Hey I was just curious about people and the choice off difficulty they play on and why they choose it? I played the demo a load and quickly skipped all the lower difficulties because driving it straight was way too easy. I ended up playing on simulation after a hour or two and have only played it since. Finishing under par is a lot more satisfying and the wind actually proves a challenge to compete with. I think more people should give the harder difficulties (just do st andrews or a wide fairway course) a go, you can't lose anything by having a go and it does actually replicate golf at the fact if you mess up your swing you'll pay for the mistake.
anytime i get a new game, I start at the lowest level and build up as the seasons progress, if it seems too easy in the beginning then I go to the next level after the previous tournament is done. I do this on all sports games.
