Scheduled Maintenance on Thursday, May 8
Heads up! We are performing server maintenance on Thursday, May 8, between the hours of 2:00am and 6:00am EDT (6:00am - 10:00am GMT). The site will be unavailable for approximately 2-4 hours. We apologize for any inconvenience, and will try our best to keep the disruption at a minimum.

By maintenance, do you mean that # 6 will not be Mission Impossible anymore ? (I feel a bit of a rant coming on). I’m a faithful time-waster with the odd sub-100 round, but nowadays I only go for average, which is currently c. 175 as that dang blast it # 6 is either a 35 (on the fringe - too long) 85 (in the water - anywhere but perfect) or 68 (too much - left). Don’t read too much into this though, as it may just be my p.c., which I bought second-hand from a very relaiable chap called Noah just after he’d finished calling the animals in two-by-two. Keep up the good work guys. How about having courses 1 and 2 running simultaneously or some such added entertainment ?

Hi Blackbeard,
The maintenance will be on the server only, so nothing will change in the product. Our major product changes are coming in the summer, so be on the lookout for that. Thanks!

I think I’ve managed to hit the right spot on 6 all of twice now and still the ball won’t stop. I think 17 or 18 feet is the best I’ve been able to do. -Rod-

closest i gotten was using 1 club short, max power, and hitting left of best shot, maybe 2mm?
it hits fringe and rolls over hill and down
i got that shot maybe 4-5 times total out of 400?:) always inside 15ft

The trick to #6 is…..SWITCH TO PRO CLUBS!
If you’re just starting to play this game, use beginner clubs for 2 weeks tops, then switch to Pro Clubs.
If you’ve played hole #6 400 times already with Beginner clubs, you’re way overdue to switch. Trust me, you can’t get any decent scores with beginner clubs on this course, and small amount of time you invest in getting used to the faster speed will be worth it within a week, as you will get scores much lower than you ever would have gotten otherwise.

ya i hear you bud, but i like the easy clubs. i been playing the game for while maybe 6 month now and i enjoy it with easy clubs
my closest score now 17ft on all 9 total with 2 holes being at 6ft each, rest like inside 1ft so it’s possible;)
also i have 2 eagles, hole 2 and 5, and 1 and 3 inside 1ft

Tibbetts,
I notice you’re not setting any records lately
Fact is, some of us aren’t exactly PGA Tour material. Our reactions are more like the Champions Tour…

Hey Guys,
If Tibbets speaks I would listen. I consider him the WGT God. No matter who shoots lowest in the end, he is by far the most consistent low shooter.
Pro clubs will make your WGT experience more enjoyable I believe.
Good luck.
Alex, hope you guys leave the closest to the pin after your summer release, it would be great to have the option.

Hi caven, you will still be able to play the skill challenge after the release.
