ok the golf game easypar

looks like fun

i have signed up to play in the american nationwide tour next weekend the tee off times are much more acceptable to me
and there is less players signed up for it so easier to make the cut

i noticed booder is signed up for the british master

are you crazy?

if it sells out you are likely not to get a round due to your low exemption rating and unlikely to get anywhere near the cut

from my understanding you can play the smaller events on either side of the pond then when you have got a decent player and caddie etc etc

you can then enter the bigger events

who else is in?

I'm in as bongo.

Think I might switch to the US event this week (currently 112 in the BA CA Golf Open list) to ensure I get and game and have some banter with Iron.

I registered yesterday but have not yet recieved confirmation...

I think the bloke validates each by hand so could take a while at weekends!

I thought it might be coz I wasn't wearing socks...

im in the nationwide tour now , just so i can kick Ironsides arse

Application sent

awaiting confirmation email.

ditto

Just got confirmation email but haven't had chance to log in yet

Can someone explain what the game is, is it fantasy league stuff, simulations or wha?

Would be interested to play if i knew what it is!

It might help if there was link I guess.

You have a golfer and you train up his skills, choose equipment and tactics to use in tournaments and watch the results.

I would tell you more but none of us have played a round yet!

Cheers bongo mate,
Signed up anyway, figure it out later,

Think my screenname/playername will be Gareth KP.

If you get in in time sign up for the Louisiana Open - it's where most of the blondes are playing this week.

the idea is you are a player on the golf curcuit

you train the player up

you buy equipment hire a caddie pay for travel and hotels and then play in golf events

you earn prize money by making the cut and earn exemptions by placing well on the tour or winning events

etc etc

and you continue to train your player up

I'm in as Monkey Matt III - looks like we're all playing Louisiana this week :D

now does anyone have any idea what to do?

I'll have a look at this as well.

matt you can train your player 3 times every 6 days (any more you risk injury)
you can train once every 23 hours
try to balance your training and not become expert in 1 thing
you can buy buy new clubs i hear the standard aint that great

the final list for who is in which comp is printed after the US tour game finished tonight

you can then set out your tactics for toru event book your travel and any practise rounds

ok blondes in for the louisiana open

that i can see are

Ironside
bongo
booder
monkey matt
wardonkey
nakor

if your in add your name

btw i think there is only a few more hours to register for this comp

I'm in too now

think im in

I can't see how to register for a game so I guess I missed the deadline.

Yogi

I think you have to register by sunday night, so you probably won't get a game this week :(

I'm in

reg'd for Louisiana as Bazza

Now I just need to find a spare hour to figure out what I'm doing lol

I appear to be in the Verizon Heritage,

Along with a few names that may be from Blonde.


Gareth KP, Tractor, TheBigO.

Yogi

that will be a tough comp but hte rewards will be better if you make the cut

good luck

It wasn't thru choice Ironside.

Yogi

no worries yogi

i did notice last night that there was only about 80 in both american comps

so you might be able to make the cut

I'm in, but I'm on the European Tour and I'm injuired already.

how many training sessions did you have? your only meant to have 3 in 6 days

dont forget to sort out your travel and your practise rounds etc etc

and the most importnat thing your tatics

you can either set up each hole seperate or an overall tatic for the round

yes, well, it was only putting! (four)

Any idea when the travel gets finalised?

not sure

i set mine now and it gives me 3 practise rounds in *** hotel (its not a swear word)

i might be in trouble though i think i need a top 5 finish to break even

diva every thing i have read and heard its best not to concentrate on putting or driving but to spread training over all aspects and to keep the player balanced

i was going to try and get a top quailty putter first as thats where half the shots are made and the most important shots afterall a 5ft putt is worth the same as a 300 yard drive

His first 3 sessions may have been in other areas!

course they were, mid-irons, short-irons and short-game. Just got a little greedy with the putting  ::)

sorry i misstook that for 4 putting sessions

Assuming your man can drive 300 yards :D

and assuming he can hold a 5ft putt

From what I've sort of speed read, you can change your tactics throughout the round.

SO long as you are done before the tee shot of the hole you are changing.

Sounds good.

Wish I could change tactics on Battrick occassionally.

Yogi

ive just signed up, how quickly does the confirmation email arrive?

Not very...

I think they're all approved by hand by the guy who runs it, so it varies.

mid afternoon the day after you sign up

one guy does it by hand aswell as run the game and devolp it on his own

from what i can gather

cheers Iron

Don't suppose you know his address so i can bribe send him a jungle greeting?

Just got my validation e-mail.
I seem to be entered to play the British Masters this week!
Anyone know how i can change which tournament i play in?

I think it's too late to change now.

Am I right in saying there's not that much to be getting on with?  I entered my tourney, put myself on the driving range yesterday and I can't see much else to do at the moment.  I may invest in some new clubs but I want to see how I get on first.

You can set your tactics for the tournament and play some practice rounds at some point, no idea when though!

I set my stay to 5 days so I get one practice round apparently.  I'm just playing safe for the whole tourney for now as I don't know how I'm going to be playing.

I've joined the revolution... be interesting to see how things progress in next weeks tournies.. as long as they let me in..

Damn, I'm in debt in Easypar.  I've been training with the golf pro - is that the $5k one?   The $5k one anyway, but I'm crap at golf so I'm not winning anything :(

What level are you practicing at?

I use the free one, the driving range.

From what I've read it makes very little difference at the lower levels to use a higher one.

oh well, that's where all ma cash has gone :D

I'm only allowed one practice round now, the bank won't let me stay any longer. 
Still, good enough for John Daly, good enough for me!

i started hihg and i've moved down to the range

i didnt notice much difference in progress due to different types of training

anyone with easypar pro want a $10 a hole game tonight?

You're probably the one with easypar pro aren't you? 

Does the service improve with Pro?

nope have to log in and out every couple of mins

but it keeps a record of everything for you

few slight extra deathures like being able to bet with EP money with friends

but its same game on same server etc etc

but they aint going to be able to improve mush unless people pay a couple of $s here and there

i think the game could be great with a little work

mind you i am still shooting crap week in week out dispite all the work on and off the course

oh one thing it tells you is how you are ranked per skill level with everyone else playing in the same comp as you

unfourtunately i booked into canada early hopeing to get a place

then by the time i noticed a 3rd comp added to the list it was alreasy over full
so i sneaked into canada against the big boys


Skill Area Skill Level EP Rank Tnm Rank
Driving outstanding 457 107
Irons formidable 403 106
Short Game outstanding 385 104
Putting outstanding 432 112
Fitness outstanding 313 89



first number is where i rank in the ep world for each skill the 2nd is where i rank in this event


the odds on me making the cut are about 750-1

i can also see who is on the range and what they are practising

someone is splashing the boat out

Gordonil is on the range with the local PGA professional practicing short irons.

What level skills is everyone at?  Mine are

Driving   outstanding      9
Long Irons   brilliant      10
Mid Irons   excellent      7
Short Irons   solid      6
Short Game   outstanding      9
Putting   magnificent      11
Fitness   solid      6

I keep forgetting to practice and usually only do 2 a week instead of 3 I think

i heard it was best to keep all the levels the same so i am training them all to same level

no idea what ever one else is at but there are only a handfull of cat 99 players in it

when i checked on saturday night i was 109 on the list and the first 99 player was 108

i didnt think i would get a game

No.

Although something similar might be in the works...

Hence the question!

Playing skins was fun.
