Just need 14 more aces and I'll have the 25 aces pin.
Damn I'm stuck at 2 for some reason right now. I'm currently into my Nike Sponsor level 3 right now. I only need to get the hole in one and I'll have all of those completed which will be sweet.
Yeah, a lot of my aces have been complete and total luck. The two I hit yesterday, both of them, I used too much power than what my caddy was recommending, and was a little off center on my swing. Got a kind bounce on the green when the ball finally came back down, and roll straight into the cup, instead of 5-10 feet to the side or front of the cup like my caddy was recommending.
Took me FOREVER to get my first ace. For some reason in 11 and 12 I am not hitting them, but had almost a dozen in 10.
Oh yeah! Just sank ace number 12 on the par 3 5th hole at Costa Navarino. Landed on the green a couple yards short of the pin and slowly rolled it's way into the cup.
Damn! And on hole number 6, a short ass 280 yard par 4 that you have to suck to not be able to reach the green in one, I just came up 5 feet short of a potential back to back ace.
Damnit all!!! Hole 8, another par 3, I just came up 7 inches short of yet another ace.
Edit: Holy crap, apparently Costa Navarino is a harder course that I thought. While I won the tournament with ease (thanks to that ace and my two near aces), out of 128 people in the Mediterranean Open in my game, only 12 of us finished even par or better.

Nowhere near as good as psuexv's pond skipping caddy suggestion, but just some funny ones I've seen today.Prime example at the awesome caddy suggestions... Apparently I'm skipping stones in the water
*pic*
I know they say you should aim for the flag stick, but I didn't know they meant it like that.
And looking at it now rather than earlier on my phone, it doesn't necessarily look like it in the picture from the angle I was looking at the shot from, but the ball trail does in fact have it bouncing off the flag stick and landing on the green at a 90 degree angle from the angle that it comes onto the green from the fairway.
And screw leapfrog, anyone up for a game of leapbunker?
Yeah, the caddy uses only possibility, not probability.
+1
The caddy is just a reference and I tend to alter my swing and or percentages based off his information. When he is completely off the mark I use Custom shot but I hesitate with that at times because of the "factors" in the game.
I actually almost ended up getting that flagstick bounce.
I tried my best to hit 92% while being dead on balls accurate. Ended up straight line center, but hit with 94% power. Still got the high as hell bounce as is seen in the picture, and almost pegged the flagstick just like the line from my caddy showed, only it ended up passing just barely to the side of the flagstick instead of hitting it. I was rather sad, I wanted to see it hit.
Dear god. I think this past 36 hours has been the best ever in my entire history with the Tiger Woods golf series. Since midnight EDT Saturday morning, I have now sunk five aces. I hit two Saturday morning while playing for a couple hours before I had to leave to go do my morning show. Then in the past five hours alone, I have claimed three more aces, to bring my total for Tiger 12 up to 17 aces so far.
The first one this morning came during a very nice little sponsor challenge on Waialae CC where I had to hit GIR for all four Par 3s and finish 1 under. Very first par 3 hole, dropped it about 10 feet short of the hole and it rolled right in. Didn't get a single thing in the Worldwide Classic at Pinehurst No. 2. Second ace came on TPC Scottsdale in the Southwestern Cup on the second Par 3 on the course. Hit a little bit long, thankfully the cup was on a slope and the ball rolled straight back and into the cup. And then at the very beginning of the Georgia State Cup at East Lake GC, the first par 3 on hole 2, my caddy recommended a 92% shot, I hit it 94%, the ball came down just in front of the cup and went straight into the cup off of the bounce, with an assist by the flagstick.
I swear I'm the luckiest son of a bitch when it comes to these par 3s.Every single one of my last six aces that I've hit since the middle of last week, a tiny misdirection on a bounce or a little bit more side to side movement on the green, and I end up not getting a single hole in one. However, I am certainly not complaining. Now instead of being 13 aces away from getting the 25 aces pin (one of only three more pins I need to get the all pins achievement), I only need 8 more aces.
F&@# you you stupid goddamn worthless ass caddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1 and we need this smiley
Got my 2nd ace last night doing a Masters Moment.
I just started to try to master the double eagle and 30 mins later I GOT IT!
I just need the chip in and the Phil one to get all of them mastered.
I tried for over two f'ing hour on that damn double eagle moment. That's the ONLY one that I have left to master. I master that moment and get 8 more holes in one to hit 25, I have every single pin unlocked and I get the pin collector achievement.
I tried Phil's for about 30 mins and gave up for the night....thought I had a good combination of hitting the 3 wood off the sand and rolling it up....came like 6 feet away, but you need 4
I have been trying to unlock all the prototype clubs and I should have that very soon. Need to win Masters with Nike Ball and Clubs. I also need a hole in one yet. Hoping to get that all done in the week of the masters. I'm starting a new season and I have been ranked #1 for 213 weeks LOL (started playing 1 round last season just to get through this part).
Then I have to finish up master moments I have 4 of the 9 done (the easiest ones so far). I do only have 32 of the 44 pins unlocked so that is going to take me a little bit of work to get done to.
Smooth how in the world did you complete the Top 10 Online finish? Maybe I'm missing something somewhere but I get drilled in this area. I have tried twice but haven't even sniffed the top 50 yet in a tourney. How does the ties work for an online tourney?
My problem with prototypes is I started wtih Nike and am going to work backwards.
What are you talking about on online top 10 Snoop? There are pins for playing and winning 10 online games.
(speaking of which we need to whore these some time)
