off their joysticks for this one in the next couple of weeks

Harry · 11 March 2012, 17:59

-25

Nothing special on LV.
A hole-in-one on SW 11, Eagles on 14 and 17.

capehorn · 12 March 2012, 22:51

Par and -2

BTW You have Lonewolf -13 on the scoreboard, I think you mean +13

Graham Humphrey · 12 March 2012, 23:29

It says 13, not -13

capehorn · 12 March 2012, 23:45

Fair enough, although I think you would usually expect to see a plus next to a positive golf score. That's my excuse at least.

Lonewolf10 · 13 March 2012, 00:08

It is a little confusing at first glance, but if you look at the others with negative scores it becomes clearer. I plan on trying to improve my score over the next few days. Wish me luck (I'll need it!).

Regards,
Lonewolf10

Yes. In the normal rounds you may join at any time.
Only the Knockout rounds in december/january are restricted.
