The new Pro Tournaments available online in this year’s edition of the game have introduced some new hardcore settings to which some players (including myself) are becoming addicted. I’m currently in the middle of a tournament series hosted by bjlevine in which players must incorporate realistic settings like no putt meter, and I’ve quickly had to learn a lot about putting without a meter to even be competitive with some of the crazy scores that players are already throwing down! In this article, I’d like to discuss two strategies I’ve come up with for putting without a meter. Continue Reading »
Here’s my newest video, which is a match between Soonersguy06 and myself. He put out a challenge to play me on the EA Forums, and I was happy to oblige. I let him pick the settings, and he picked some doozies! I’m not used to playing in the rain with gale force winds, and so it was definitely a challenge! It was a good game, and I enjoyed it. Soonersguy06 played well, and I want to say thanks to him for allowing me to post the video. This is also my first video with real-time commentary, so you’ll have to let me know what you think about that as well. Enjoy! Continue Reading »
There’s been some chatter on the forums that some players would be interested in seeing more videos of my gameplay to get a sense of my play style, my club setup, and club tuning. Well, here you go! Recently, I’ve been on a little personal quest to see how low I can go. What is the lowest score I could possibly shoot? So far, a -29 is it. You’ll see in the following videos that I actually had a huge potential to go much lower, potentially to a -32, but I made some critical mistakes along the way. I’ll keep practicing and will post more videos as I get better scores, but for now you can check out my -29 at Doral below.
Here is a video tutorial I made to demonstrate the basics of making approach shots, as well as determining the speed for both uphill and downhill putts. If you have questions about the video, feel free to post them in the comments section below. Also, if you would like me to make up a video demontrating some other aspect of the game, I am open to suggestions! Enjoy!
This is a super quick tip that’s easy to implement, but you may find it saving you strokes! When you are lining up your putt, make sure you move your distance marker to the actual percentage point you are attempting to hit. In other words, say you line up for a 25% putt, but after putt preview, you notice you have to add a few power percentage points to make it up the hill. Well, instead of planning to just hit your power meter at a little above the 25% mark, actually move your distance marker up to your desired percentage. Why? Continue Reading »
