[skipwondah33]

Just for skip.....random sniper mode coming to madden:D

Haha I'll be on the lookout.

But for people who don't buy it doesn't concern me on the game they chose as if it were the wrong choice to do with their money I didn't earn or help them earn haha

[JBHuskers]

Or One-Button Mode.

#TheScriptIsDead
I played that mode (for the trophy) #WhoreForLife

[SCClassof93]

I would not play that mode, no. But I wouldn't pass on the game altogether because of it.

Did you pass on NCAA because of Mascot Mashup? I think not.

#TheScriptIsDead

Granted but imagine if after every game of fifa if you did not remember to reset a couple of players on your roster after every game your entire line up changed? You don't discover your forgetfulness until your next online game....oops i have tards instead of my team....drop and loss....cheers..... First world problem no doubt but before a "fix" you did not have this pain to deal with. After the fix you do.....but because you enjoy the game you play on as a fix is dangled then poof......nada.

A broken game is a different conversation than "battleships are dumb".

In a quick look, this game had slightly lower metacritic scores than TW14. From that, it's tough to say either game is better or that this game has changed the marketplace significantly. Sounds to me like it's simply about preference.

I prefer no golf. Some like TGC and laugh at battleships. Some like EA's game and say TGC is boring (sounds like they nailed Sim if golf is boring, lol). In the end, who cares? I agree with Skip. Spend your money however you like.

As far as broken games go, I can't fault you for refusing to support what you perceive to be a shitty product. I haven't played much Madden since circa 2004 because there are flaws that I can't get past. That said, I don't waste much energy shitting on guys who like it. Sadly, there are people with nothing better to do than to try and ruin the experience for others (I don't lump you into this category).

#TheScriptIsDead

[bdoughty]

No company is perfect. How many dozens of PS3 games had little post-game support with the PS4 on the horizon?

Blind hate based on the ridiculousness of his comments. EA had a gun to my head? Really? Oh, and they are still charging to have a career mode for those who already have the game. If Tiger did that in the past, he would have LOST HIS SHIT.

Just calling it as I see it. Just because you bought TGC does not lessen your bias towards EA games. Pretty sure you buy tons of games that never get much gameplay, outside of trying to raise your trophy count. You seem to be hard on one game and the other you give a pass, after pass, after pass. Where was your hard hitting analysis on all the problems with the Tiger Woods series?

I don't think anyone here considers TGC to be perfect and without fault, as there are numerous issues with the game. What is refreshing is a development team that interacts with their customers, implements their ideas for the game and supports it long after the fact. The course creation tool was the selling point for the game. They do not have any of the fancy licenses, so they went after a segment of the golf community that desires to not only play golf but build course. Courses that you would never get to play otherwise.

One is an established license that has been on the market for more than a decade, the other is a first entry into the market from a much smaller company. Hopefully, one day, you will figure out the difference between the two and why one deserves a little more slack than the other.

[JBHuskers]

You clearly didn't do your research. How many hours have I put into Battlefield, NBA Live, Destiny, NBA 2K, on and on with not many trophies earned.

Didn't know I was restricted from participating in discussion about a game that I do not own. If that's the case, perhaps you should STFU about the next EA golf game since you do not own it.

Bonus points to you, good sir, for knowing who "motherfucker" is, however. :up:

#TheScriptIsDead


Nobody owns it, so what is your point? I have owned every PGA/Tiger Woods game and the new one will be no exception. See, I like golf games, therefore I discuss them. I am rougher on EA's golf titles because they have had a game, almost yearly, since 1991 on the consoles. JB can call it hatred and it is no skin off my back, he is not paying for my games and neither is EA. I simply expect more for $59.99 price tag (plus hundreds of dollars for DLC courses over the years) that I have been playing for quite some time.

You, on the other hand, do not care for golf games (as mentioned already in this thread). I posted information about the next update and replied to a comment from JB. You are just here to get a rise out of me and that is just not going to happen. Appreciate the bonus points though, that was kind of you.

[souljahbill]

This is what I miss most about competing sports titles. TeamEA vs. TeamOtherGuy

[steelerfan]

I LOVE the $60 argument. People routinely spend more than $60 on dinner, drinks, movie, concert, sporting event, etc. Yet, when they buy a video game, they act like it is a major investment.

It's entertainment. It costs money. If you're not happy with the "bang for the buck", quit buying it.

If you thought a movie was terrible would you go see all the sequels and then complain about them? Seems insane to me.

If you're the one buying a game every year even though you have major complaints about the value you are getting from it, it seems more likely that you are the one with a gun to his head.

#TheScriptIsDead

[JBHuskers]

I'm fairly doing everything well, but chipping, pitching, and loft shots are killing at least 8-10 shots off my score. Working towards my first handicap rating, but it will suck :D

[JBHuskers]

This is pretty good :D

I think they did a fairly accurate job on the pitching/chipping. In real golf you can set up your wedges on down to your 7i for chipping, using a 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, etc... ratio on in the air vs roll out.

I attempt to apply this to the game and for the most part I can chip within a few feet of the hole. Once I started doing this my scores came down.

Adding/subtracting loft on full iron shots also helps with yardages.

[JBHuskers]

Yeah that's how I'm getting by is adjusting the loft to a comfortable percentage.

[SmoothPancakes]

Well, I may actually give this a try. It's part of the Xbox Spring Sale, today through the 12th, it's 67% off for Gold members, 60% off to Silver members. So instead of $35, it's $11.55 plus tax. For $12, I think I'd be willing to give this game a try, even if I end up not liking it. $12, meh, I just don't get fast food for dinner one night.

[skipwondah33]

That is a great price Smooth.

I'd give it a tinker for that price...if it were for PS4

[SmoothPancakes]

Played my first round, just a tee up round on Black Brook Golf Course. +12 in the front nine with four bogeys, a double bogey and two triple bogeys, -3 on the back nine with three birdies and six par. A hell of an improvement once I started to get the hang of putting and the green speeds.

Sounds good! Not sure how much I'll be on, but if I'll be spending any significant time on it during a certain day or evening, I'll let you know.

[SmoothPancakes]

Played my second round, again on Black Brook Golf Course with a simple Tee Off round. More consistent this time, though I had my trouble spots. Shot +4 on the front nine, +1 on the back nine for a +5 total for the round. Started off with five straight pars, before a horrible tee shot screwed me and left me double putting to a triple bogey on hole 6. Made a birdie on 7 but followed that with back to back bogeys on 8 and 9.

Started the back nine with back to back birdies and a par, then got hit with a bogey on 13 and a double bogey on 14. Cut the damage with a birdie on 15 and pars on 16 and 17, before missing an 18 foot putt just INCHES short of the bloody hole (even lined it up perfectly to account for the sideways green speeds), forcing me to end the round on a bogey.

Three more rounds and I'll unlock my Handicap Index. Three more rounds, and hopefully, I can make even par or even under par on this bastard course.

[SmoothPancakes]

Played my third round (and third round toward a handicap rating) via Tee Off on Black Brook Golf Course. Shot a -2 for the entire round with 5 birdies and 3 bogeys. Had birdies on the 2nd, 4th and 6th holes, then missed a par putt on 9 for a bogey to finish 2 under on the front 9. Had birdies on 10 and 13 to reach 4 under before I shit the bed to bogey out on both 17 and 18 to end the back 9 on even par and finish 2 under for the entire round.

Did much, much better this round, including nailing a couple 30+ foot putts despite tricky green movements, but still fucked up under moments of pressure. 17 and 18 have been two of the holes to piss me off the most every time I play.

What does the future hold for The Golf Club (http://thegolfclubgame.com/2015/04/17/future-near-far/)?

This week we’ve really been looking at the future of The Golf Club, things that we can do past the May update in the short term and the long term. Things like Greg Norman Course Designer improvements, more themes, an API to help fan sites, etc. The team have as many ideas as you guys, so imagine how much we have to get through. Every round we play, even every shot we play, we come back with more ideas. It’s a great place to be in though, with so much still to do on our wish list we look like we’ll be busy way into the future.

[SmoothPancakes]

Fourth round in the book, shot a best 3 under par. Front nine I had four birdies and a bogey to finish 3 under on the front, back nine I had three birdies and three bogeys to finish even par on the back.

Getting better at putting (I had multiple putts that either went just inches to the side of the hole or actually would go in and out or bounce off the side edge), just need to work on my approaches as they sometimes leave me screwed for a bogey. Of course having winds up to 10 MPH doesn't help too much either.

One more round and I'll have my handicap score.

Also, for my first ever time, hit every fairway in the round. Found out I did it after getting the achievement to pop at the end of the round.

#TheScriptIsDead

[SmoothPancakes]

Alright, I was just going to play one round and then jump on MLB The Show. Instead I said screw it and knocked out my last needed round to get my Handicap Rating.

And thank god I did! I had a MASSIVE round! Shot a perfect bogey free round, 6 under on the front nine courtesy of 6 birdies, had a birdie on the back nine to finish 7 under for the round. I have finally dominated Black Brook Golf Course.

I was making ridiculous putts on the first nine that I had never been making on previous rounds. And even when I'd dick up a shot and leave myself in trouble, I'd recover and make a great approach or I'd sink a great putt to save par.

With those 5 rounds in the books, my initial Handicap Index is officially 2.3. It would probably be better if not for that crappy +9 round I shot in my first ever round in the game.

My five rounds played on Black Brook, I went from an 81 with a 11.00 Handicap Differential, to a 77/7.00 HD to a 70/0.00 HD to a 69/-1.00 HD and finish with a 65/-5.00 HD.

#TheScriptIsDead

[SmoothPancakes]

OK, so now that I have my handicap rating of 2.3, what exactly is that going to effect in my future rounds?

While I watch golf all the time on TV and follow it, I have never quite gotten a grasp on the handicap rating, other than a + rating is really damn good, and something like an 18 means you really suck and basically need an extra putt every hole, I have no clue what a 2.3 is going to do when I play my next round.

For those who want to play The Masters, search for Magnolia. AMAZING replication. Dude put a ton of hours into making it. There is a course for each set of pins plus a casual set up.

There is an Augusta one, but it isn't as good, Magnolia is much better.

[skipwondah33]

Magnolia National is the one I read about

[JBHuskers]

Yep. That would be it.

[gigemaggs99]

Maybe I'm not searching in the correct places but can someone point me in the correct direction?

What are the differences between the downloaded "The Golf Club" vs the disk "collector's edition"...are there extra features on the collector's edition?


I'm able to locate posts that say the extra content will be released later for those who purchased the download versions but it never says what exactly the extra/different content is. :dunno:

http://www.hb-studios.com/forum/index.php?topic=10688.msg114764#msg114764

I was able to search some more:

"Sorry that you got that impression but the disc version is not an add on to the digital version. It is the retail version of the game that also includes the Tropical theme and the Seasons mode. Once the digital DLC comes out in the next few days, both versions will be exactly the same."

This comes from a HB Studios administrator, and was posted 5/13/2015.


Just fired up the PS4, it shows a 1.6 gb update is ready for download for the game. I guess Microsoft is going through a validation update thingy for the XBOX 1 version.

I know EA takes it lumps for turning out incomplete products, but this in my opinion is yet another check-mark in the column for the other guys, the game was $34 when it came out, they have continually updated it and the updates haven't cost a dime. The best part is, the updates seem to be making sense, people, users, fans use the game, then request new features to make the game complete and HB studios makes the adjustments and sends out updates....wouldn't it be nice if EA did the same on their titles? I'm still amazed that the game isn't $59 like all other titles. Even new disk version at the store is $39, they seem to be breaking the mold which is nice. :up:

[gigemaggs99]

PS4 has an update today for TGC.

update notes: http://www.hb-studios.com/forum/index.php?topic=10979.0

There was some serious work into making this one.

It's not much to shout about. Hopefully they will keep working on the season mode and get it to the point where you can use user created courses. A pretty big omission.

No doubt and it can only push EA to be better with their post-release support. If we can have two great golf games, I will be a happy camper.

Did you buy the DLC? If not that would be the only explanation I have. Since it uses courses from the developers on the hard drive, if the server was down it should still work.

Edit: Booted it up and it worked fine in both online and offline mode.

[JBHuskers]

Couldn't find the DLC in-game or in the PS Store.

I recall it was not an easy find. Had to use the search feature in the store and type The Golf Club/Select Game/Go to add-ons.

I had a hard time finding it too. I had to use the options feature on the game, pushing the more info button when at the main Xbox One screen, then it shows options like, update, rate, etc...there was an option to purchase new download content there.

Come to think of it, when I started it up on my PS4 (I only have the pay DLC on XBOX One) it shows the "seasons" mode. When I click on that option from the main menu it gives me the option to purchase the DLC from the PS Store.

It is currently $29.99 for the disc at Amazon. I was just thinking there might be an additional drop on the 15th or possibly a buy 2 get 1 free.

Thanks man. Not sure if the one on PSN is collector's or not. What's the difference between the two?

Would like to play tonight but will order if it comes with extra

[bdoughty]

PSN is the standard edition. You have to buy the $10 DLC to have everything that is on the collectors edition. The DLC/Collectors edition gives you a season mode and a couple themes for creating courses (Delta and Tropical) which you must have to play any created courses using these specific themes.

So what is up on PSN is $29.99 and you still have to buy DLC.
Amazon is everything (Collectors edition) at $29.99, plus you get an E-Book of some kind.

Thanks man, definitely getting from Amazon now. Even have some credit that I can use that I forgot all about.

[bdoughty]

Glad to help anytime. I rarely ever play online but if you want to give it a shot let me know.

I'll join you guys sometime.

[bdoughty]

I will see what it takes to set up a private tourney and make it invite only. Will post it in an hour or so.

[bdoughty]

After flubbing up a few times and creating a bunch of tours. I finally got one to work as expected and set to private.

TGT Tour July 2015

One easy course x 2 rounds
One hard course x 2 rounds
Augusta x 2 rounds

Stroke play, no handicap and 30 days to complete. It is set to private but will show up as public, though you can't play it unless you are on my friends list.

bdsooner72 send me an invite is you wish to join.


To play, go to the play area, select tournament, all tournaments and search for "TGT Tour July 2015." I made some test tours that can not be deleted and will not be used. Make sure you play TGT Tour July 2015. The others do not have the month or year.

[SCClassof93]

Friend request sent.

Got my first two rounds of 57 and 58 in. I did say it was an easy course (easiest official course). The kicker is I had a bogey, on a par 5 no less, during that 57.


Edit: Also there are things that can be turned off to ramp up the difficulty. Green grids, previews and other stuff. No control over the wind, it is based on the course creator.

[bdoughty]

Second course brought me back down to Earth with a 79, featuring a couple double bogies. Greens are much faster and heavily sloped.

I did a test and you can get 10+ courses in a tournament.

[skipwondah33]

Game hasn't arrived yet like I thought it would other day. Soon as I get it I'm definitely down for this

[SCClassof93]

55-52 on the first event. Going to search for the good replicas for our first "official" tour.....Course we really need more than three players.

[SCClassof93]

And yes that's 8 ahead, cough....

[SCClassof93]

Love that second course bd, someone put time into that one. Good venue for a Hawaiian open. 74 in round one

[bdoughty]

Yeah, I had never played it but it had really high ratings and was a tropical theme. Congrats on the first tourney. Now I will have to start playing practice rounds before each event. :D

[bdoughty]

Matched your 74 in round 2 but unfortunately you did not match my 79. Closed the gap but could not take advantage of the par 5's. I do like that it shows people that have completed a round by listing them (and their score) based on playing one hole ahead of you. It added a great deal of suspense until the last hole.

Finished round one at Augusta. Hitting the fairways may be easy but finding the right spots on the green to land the approach is not.

[skipwondah33]

Booting up for first time now.

[skipwondah33]

Very quick impressions after 3 rounds.

Game is solid and I can definitely see myself enjoying it for sure. Feels like golf. Love the ball physics in relation to the green and really everywhere on the course. Ball seems to roll and respond as it should and not with super glue on it

These courses are pretty nice. Good lord there are hundreds

Couple things I wish were different and maybe they are I just haven't found out yet.

#1. Ease of Shot modification: Wish you had to hold a cursor or marker on the ball with the other analog stick making it tougher. Instead of just move High or Low Loft to where you want and just swing away.

Same for hitting a Draw or Fade. That should be way more difficult than just setting and firing away. I've played EA PGA for years and years and still can't hit either to this day without a shank (not counting training wheels swing)

[bdoughty]

Probably too easy to do but I mostly use it for changing the loft. I prefer to stick with the easy route and swing straight, unless a tree tells me otherwise. I used to play games with a natural draw or fade, like the majority of the pros but it became a PITA. There is enough difficulty on the harder courses to get a challenge. Drive for show, putt for dough, etc.

[skipwondah33]

Still would be nice to have that added difficulty.

I haven't missed a fairway yet. Like to turn the scout function off as well if possible.

I have missed a ton of putts. Not due to reads or green speed but the swing oddly not being hard enough most times. Even though it appears I'm swinging plenty hard enough. Then of course when in somewhat close (8-10) the ball rolls quick and fast typically resulting in a pop up out of the cup.

These ball physics though...can't say enough. Just love the way it reacts to the different lies and surface of green

[bdoughty]

Go the options and you can change the difficulty for driving. It is on Normal, there are two higher difficulties which will allow you to spray shots all over the place.

The sounds coming off the clubs are also terrific.

Ahh ok, hadn't really checked the settings other than judt a quick look through. To read some of the info on the screen you have to be pretty close to the TV...I wear glasses but man some of the font is small lol

Yes the sounds are great as well. Even the contact when a divot is made.

Looking forward to playing some more tonight.

Played 9 holes of Augusta National...Man someone did a nice job on that

[skipwondah33]

After flubbing up a few times and creating a bunch of tours. I finally got one to work as expected and set to private.

TGT Tour July 2015

One easy course x 2 rounds
One hard course x 2 rounds
Augusta x 2 rounds

Stroke play, no handicap and 30 days to complete. It is set to private but will show up as public, though you can't play it unless you are on my friends list.

bdsooner72 send me an invite is you wish to join.


To play, go to the play area, select tournament, all tournaments and search for "TGT Tour July 2015." I made some test tours that can not be deleted and will not be used. Make sure you play TGT Tour July 2015. The others do not have the month or year.Will join tonight. Wanted to get a few rounds in beforehand.

Which Augusta is it? I seen quite a few of them lastnight and chose the one with the most plays. Figured that was the legit one. Have to look for the one that it says my friends have played.

[skipwondah33]

Friend request sent BD

[JBHuskers]

How long is this going to be open for? This week is pretty nuts, hoping next week is quieter.

And am I still on your friends list BD?

Will send you a friends request JB and will add you skip here in just a sec.

The Augusta is the (Sunday version) which I think is the highest played one.

[skipwondah33]

Stand corrected on swing difficulty

Set mine to Hard before playing the teeing off our Tour.

Definitely not hitting all drives straight...or approach shots for that matter. Much different than Normal swing

Yup, would recommend sticking to normal for the tour. The last two courses will be challenging enough.

[skipwondah33]

Likely will keep it. I like a tough challenge. Know I won't get close to your guys scores but I like it this way. Makes those narrow fairways even more dangerous. 6+ at the moment at this 2nd course.

In 2 rounds I've only hit probably 3-4 truly straight shots. Wind isn't playing a factor as much as the swing difficulty is just tougher. The shots have a slight fade to them mostly

Tell you what this game is very solid. Know I sound like a broken record but the ball physics and gameplay man

[SCClassof93]

Keep it on tough skip, I do....the courses really drive difficulty on this game.

[bdoughty]

Well if everyone is going to...

I am assuming you are playing on "Hard" or are you on "Hardest?"

[bdoughty]

Also who is going to pick out the courses for Tour #2? Assuming that we are going to have one.

[skipwondah33]

Ah we most certainly are having a #2 lol. I will sales pitch the hell out of this to JB, G and CLW haha.

Winner picks next 2...or you just do it since you are running this bad boy lol.

[bdoughty]

My biggest complaint with the games is two really small things. The lack of an option to turn off the flyby before each hole and when the screen fades to black the ghosting/flicker/whatever that happens each time. The flyby just adds another time I have to see it. Tiny little thing but annoys the crap out of me.

[skipwondah33]

I just hit X quickly on the fly by. Beats waiting for holes to load though.

I'm on Hard BD. Driver distance goes to 265. Not sure if thats dirtance on Normal. I have been getting 300 yard drives when straight.

With the higher the driving difficulty, you get added distance (risk/reward). Pretty sure it says that in the options menu where you change it. Need to check.

[SCClassof93]

I've been looking for courses for season 2....really our first is a test but i want more than 3 guys playing. If we could get a sub forum for results that would be great.

[skipwondah33]

Yeah it does. It's definitely more difficult. I'm missing 60-70% of fairways lol

Shot like +19 first round. All approach shots are going from rough. Committed to getting it down though. Only my 6th round. 3 rounds with this difficulty

[bdoughty]

I've been looking g for courses for s e as on 2....really our first but want more than 3 or guys playing. If we could get a sub forum for results that would be great.

When did you pick up a PS4 Stovy? :P

If JB is in we have four. Someone page CLW to the thread.

[bdoughty]

Yeah it does. It's definitely more difficult. I'm missing 60-70% of fairways lol

I will give it a try but growing up I was a big Calvin Peete fan. He came to golf late, came from poverty and had a broken arm that never set properly. Went on to have the highest FIR% on the tour for almost a decade. Now I have to play like John Daly. :fdown:

[skipwondah33]

Haha give it a go man. I don't like shooting these scores but I know I shouldn't be hitting every fairway easily either. I really get nervous before taking driver out. In a video game!!!

[SCClassof93]

Post deleted

[bdoughty]

Skip,

Had a blast playing with you tonight. Look forward to playing again.

[skipwondah33]

Yeah man that was awesome. Enjoy the game even more now. If I didn't have to get up early this AM I would have stayed on for even more rounds :D

Finally feel comfortable driving the ball on Hard swing. Nice to have the possibility of shanking one if I get careless swinging.

Chambers Bay was a sweet build. Look forward to getting some more rounds in together....I'm hooked

[JBHuskers]

Now I have to play like John Daly. :fdown:

Drunk? :D

[skipwondah33]

Drunk? :DJB and G as well when you have some time we need to play some rounds. The 2 hour round-a-thon BD and I had lastnight reminded me of our sessions on TW years back. Especially with Vio lol.

[SCClassof93]

Soo my tour save got corrupted I assume it happened when I bought the dlc. So I decided to try pine valley, the one you two clowns hacked it on last night. Skip with an 84 and bd an 87. I played the last 5 holes +5 for a 76. This course must be in our tour.

There are so many courses out there it's unreal. The Whistling Straits build was pretty nice.

Have the driver down, now I need to get the putter going.

Forgot to save the shot I had at Chambers Bay on the driveable Par 4 think it was. Overshot the hole and played the back slope, it rolled back with 15 feet and I made the Eagle putt.

I will be on later this evening to finish my tour rounds and play some rounds if anyone is on

You guys on PS4?

[bdoughty]

Yes, PS4.

[CLW]

If you guys are playing some rounds and you see me on - hit me up and I'll join you. I enjoy the game but it would be much more fun to compete with others I know.

[SmoothPancakes]

Alright, I've currently got it on Xbox One (bought it for mucho cheap earlier this summer during one of the sales on Live), so I'll have to look at picking it up sometime for PS4. Maybe at the end of the month or sometime in August.

[skipwondah33]

Yes I definitely want to play Harbour Island. I was thinking about it at work today

[JBHuskers]

Should have practiced before jumping in :D for some reason my power sucks. Can't get it past 90%

[JBHuskers]

Shot a +4 and then -8 at Little Brook. How are you guys getting so much more distance?

[bdoughty]

Shot a +4 and then -8 at Little Brook. How are you guys getting so much more distance?

The patch has obviously changed the tempo of the swing. I was taking my normal, full, smooth swings and like yourself, hitting 90% on drives and approach shots. You really have to flick the analog stick down and up to hit it 100%. I can see the logic behind this in creating more difficulty on approach shots (a 5-10% difference is going to lengthen more putts and missed greens) but it does not feel right to me. It's almost like you have to factor in that most shots will be 90 to 95% and constantly overclub. That is not really accomplishing anything, just adding more math. You should not have to slam the the stick to get 100%. If anything someone who does this should be considered a 100+ swing with lower accuracy.

People are running into the same issue on the official forums, hopefully it goes back to the way it was. According to some this happened on a previous patch where it was screwing up shot distances and worked it's way back to normal.


Apparently it is something they were trying to do with the swing.

Re: 94 is the new 100

We're reviewing at the moment, I'm concerned that nevada isn't able to get it as his techniques were pretty good. Give us until lunch time tomorrow and we'll decide what to do. We can change it on the server so it'll be an instant fix

[skipwondah33]

I noticed that as well lastnight. Took the longest to figure out how to get 100% or close to it for the longest as I hadn't hit a full power shot in over 50+ swings. Finally my last round before I went to bed I was starting to hit full power shots.

BD is right you have to flick the analog stick down quickly. Of course on Hard swing difficulty this can result in a higher chance of a slice. I can tell in the down swing if it will be 100% or not because my guy's tempo seems to slow down.

On another note here are two shots from my rounds at Magnolia National on #16. I've always loved the way the green sloped on this one for Sunday's pin placement. My scores weren't that great however.

Thanks...that's what I did in round two, and as you can see it was a major improvement :D I'll just overclub.

[bdoughty]

I have to say the more I use the intended swing the more I like it. Still think 100% should be toned down a wee bit on the downswing and a 100%+ (true risk/reward shot) should be considered. Players do over-swing in real life. It does make me think before every shot, especially approach shots. Plus there is the bright side that I can dial up a 90% swing on demand with my regular tempo.

Leave it and continue to fine tune it, is my gut feeling now.

[skipwondah33]

I do as well BD. I've been playing alot of rounds past 3 days and getting more use to it and enjoying it.

[CLW]

I played a few rounds yesterday (first time in a long while) and I kind of like the rare 100% power shots. I was typically getting in the low 90s as well which seems more sim as noone ever gets 100% all of every shot they make and it adds a little more challenge to distance.

[bdoughty]

http://thegolfclubgame.com/2015/07/30/swing-gate-quest-100/

They are going to go back a bit to make 100% require less thrust on the downswing. I agree that they need to make all the versions play the same. Still wish they had a higher% swing that produced a greater risk/reward. That is the three clicker in me that has always loved the option to overswing a shot and deal the with consequences of a missed third click.

If I end up getting Rory, I might just stick to playing that with a 3 click swing exclusively. It also helps to negate my displeasure of the analog putting setup in RMPGA.

[skipwondah33]

Yeah there should be a higher risk reward for trying smash a shot or fully hit the ball.

I think that is where the Hard driving difficulty comes into play. Whenever I tried to absolutely hit 100% I'd have the ball slice usually. But when I focused on hitting a solid drive over power...the drive was perfect.

That was especially important when the change was made.

[skipwondah33]

Ready for another tour. Game has improved since our first one. Only had a few rounds prior.

I've played much more than that since. Getting the swing down

[bdoughty]

I am really to start a new one. Checked the leaderboards and we are the only two people to finish the first.

[skipwondah33]

SC had an issue that tossed out his final scores. JB hasn't finished dont believe

[bdoughty]

Well, SC wanted to put together a list of courses. So I guess we will wait until he posts here to see where we go next.

[skipwondah33]

Let's start another for practice purposes then SC's can be be the next official one.

Speaking of which we should get a sub forum created to be organize and get a list of who will be playing

[bdoughty]

Starting to think it is just us. :D

How many courses/rounds do you want?

[skipwondah33]

How many ever you want. Down for any

CLW plays. JB does when he has time.

[SCClassof93]

Guys I'm going to be busy until after labor day. Skip, I've been asking for a sub forum for this game since launch, good luck with that. BD, if it is only 3 or 4 of us I don't see the point.

[skipwondah33]

Can get us one

Let's get a roll call to see how many. Think it would be more than 4. Don't care if it's only 4 just want to get some rounds in competitively

[bdoughty]

Well I am going to put a small tour up anyway, even if it is just me and skip.

Tour Name: TGT August 2015 Two guys one cup (should be up 30 minutes after this post)

Going with 5 courses (2 rounds each). A mix of easy and hard.

[bdoughty]

I can live with 3 or 4 but completely understand if you do not wish to continue.

[bdoughty]

We had an instant classic in the first tourney. I mustered up a -1 in round one and Skip hit it out of the park with a -7. Then the second round we just flip the score. I hit a -7 and Skip goes -1 under. So we tie the tourney which kinda brings up an issue with the tourneys, what do they do in the event of a tie? Since I have it set to play for 30 days we will have a long wait to find out. Assuming nobody else joins and beats an -8 under score.

[SCClassof93]

I still have time to play guys, just no time to search for courses and set up a tour and track winners etc.

[skipwondah33]

I see that! I felt bad looking at the score card for round 1 and you guys both had green numbers and I didn't. However, you both had red numbers that I didn't. -5 after round 1. The new stick setting is difficult on approach shots.

The new stick setting is difficult on approach shots.I missed alot of putts in my 2nd round on the 2nd course (love that course BTW). Had quite a few gimmes from within 5 feet but lipped them out.

Had a nice eagle chance close but missed that one as well.

I'm holding off on playing my 3rd course until I can meet up with BD and whoever else wants to join in on the party. Couldn't last night because my Son was already asleep and the man cave isn't ready for gaming yet lol

I thought something was different about the swing on approach shots. Thought it was just me but seem like the driver and irons did a reverse

[skipwondah33]

When/if you guys are going to play just let me know.The tour is already set up, just have to join it under Tours (TGT August).

[SCClassof93]

-8 Rd 2 for -13 total. My putting, short game and approach irons were off, especially the approach shots...

[SCClassof93]

When/if you guys are going to play just let me know.

You don't want any :D

[skipwondah33]

Knew that 2nd round would come up to bite me. Didn't help bogeyed that last hole either.

[bdoughty]

Well there goes the suspense of seeing what happens to a tie. :fdown:

[SCClassof93]

Just started the 2nd event. You both have improved drastically. I didn't see any wild hooks or slices and if memory serves me neither of you have been playing the hardest swing difficulty long. I managed to keep from hooking until 17 and 18....

[SCClassof93]

Had to rally from 3 back of bd but a 63 got me ahead by 2. Again you guys are bringing it, I've been on hardest swing for a long time, both of you have picked it up quicker than I did....cheers

[bdoughty]

Forever 2nd place. :smh: I could take some solace in beating Skip but he just got the game and is getting better by the day. Can't speak for Skip but I use the hard (not hardest) difficulty for drives and even then I loft down on drives against the wind, because my brain is conditioned to do so. Of course you lower the difficulty once you bring it down. Not really a fan of how they handled the "driving difficulty" (the only swings affected by that setting are drives and fairway shots with woods.) They just move the loft up really high on hard and higher on hardest. The patch has caused me to miss more fairways than the harder setting. Since you have to flick it up much faster, this is where I end up with more mishits. Reality is the courses length, green speed and wind are what make a course difficult. You can miss every fairway on a moderately short course and still do well. Having to constantly hit a 3 or 4 iron approach shot and sticking it on the green consistently is a much greater challenge. Doing so from the rough...

Loft should be eliminated in regards to "driver difficulty" and replaced with overswing factoring into risk/reward that affects all the clubs.

Just putting this here to remind me to play and add to the next tour. Rave reviews on the official forum.

[skipwondah33]

I have definitely put in the work to get better lol. Every night I try to get atleast 5-6 rounds in. Only look for courses that are at worst Hard difficulty. Unless I'm trying to beat a score.

SC I'm on Hard swing difficulty. I do want to try Hardest though since I feel confident with the Hard swing now.

That course looks nice, definitely want to play that.

May be on later this evening if anyone is around to play 3rd course

[bdoughty]

Just let me know when and I will be there.

I have no problem continuing to make tournaments. Start a list of courses you would like to see and I will add them. Do you want more or less rounds per course? Was thinking of making the next tour at least 10 courses, all hardest difficulty. We can always turn off the grids and other things to make it more challenging.

The funny thing is these courses are all really difficult if we were to just play them ourselves. But soon as you put them in a Tour compete setting, seems like it ramped up our competitiveness and focus lol.

Well third place looks to be a given in tournament #3. I turned into Nick Faldo and played the first round even par. Kept looking around for Fanny Sunesson to remind me how pars are not so bad and playing it safe is admirable. Hope someone gets that reference, I am pretty old. Round two was a complete reversal at 6 under, even with a bogey and too many missed puts.

SC would you have the wife smack your thumb with a hammer? Just a couple times, trying to level out the playing field.

I got busy, but I will van de Velde myself through the next one hopefully.

[SCClassof93]

Ok, finished event 3 at -21. Come get me skip. Forgot how good this game plays. I will sketch out four five event tours each finishing on a major asap. Need to figure points won for each event etc.

[skipwondah33]

Sounds good. Will these be considered in the Tour or Season? Or will when you have them plotted out, will those be the official start of the Tour?

During this time we can make sure CLW can actually join them before they start since he was having an issue with the one currently going.

In regards to the 3rd event, think I shot a -4 in 1st round. Plagued by missed putts galore. Approach shots were fairly good and was able to stick some close but missed the putts. Started the 2nd round late lastnight but stopped and I was getting sleepy. Will pick up and see what I can do but that score won't be reachable I can say that.

Also toyed around with the Hardest Drive difficulty on Augusta National before going to bed. Didn't have all that much trouble with it surprisingly except on an occasional few. May stick with it though.

[CLW]

Have to be friends with BD on PSN, if you already aren't.

It's titled TGT August: Two guys, One cup

Yeah I found the right thing just wouldn't let me join/play - I'll try to add BD (if he will have me) as my friend.

[SCClassof93]

Going to start event 4 at Pinehurst now.

[SCClassof93]

Looks like I'm going first this time. Bogey on 1

I sent you a request yesterday and it shows you accepted? I might have searched and added the wrong one.

This pleases me. I am getting ready to start my round in a few.

Make sure to go to options and select Private (friends only) and turn handicap scoring off before you publish.

[SCClassof93]

Well event 4 should be wide open. The long par 4s and greens gave me trouble. Still dig the course and Pinehurst 2 should be in our U.S. Open rotation.

[SCClassof93]

Make sure to go to options and select Private (friends only) and turn handicap scoring off before you publish.

Think the three of us should research courses and compare notes and decide what we want....thinking 9/1 we should start the next official gaming tailgate tour season. ....if we can get a sub forum that is....hint hint

A great breakdown of all the courses, fictional, real, etc. Also covers the theme used and you can click on each course for some media.

[bdoughty]

So I started Pinehurst -2 and thinking man I have a chance here. Triple bogey and it went straight downhill from there. :fp:

[SCClassof93]

The leader boards are still buggy. Neither of you show up anymore.

[bdoughty]

The leaderboards never seem to work well. They are fine once you have a few people complete the whole tour or it expires but it is probably something that would be better if we just kept it manually. Just post your scores and someone can tally everything, which I do not mind doing.

Looks like we all finished round one of the final tour stop. Shot a -1 under to take the lead. One of the best rounds I have played considering hitting most greens was near impossible and I had to sink 5 or so putts from 10ft out just to save par. It was also one of the most stressful rounds of golf I have played and loved every minute of it. I like playing last so I can scoreboard watch. Had to make up for the disaster at Pinehurst. Did complete the final round but will not post the score.

SC, I was kidding when I asked for your wife to break your thumb. ;)



So JB, CDJ or G can we get a sub forum for the TGT TGC Tours? Please and thanks in advance.

[skipwondah33]

Played my 2nd round of the 3rd course. Number wasn't that good and finished last.

Pinehurst wasn't all that great either. Had some good shots but then bad putting or other way around. Finished E in 1st round and +2 I believe 2nd round.

Now Chambers Bay...goodness, I've played this course a few times outside of the Tour but still can't manage to get it down. Those greens are like cement on approach shots. Believe I am +2 thru 9-10 holes of 1st round. Or maybe I played all of it, it was late lol

[SCClassof93]

Chambers Bay was brutal. My first time playing it last night was in the event , ugh....

[skipwondah33]

Chambers Bay was brutal. My first time playing it last night was in the event , ugh....Yeah it's rough.

I love the drivable par 4 if you hit the bank right. In real life that bank is higher up than it is on the game. In one of the rounds I played there with BD, I hit it perfect and had it roll back within distance for Eagle.

[SCClassof93]

Skip, did the leader board work for you last night?

[skipwondah33]

Skip, did the leader board work for you last night?No think it was messed up. Showed you as +4 while on Chambers Bay but I thought scorecard said something differently.

Thought it read incorrectly on Pinehurst as well

[SCClassof93]

Looks like I'm 4 back at chambers bay to start the final round..

[SCClassof93]

Closed the gap to 1. Congrats bd

[skipwondah33]

I played speed golf rest of my 2nd round other night. Was hitting 70% shots and everything usually forgetting to change the club they suggested

Congrats BD!

I requested for sub forum as well, but once we get one are we going to post scores since leaderboard is messed up? Ghe scorecard worked I thought but believe it only shows the person playing

[SCClassof93]

Skip, I'm thinking just use the tourney option, set up two or three four round events every couple weeks or five/six four rounders a month. I'm working on a schedule for an official tour if we can get a sub forum, probably 20-25 events.

Works for me I like it.

Have a major-type course at the end each tournament?

[SCClassof93]

You won the tour like the Japanese won Nagasaki :D

[bdoughty]

But I won the hardest event, so that is like x10 bonus credit. :P

[cdj]

Sorry - I missed skip's PM request somehow until tonight. I have created the TGT TGC sub-forum (http://www.thegamingtailgate.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?109-TGT-The-Golf-Club-League-(PS4)). Do you guys need some posts in here moved there? If so, let me know.

[bdoughty]

Thank you very much. http://i.imgur.com/fsRtADx.gif

Thank you very much. http://i.imgur.com/fsRtADx.gif

Perks of being part of Team CSJ, the 3 man wrecking crew on Rocket League haha

Joking thanks CDJ

Swiss theme preview and pine needles.

[skipwondah33]

Nice. Wondered when they would get pine needles

http://thegolfclubgame.com/2015/08/28/two-new-seasons/

Two new seasons coming with community courses. Really wish we could make our own but this is better than nothing.

[bdoughty]

Well there is a patch on the PS4 and mine is still downloading... So I do not know what all it entails, outside of fixing the swing.

[skipwondah33]

I haven't had a chance to download it yet. Mean't to get on the PS4 lastnight but was tired. Will check it out tonight.

Played a round Saturday and had a bit of rust putting
