“When I look back on it, the mini-golf was probably the incentive I needed to go the extra mile,” he said. “To hit the sweet spot and go over the little ramp and into the clown’s mouth—perhaps that was where I first developed my keen perception of the unity of mind, theory and kinetic experience.”

Greg’s successes in tournament play, match games, and on the digital practice range have convinced him that golf on a “real” golf course cannot be that difficult.

“I’ve won several simulated tournaments at Pebble Beach, Augusta, and many of the other challenging world-class greens,” he said, “so I’m already familiar with the courses and all the little tricks and hazards you need to know about them. Those programmers have done a great job in providing all the information a “real” golfer will ever need to know. Of course, the video game doesn’t have Sunset Park, the local executive course I’ll be playing at, but it’s not going to be more difficult than, say, Nairn Dunbar in Scotland is it?”

"I can't see real golf being that different than Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® 2007," said Greg. "After all, golf is just a game, right? I mean, how hard can it be to hit—instead of click--a little white ball into a little round hole? Didn't Corey Lidle learn to fly using Microsoft Flight Simulator?"
