Slash and I played a round yesterday... Tour Pro... was a good game, back and forth the front 9 then the back 9 he walked away beating me by 7 or 8 strokes.

I have played in 2 or 3 daily tournaments, did the full 4 rounds against the pros yesterday... good games but I SUCK... and it really ruins it... the leader boards are -24 and stuff like that, with scores like that tournament means nothing to an average gamer... so decided what to play... tried that challenge relive thing, not happy with that mode either...

what I want is for us, SimHQ, to be able to host a tournament for friends only, then people on the friends list can play the round then submit their scorecard, and the leaderboard is all just friends... thats what I want in TW Golf. (or too play them together and submit the tourney card.)

I like your idea for the tournament, Magnum.

The other thing I'd like EA to do is allow the player to set up his/her own tournament schedule and choose the courses for each event. I want to be able to decide where to play my Major tournaments. For instance, in TW09 the first Major of the season was played at Wolf Creek. Just an awful joke of a course. The only thing missing is the windmill and the clown's mouth. No way in hell a PGA Major would ever be played on a ridiculous course like that. I could see a Stableford event being played there but NEVER a major.

I just finished the Live Tournament at Turnberry (British Open). My attributes were capped at 7.0 across the board. It made it very difficult to score and I finished +5 for the tournament. Sunday the crosswinds were as high as 17 mph. How do other human players drive the ball over 400 yards with their attributes capped on tour pro settings? My best drive with the wind at my back hitting to a downhill fairway was just over 300 yards.

It's a fair question sSnakeyes. I have no idea how other players do it.

Personally, I think capping the attributes at 7 is ridiculous. On one hole I played in an earlier tournament there was a forced carry over water from the tee. You couldn't reach the fairway without putting the ball in the water so I had to lay up and hit a shot to the LADY'S TEE!! That really turned me off for playing those events. They need to raise the cap on the attributes to 8 or 9 otherwise there are shots you simply can't hit that any average real-life Tour player can make.

It's good to hear that it's not only me Leemz. I like the concept of the tournaments, but if I can't compete it isn't much fun.
