WWAW playing golf?

Bumping this thread. You get out there yet? My league is about to start.

Bob does sports is funny and different than watching instructional bullshit.
I've gone a few times. First time sucked ass because it had been really dry out and the greens were all freshly mowed so they played impossibly fast. Have played alright the other times but I hate the muni I go to regularly.

I live in a city that has about as small of a D1 university as it gets but they have decent men's/women's golf teams. The muni is also the university's home course and the pro is the women's team head coach but he sucks at being a pro and I don't think the course even has a superintendent.

The course itself is a fucking disaster and there is absolutely zero etiquette. The greens and tee boxes are always trashed because they let huge groups of college faggots play together, they don't make singles group up when it's busy, and they don't do tee times at all. People constantly play into you and skip around to different holes. It just fucking sucks and makes no sense why they can't get their shit together. The area I live in consists of two cities with a few hundred thousand people. All the white people live in the smaller city where the university is and the adjoining city is a nigger infested shithole but somehow nigville's three munis are all nicer than our one muni by a huge margin.

Only thing good about the muni where I live is that it does have good practice facilities. Off to the side of the driving range is a second practice green with a trap and you can either play from the trap to the green or hit out of the trap onto the range which I've heard is pretty rare. They also have a ton of free training aids/equipment they let people use and a nine hole par 3 course. I usually hit the range up at least once a week

They must not charge a lot if those types of players go there.

If you flip the controller upside down and swing by just flicking it downward you can really dial in your power. It will absolutely piss off everyone else once you get the hang of it and start smashing them.

lol no shit? really? that would be amazing if I can get it to work, will have to google such and read up on it - anything to get a hand up on my father who thinks he is Jack Nicklaus when playing that damn game.

It's really easy. I figured it out on my own while playing in a small room where we couldn't really swing properly. All the aiming is done with the dpad so it doesn't matter how you swing as long as the beam from the controller passes over the IR sensor. The only things that effect the path of the ball are wind and hitting too hard, otherwise it doesn't matter.

Oh...You were finished?? Well allow me to retort...
Post your contact info so we can sue you for libel.
Oh, what? You can’t do that? Why not? I’m sure you have ample proof to back your ridiculously malicious and false accusations of misogyny, alleged acts of racism, legal charges of pedophilia, and the rest of your bullshit buzz-words that are used by millennials like you, who with no conscience whatsoever throw around those once very powerful words for the sole purpose of gaining the upper hand and public support of your constituents whenever you get involved in an altercation. Problem is, most people have a hard time believing anonymous users on a site known for using these tactics in an attempt to damage reputations and interfere with ones right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (sound vaguely familiar?)
The core purpose your forum is driven by envy, jealousy, failure, having no sense of purpose in your life and the desire to be prominent amongst of your equally dysfunctional pals on your ever diminishing platform. They’ve now become the magically shrinking Kiwi Farms. Good move not using an kf related name.
You’re now constantly being attrited and for good and wholesome reasons...Good will always triumph over evil.
Read on:
What this poster hasn’t mentioned is that every last DMCA that has been filed by myself, either on my own or with legal authorization by others who wish they had the time and energy to do so, are completely and totally legitimate and legal. There’s nothing false or illegal about the DMCA’s that I’ve filed. All Photos and videos on the internet were taken by someone, therefore someone owns the copyright to every last one of those photos and videos. I’m thorough in my filing. The sub just has too many ignorant members that don’t listen to the more logical moderators, and refrain from posting photos and videos that are reportable. They’re blinded by their desire to have their 15 mins and more importantly by their very real and palpable hatred.
Reddit has too much to lose and will never take the stance of a “Kiwi Farms” type of forum that a few sociopathic individuals run in their Moms house. They’re doing the only thing they can, taking infringing content down. If and when Reddit Legal receives enough of those legitimate DMCA’s they shut down the sub. It’s really that simple. So for Johnny Cakes, Frunkass, and the other dozen or so sociopaths on that sub who suck all the fun out of what a subreddit is supposed to be... and fantasize about a lawsuit against me.... I have one word... SUBPOENA. Stop already.
I’ve filed 100’s of legitimate DMCA’s over the past several months, admittedly with the sole intention of having Opie and Anthony related subs banned. They’ve dedicated themselves to libel, harassment, and outright real-life bullying on and off the sub. Not just name calling and ridicule. I could care less about that. Their anonymity is what empowers them to post libelous and defamatory content. If not for that anonymity, which I believe is the reason for them not filing a single counter claim, they would find themselves in civil court facing a large number of defamation and libel suits by many of their “victims”.
There’s a reoccurring pattern of them using my intellectual property as Illustrations to accompany their ridiculous accusations of projected (typically) pedophilia, misogyny, anti-Semitism, Homosexuality etc... toward my family, friends and myself. They’re in the habit of using other individuals Intellectual property to drive home their abysmal message of hatred and libel.
So Again, there’s been nothing illegal about any of the DMCA’s I’ve filed. For me to do so would be a dire mistake on my part. I’m achieving the desired results playing by the rules. Why jeopardize that? REMINDER: This sub has gone so far as to brigade and bully my employers to the point of them letting me go from a few of my jobs, all in the name of “having fun picking on old guys”. That’s the only reason they’ve ever given for their atrocious behavior. This sub brigades to the point of bullying venues, agencies and other people in the entertainment industry into avoiding me, by utilizing dozens of anonymous emails and phone calls...many using the names of past Opie and Anthony guests, show members and friends to further try to get my attention and aggravate.
This particular sub consisting mainly of envious millennials loves to reiterate the fact that I’m 60 and for the most part retired (according to the sub”70 and near death”) and that I have a stream of income due to business dealings with my brother. They like to call it “welfare”, and are constantly mocking the fact that I have income that’s not worked for. They like to call me a leech. Why they do this is beyond me. In addition to the fact that they think I’m a bum, they put a large amount of effort into taking my work (which they call a hobby) away from me and my band members.
It became personal for me when the sub (and it’s 7 or so now banned predecessors) started harassing and bullying my 11 year old daughter, my deceased Mother, My innocent Sister, and my longtime GF, all for the purpose of trying to rile me up and get a reaction out of me to use as fodder for the sub. Interfering with my every day real-life has become a game of sorts for them, supposedly it was brought upon by a comment I made some years back. “You have no effect on my life”.... meaning that an internet forum that shit-talks people...especially people with any amount of notoriety, has the absolute right to do so, but in reality..does nothing to affect my bottom line $ or my real world reputation.
I support 1A, I defended that right, amongst others. by serving in the Army for 3yrs. (another fact that this particular subreddit seems to love mocking) People have the right to say what they want. When it became a “challenge” for the sub to get my attention, they took it to the next level. That’s where the line between 1A right and libelous accusations that damage ones reputation, employability and the right to live a life undeterred by malicious internet trolls was crossed. All for the sake of getting someone’s attention and having “fun” hurting a “boomer”.
My Reddit post karma alone is clear evidence of brigading. The downvoting that this comment alone will incur by the brigading, bee hive mentality of the O&A related sub shows that there’s collusion amongst the members of this subreddit and its moderators to do real life damage to certain people they see as “less than human”. Phone calls to my business and texts to my business number calling for my untimely death, taunting, horrific allegations...All of that means ZERO to me. Commentary about me and my brother written and posted on the sub, means nothing to anyone but the sub.
When my family became the focus of the Opie and Anthony leftover psychopaths, it Became a problem that needed to be dealt with.
I liken what I’ve been FORCED to do (DMCA’s) with something that I was always intrigued with:
When Chicago mobster and really really bad guy, Al Capone (aka The Sub), was on a rampage against his enemies in the 20-30’s (Innocent Family and Friends) the Feds couldn’t imprison him for murder (aka- the subs libelous and malicious harassment and real life bullying, job interference, Doxxing my 11 year old daughters info). They did finally find a way to make his empire (aka- Opie and Anthony subreddit) crumble though fervently prosecuting him for the the less serious crime (but serious enough to get the job done) of tax evasion (aka-Copyright Infringement). They went another way entirely to get the desired results for the purpose of removing an evil, evil man from civilized society.
I (we) will continue to report this evil sub and file legitimate and legal DMCA’s at every turn until it’s gone.
Stop interfering with people’s real lives and livelihoods, and we’ll leave your stupid sub alone. Plain and simple.

thats really interesting. what about the slices and hooks? does that have any bearing on your shot ? I watched a few videos on such earlier and some guy was showing off a glitch he called a double shot and everything he mentioned aligns with what you are saying about the d-pad and the 4 dots on the minimap controlling direction. im going to try all these things next time I get that game out.

Have you ever been able to get a hole in one yet?

really wish they would have made a full game with that golf engine instead of just using it as a tech demo. I bought the tigerwoods for wii hoping it would have a motion control option but its nothing like wii sports.

I'm almost positive it doesn't. It seems to only slice or hook if you exceed the power gauge and it goes into the red then its just a coin toss to determine which way it goes. I invert the controller and point it right at the tv then wave it more or less straight up and down but I don't really care if I'm a little sloppy with how I wave it. I just practice swing until I'm hitting the part of the meter I want then go for it. Never seen it do anything stupid at 0 wind.

Have you ever been able to get a hole in one yet?
Yeah, not too often but once you know how to dial in your power it gets easier.

I get lots of chip-in birdies right off the flag, though. You hit that flag and the ball loses all forward momentum and drops right into the cup. I don't know if that's intentional or a bug but I've never seen the ball careen off the flag and go anywhere - just a dead drop into the cup. Try to pull up short of the green and chip into the flag - better odds than putting in my experience.

Prepare for boomer rage, though.

$44 for 18 with a cart. They do a discount before 1 on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday then also a pretty good evening deal after 6 for $21. Six pack of drinks, a cart, and as many holes as you can play before they close at 9. The nice munis in the adjoining city are pretty much the same prices but the shitty one is really close to where I live so it's just convenient to go there.

I'm taking an east coast trip next year, anyone got good courses that a regular person can afford to play in the NYC area? I did a Cali trip a few years ago and got to play some nice ones. Tried for Pebble but no one cancelled and I'm not paying for 3 nights at the hotel to get an actual tee time

It gets pretty intense when we play. Some of my earliest memories of gaming with my father was watching him and his friends bet money on holes of "Jack Nicklaus' Greatest 18 Holes of Major Championship Golf" for NES and him taking a screwdriver to said game after missing the winning putt. If he is in the lead the game is the greatest thing since sliced bread, better than real golf, ect but the moment he starts going over par there starts to be major complaints about the wind, the aiming , unrealistic greens... lol I guess there are worse ways to spend ones time.

He comes over for coffee on mondays so I am going to have the WII sitting out and powered up.

Such is probably pipe dreams but I hear the Nintendo Switch Sports has online gameplay. I dunno abou the tiny lil controllers but it would be interesting if we can get a Owen Aye Forms Golf event going some weekend. Hell we could all put a few dollars up for such and have it donated to a real charity, for all the Jackie/Pat/TrigPoint types who say we don't do any good in the world.

Thanks again for the info/avatar/chats mate. Hope all is as well as it can be there. Thoughts and Prayers.
