I'm average at best. I can make a few birdies but every round I'll make a triple-bogey or a double-bogey or two. But, I love the challenge. I'm not finding anything unfair. It's just a matter of practicing and getting a feel for different types of shots. I just LOVE what they've done with the short game. It's really challenging and forces you to put a little thought and creativity into they types of shots you attempt. There's nothing really gimicky about the game, which for me (a long-time fan of the Links series on the PC and someone who plays golf in real life) is very important. It's not perfect, by any means, but it's getting more realistic with every release. It still has a ways to go to get to the level where Links was but they're clearly going in the right direction here.
