i've been playing this for a few weeks....its alot of fun!

**big mac** · 01-18-2008 02:27 PM

Thanks guys----I am bored out of my mind

**Skiddlydidly** · 01-18-2008 03:02 PM

This is great!

**Kilroy** · 01-18-2008 03:12 PM

Weird swing method. May take some getting used to

**Gropper** · 01-18-2008 03:17 PM

LOL yes Dan very complicated!

**Kilroy** · 01-18-2008 03:19 PM

Not complicated... it just feels unnatural. I want to pull the mouse for my backswing, and push my forward swing, not click.. Way too much Links LS in the past. The mouse swing in LS 2003 really was the best.

I wish I would have known about this 5 weeks ago!!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you

"Next new thing or killer app..."

That site has got to be at least a year old. I was addicted to it for a while but eventually got bored of playing the same holes.

having just opened the site for the first time in as long as I can remember, I see my global standing has plummeted from in the low hundreds to 13,000

Guess I will have to start playing again

edit... actually my best score does not seem to be there anymore. Guess this is on the new holes.

something for you to do once the little one comes along!

**big mac** · 01-18-2008 11:07 PM

Hey guys---how come I got a big "virus warning notification" ??????

**Gropper** · 01-18-2008 11:11 PM

weird.... i didn;t did it say it was a virus or that it might be?

**sillywilly** · 01-19-2008 02:36 AM

glad you boys are enjoying. Hope you can scratch that itch. I for one will hold out until I go on a golf trip

Hi Chris--I'm running AVG--it detected a virus both times so I put it in the vault--Diane dumped it this morning but it did register on the scan as I watched it for about 15 minutes.

We had a virus or something befor Xmas and had to have the computer cleaned and it was of course 200.00---an upgrade as well.

The "doctor" said you can pick up stuff all over the place so I have abstained from "being curious", so I have stayed only where you think everything is safe-----but to my amazement when the scan was working it showed every single site that was affiliated with our computer----there were over 100,000 and believe me I don't spend that much time on the computer

Every time we shut down, cookies and history are cleared---it just goes to show how much trouble you can get in if your not careful----maybe you guys have a better firewall etc etc. We are not that computer literate so best not to take chances----besides if I screwed up again Diane said I would not be golf this year

**caddishack** · 01-19-2008 10:30 AM

I can't see a link for the game in here can you post it?

**big mac** · 01-19-2008 11:07 AM

It's hidden in one of the various "fortune 500" thingamies but I am pretty sure I found it by clicking on the tv screen.

there ya go

**Gofish2** · 01-19-2008 11:12 PM

Got written up yesterday on CNN.com

This looks like it is going to be a big venture so I don't think anyone should worry much about a virus. Will be great when they add more courses.

**dhacker1956** · 01-20-2008 12:30 PM

Won't let me sign up!! Keeps telling me to contact pga tour people?

**Kilroy** · 01-20-2008 01:29 PM

I signed up easily enough. Indeed..."What gives"?

**Bullet** · 01-20-2008 02:38 PM

same here tried last night or very early this morning, it tells me to contact PGA people

**big mac** · 01-20-2008 06:12 PM

The virus notification came via one of the Fortune 500 links---got on no problem with actual website

**big mac** · 01-20-2008 06:13 PM

What for, to hold up the 'quiet' sign?

**Bullet** · 01-21-2008 03:57 AM

Hmmm even to hold the quiet sign....I could make myself available! LOL God knows I need a holiday

**kerisb** · 01-21-2008 01:35 PM

Sorry guys I've also had this in my favourites for over a year or so now.........guess I should have shared it!!!!!

Don't worry big mac there are no viruses by going directly to the site, I haven't had any problems with it!!! Enjoy everyone, hopefully before we know it we will be outside swinging the real clubs in the sunshine and green grass again.....oh darn I must still be sleeping, seems I am dreaming again

!!

**kerisb** · 01-27-2008 02:58 AM
