Waching daily Aug 4 2018

Golf can be an incredibly frustrating sport but making it the top can be hugely rewarding.

Winning one of the four golf majors not only brings with it a and a place in golf history

but also an increasingly large payday.

If you do manage to score the lowest score at 2018's more prestigious events expect a sizeable payoff.

The winners of this year's golf majors are bringing home nearly $8 million between them,

with winnings ranging from $1.89 million for the U.S. PGA Championship and The Open,

all the way up to $2.16 million for the U.S. Open.

But if you want that prize money you're going to have to win it first and that not easy to do.

Of the top ten multiple major winners in history only Tiger Woods is still active in the men's game

with his main period of dominance coming in the late 1990s and 2000's.

Since Tiger Woods won his 14th major title at the 2008 U.S. Open

there have been 30 different winners of 40 possible tournaments.

And it seems golfing greatness is getting younger.

Let's take a look at the top 10 finishes on the PGA Tour for the year 2017.

All of the top four names were in their 20s with 24-year-old Jordan Spieth leading the way.

The quartet also managed a total of 10 wins on tour during the year.

And the next generation of players, they're fantastic golfers

and they played differently and they're playing aggressively.

Does that mean then that players are feeling under more pressure

to win tournaments early in their career for fear of not winning at all?

I think it does, you know what you need to do but when you were maybe starting out in your 20s you just play it.

So if the stats show that golf is becoming more of a young person's game at the very top level,

are the figures being replicated by those coming to watch it?

You've got role models and heroes like Tommy Fleetwood, to Rickie Fowler.

I think these are role models that do attract young people

and you see the excitement of the youngsters running around.

The ways in which people are consuming golf also appears to be changing.

Around 11 million people in Great Britain got involved in some golfing 2017,

that included everything from playing a full 18 holes to golf simulators and even computer games.

But most golfers are still over 55, playing around 80 to 90 rounds per year.

This is our shop window of what we think golf is all about, and we want to increase the amount of diversity.

We want a lot of young families, we want a lot of women here, as well as we want lots of under 25s

and as I walk around I'm seeing that.

It's the overall cost of golf that still seems to be putting some people off putting.

With even Donald Trump saying, before he was president, that golf should remain elitist.

He's doing his part to keep it that way as well.

Fees at his exclusive Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida reportedly doubled

to around $200,000 after his election as president.

But even that has some way to go to outdo the top membership at Mission Hills Club in Shenzhen China.

Taking to the course there will set you back over $400,000.

Golf's rulebook will be rewritten for 2019 with simpler rules brought in to make the game more accessible.

And with the sport targeting a new younger audience organizers hope

that new initiatives will bring a new generation teeing off for many years to come.

This is the Police 2 - Mini Review - Duration: 2:45.

Welcome to a different kind of a review.

I usually review games after i finish them but i played enough of this is the police

2 to get an opinion on it but without finishing it.

I should also mention that i got sent a key for this game by the publisher THQ Nordic

so i did not buy it.

So this is going to be a mix between a review and a thoughts on the game video.

First things first though.

You play as Jack Boyd, the protagonist of the first game, now no longer a chief of police

but on the run from the law.

And where do you run?

Some small town in the middle of nowhere.

Through a set of improbable events you take charge of the local sheriff station.

As with the first game you will have to make decisions for all the cops on your station

and also try to go through the obstacles the game throws at you.

Angry people, corrupt citizens and blackmailing "friends".

Unfortunately this is the police 2 suffers from some of the same problems the first game

had.

While the story is engaging and the characters interesting with some pretty good voice acting

the gameplay part of the game brings the whole experience down.

Weappy Studios tried to expand on the gameplay of the first game with some additions like

the tactical ops.

These play a lot like an xcom mission.

You load into a map, you move through a turn based system and your goal is to take out

the perps either by arresting them or killing them.

Each cop has a set of perks and you pick 4 of them each time you get into one of these

missions.

Depending on the mission you might want to be more stealthy or you might want to go all

out and get some decent shooting perks for your cops.

These mission's are not bad but unfortunately get dragged down by the kinda obtuse ui and

the lack of information you have.

As far as the rest of the game goes, like the first game you start each day with a set

of cops to send out to distress calls.

Sometimes the cops won't show up at work (must be nice working somewhere where you

do not have to actually show up whenever you want), other times they won't work with

specific kind of cops (i had a cop for example which only accepted women on her team) or

they will simply refuse to go out on a call for whatever flimsy excuse they chose at the

time.

When you do manage to sent someone out to the crime you get a set of options and depending

on the equipment you have given to your cops , their skills and your choices you get a

positive or negative outcome.

In the end while the story line is interesting and i would have liked to see where it lead

the monotony of the gameplay just makes the experience boring.

With a ton of good to great games out there i would give this game a pass.
