critique my cp please :)
toasty:
If you play any Golden Tee, I might recommend moving the trackball buttons somewhere else, perhaps behind the trackball. You might find that you're hitting those buttons when you spin the ball forward hard.
johnmax:
I agree with toasty. My CP is almost the same as yours, with ESC, Tab and pause buttons where your mouse buttons are. When we play Golden tee, we hit the buttons frequently and exit the game by accident. Even though yours are mouse (an accidental press probably won't matter), it can be uncomfortable when you hit them.
bleemus:
Like toasty, I agree that you shouldn't have anything in the path of those golden tee people who take a full backswing and follow through like they are throwing a discus. Could end up with stubbed fingers and/or broken buttons.
And if a gal ends up breaking a nail on those buttons using the trackball, hoo buddy I feel sorry for you... they get mad over that stuff.

I've actually got a buddy like this that had to have SURGERY because of a Golden Tee-related injury (on a commercial GT cab, not a MAME cab). Slammed his hand forward and right into the glass covering the monitor. Didn't break the glass, but ended up with some bone fragments floating about...
He's doing fine now, and with that in mind, this ranks up there with the all-time funniest injuries. His wife thought it was hysterical. Pathetic, but hysterical.

I also say move those buttons. For one thing you'll be either taking your hand off the trackball to press the buttons, or crossing over to reach with your other hand. Use Player 1 buttons instead, if at all possible.
Slightly off-topic, but my wors Golden Tee injury was also with a commercial cab. I may have been a little intoxicated at the time, but I did my backswing as normal and when it came to follow through I went a little low and hit the front of the cab. Hurt like a son of a gun, and completely ruined my score for the rest of the game. A little blood, but nothing was broken. Good times. ;D
