They are lucky this game is addictive because it is also very annoying. I can never get the meter down because it never goes the same speed or the meter will keep going after I touch the screen and I slice way right. I'm level 99 now and if I play someone that is a much lower level I know there is about a 95% chance I will lose. A lot of times even when I manage to hit the ball straight, it will still end up way off from where I aimed. It's definitely a love/hate game.

It takes some time to figure out intricacies and become good (golf is supposed to be hard). Stick with it, great game. Been playing this 10 years and still love it. It's true that if you don't upgrade your clubs you'll eventually get your butt kicked, but I'll say all you need is a long distance driver (I spent $20 on one, the rest of my clubs are starter clubs and that's all I need to almost always compete with the best). There's ways to take surveys or watch videos for upgrade credits also.

The good is it has lots of options and courses. Good graphics and fairly easy to learn. The negatives are it is game based not life like so there's that. You are guaranteed to have some type of glitch or some shot that doesn't make sense go astray if you start doing to good for what your level or equipment is that's the game mechanics and not real golf simulation I speak of. So fun to play just remember it will do you dirty though if you start doing to good.
