I recently ported a couple of my tracks:

• Mackinac Point Club, which we used on this society a season or two ago
• Mullen Municipal — my favorite build so far. It got selected for use on TGC Elite last year. I softened a couple of the greens and it plays pretty nicely in the new game.

Been out of the country for the past three weeks and just fired up the new Google doc for the first time. I’ll be damned if this didn’t bring a tear to my eye…

Love it! I would like to use Mullen Muni for this upcoming season for sure, I hope to have time to play tomorrow afternoon/evening and I’ll stream a couple rounds at both courses.

Finally downloaded the new game (should out Black Friday sale) and got my golfer set up and the difficulties from the previous posts - going to see if I can remember how to play this game now in preparation for Monday!

Woo! Setting up a golfer is a lot different this time around, fittings and skill points are what matter. Unless you have natural talent with swing timing I would also recommend checking out the Rhythm archetype - the distance can be made up with fittings/skill.

i have not done any fittings yet - I did pick rhythm though because swing timing is what i need most help with lol

Going live on Twitch to play test Mullen for the Tour, I will not keep spamming my Twitch link but there will be a VOD available after as well

Polling the audience again here, do you want an event to take place during the week of 12/20, which would overlap Christmas? The way I see it there are two ways this can go, either people will be off work and have more time to play, or might have less time due to family/holiday obligations. Let me know your thoughts.

If we decide to not hold an official event over Christmas, we’ll at least get an exhibition event up so there will still be something to play if you want

  • Schedule an event during Christmas week
  • DON’T schedule an event during Christmas week

Loved your playthrough! Typing responses along to your thoughts:

  • Thank you for the planting compliment, it’s the part of design I work hardest on and glad you thought it was immersive
  • The benches on the 1st green/2nd tee are ā€œRandyā€ benches. Take a seat, enjoy the sounds of the sea and the breeze. Good vibes only.
  • Side note…are you on PC? Because DAMN the game runs so well on your Twitch stream. All the planting and objects render really really well.
  • A+ tee shot on 4. No relief from the wall. It’s older than you.
  • I’m really glad the course is making you consider different shot options with every swing.
  • Par on any of the par 3’s is a hella good score. I only wanted 1 to be a ā€œcupcakeā€ and the rest to be a tough 1-shotter.
  • Great putt on 6 for birdie.
  • ā€œUgh…the scenery on this course is incredibleā€ Thank you. That was the goal all along.
  • EXTREME SHEEP CLOSE UP!!! #SupDude
  • ā€œIf it hits the hill…it hits the hill.ā€
  • Watching you think through 11 gives me LIFE. 3 different fairway options, and they all depend on the wind. A well played birdie there.
  • ā€œDo we go for the green? I think we have toā€¦ā€ Atta boy.
  • I’m so glad you played around in the old castle ruins - was trying to create my own little ā€œTraleeā€ feel there.
  • 15 (the short par 3) playing THAT downwind is basically a short par 4. Heck of a par save there.
  • The 16th green is also my favorite as well. Glad you also saw the ā€œquirkā€ of hitting a 9 iron downwind to a Par 5 vs when that wind blows the other way.
  • I’m also VERY glad you considered the ā€œdraw off the roadā€ on 18. That’s 100% a doable shot with the right conditions to drive the green. Still a classy birdie there. Solid round!!!

Oh snap you’re going around again! Whites make every Par 5 gettable and the Par 3’s a lot easier (less long irons and easier scoring distances)

Cheers! I really enjoy doing first look playthroughs and just seeing what I can see, definitely an untrained eye for architecture/design elements, so kinda like Joe Golfer just showed up and put a review on Yelp.

And yep, running on PC. Some graphics settings are not maxed but framerates can be inconsistent from course to course, so I found hopefully a sweet spot where where I’m not having to change it when I encounter a course with a lot of objects or whatever throttles it.

Are we live with qualifying tonight??

Should be, the event should be up in each society. Event runs all week, and then if there are players that want to jump in during the season they will just qualify using the event that is live at the time.

I’m not seeing anything live for PS5

Ok let me ping the admin team and see if we’re set up. If you are in a situation where you have to play tonight or you won’t have time to get it done, the settings are all public so you can set them up on your own and play if necessary. Use your best judgement and don’t be a scumbag

@Jeff_M just finished my 4 qualifying rounds. Just want to confirm I input the scores correctly. These are gross totals per round, right?

Sorry for the confusion, I just added a note to the sheet. Input score in relation to par (0 for even, - for under, normal number for over par). And yeah just gross score, we ignore the in-game handicap.
