With the latest upgrades to this once enjoyable game? Well I don't like playing with cheats. And when you can't complete a race with Recommended PR you are being cheated.

How you compare golf with this rigged game I have no idea.

Besides, by chosing a deceiving name for this event, it feels like FM are making fun of us and I don't like it.

Oliver Have you ever played golf, Oliver?

I have. And while it is a game that is played for enjoyment, it requires an incredible investment in time and work to get good enough to where you can move past the frustrations and be adept enough at it for it to be enjoyable.

The only way to improve skills are to practice and practice is work. There is no way around it. And the Par system is what other than a Recommended PR for each hole on the course and the course as a whole based on what the perceived "average" scratch golfer should shoot for a whole?

Think about what it really means to be a scratch golfer?

The scratch players here are probably people like me, (barely) who can struggle to complete an event at the recommended PR. We are the equivalent to the guys at the country club who come in in the top 10 of club events, but would be left behind in most amateur tournaments.

Speed Junkie and ME7 are the equivalent of Touring Pros.

Handicaps are Upgrades over the recommended PR and driving assists so that duffers can compete with SJ, ME7, and the scratch players.

There are some players who will not shoot a handicap adjusted par if they are getting 2 strokes a hole. Those are the people who fully upgrade and still have to skip goals in an Event.

How about the slope rating of a course? Do you think most players should feel cheated if their slope adjusted handicapped score on Bethpage Black ends up being 30 strokes over par or should they feel lucky that they didn't need to have a search party sent out to find them?

If I shoot over par am I being cheated?

See how similar this game actually is?
