You'll get to like it once you have enough Impact.
Or; if you hate it that much try selling it for 1.7M sobs in the square. Don't take less than 1.3M NG for it though. Then you will have some NG to buy a range of clubs when yo hit level 27. The buff divers and woods and the level 27 irons all of which seem to be rated.
Then also swap your level 21 wedges for the level 27 wedges as well, but keep the level 21 SW.

I think I've menaged to get it to "swoop" twice which looks great, but more often than not, I shank it into the rough and have to use my skillzzz with the irons. Which doesn't take me long, natch

The swoop comes with strong tail winds, which can be horrible if you are trying to clear trees.

Ah, and here's me thinking it was to do with me hitting the driver on the button. FFS! Will I ever get the hang of this?

Aye, but you'd have to be some kind of clueless monkey to break a glofclub out on the course. :moop:

You still do get some swoop hitting it correctly Moo, I was thinking of particularly low swoop that comes with strong tail winds. PS. I didn't actually modify Moo's post, I clicked modify instead of quote.

I accidentally added my comment to his post and didn't realise until I had clicked the modify post button and then couldn't find my new post. :checkit: I then had to re modify it to remove my own comment. It puts a whole new spin on toast crumbs. :checkit:

Woo! Shame my +19 on Forneus last night doesn't count :cab:

Aye good game that until my power cut. You were really getting into the swing on the back nine.
I like Forneus, it's tough but playable if you play it safe.
You had a couple of tough holes though where you had to hit for islands or lay up and you handled them well enough.
I'll set up a Leader Board thread once the scorecards start trickling in.
And Stu come on have a go man.
I think the combination of Elth and Pyramids must have left him stunned or something..

First round - +3 on Midas. Solid round - was -1 at the turn, but bogeyed the 10th, 11th and 12th. Played some nice shots, but generally putted like a cunt and overhit some chips woefully. Can do better...

I did Wattsu in +12, in a round with Moo. He got +18. We were pretty shocking, it has to be said. Definite room for improvement...

My round of +5 on Forneus was shocking I hit 6 birdies but couldn't get a par to save my life. My putting was dire and I had 6 bogeys and 2 double bogeys. I can definitely do better here.
My -5 on Midas Valley can be improved on too, it included 2 eagles and a Hole in One giving 3 eagles overall, but my last four holes killed me, I lost concentration, again poor putting destroyed the good work, I should have had -11. Still early days and ggod work guys, keep the cards coming.

OK, I've played each course at least once, most of them twice. My scores are currently: Course (tournament handicap) : Score (adjusted score) Midas (+7) : -2 (+5) Wattsu (0) : +8 (+8) Rufus (-14) : +9 (-5) Hela (-2) : +15 (+13) Forneus (-2) : +17 (+15) ------------------------------ Total (-11) : +47 (+36) There's some work to be done here. I was very happy with the 81 on Rufus, a course I'd always struggled with before today. Most shots were played very well, and I very much doubt I'll beat this. On the other hand, both Hela and Forneus have given me real problems and there's real room for improvement here. On Midas I played a very nice round of 70 earlier, and I reckon I might be able to sneak a couple of shots off that here and there over the next couple of weeks. On the remaining course, Wattsu, I haven't really put together a decent round yet, and I reckon I could get round in about 75 or so. Coffers lent me some very nice irons he picked up the other day, and they're really very nice indeed. A slow swing bar, +2 to all attributes, and I very rarely play a bad iron shot now. They're a little expensive to run, though, and I've been losing money with each round I'm playing in the tourney. Maybe I should raise some funds with a few 4-player goes around Rufus... I must say I'm enjoying the game so far - I haven't played GLoF for a long while, but I'm very quickly getting back into it. Cheers for arranging the tourney, Coffers - I was up until 3.40am last night playing, you bastard

Popped in a 79 on Wattsu (hmm, hmm) and a 78 (!) on Hela.
Only Rufus to go now and then I can work out lowering those really high scores, especially Forneus...
