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

When did you pick up a PS4 Stovy? :PQuote:

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!!!

Skip,
Had a blast playing with you tonight. Look forward to playing again.
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
Drunk? :DQuote:

Haha most of the time was spent slicing and dicing through the course :D. It definitely has to be. There are so many courses out there it's unreal. The Whistling Straits build was pretty nice.Quote:

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
We played a ton of rounds and I think there was some fatigue setting in at that point. I told you guys Pine Valley was an amazing course and by gosh we got our moneys worth.

You guys on PS4?
Yes, PS4.
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.
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.
Yes I definitely want to play Harbour Island. I was thinking about it at work today
Should have practiced before jumping in :D for some reason my power sucks. Can't get it past 90%
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.Quote:

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
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.Quote:

Leave it and continue to fine tune it, is my gut feeling now.
I do as well BD. I've been playing alot of rounds past 3 days and getting more use to it and enjoying it.
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.
http://thegolfclubgame.com/2015/07/3...ate-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.
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.
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
I am really to start a new one. Checked the leaderboards and we are the only two people to finish the first.
SC had an issue that tossed out his final scores. JB hasn't finished dont believe
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.Quote:

Speaking of which we should get a sub forum created to be organize and get a list of who will be playing
Starting to think it is just us. :D
How many courses/rounds do you want?
How many ever you want. Down for any
CLW plays. JB does when he has time.
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.
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
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.
I can live with 3 or 4 but completely understand if you do not wish to continue.Quote:
