Welcome to the forums my friend and yes we are a friendly bunch most of the time haha. Unfortunately I won't be playing in this as the handicap system on the game is flawed in my opinion... for example as I play a lot of community events as well as tournaments my handicap is 9 meaning I give the easiest courses 9 shots whereas my friend luke ( oswinner ) who used to have a similar handicap to me plays mainly tst rounds now and now gets 3 shots from the course so if we were both to play this he would have a 12 shot head start on me even though he is of similar ability. Not trying to rain on your parade and I wish you the best of luck just letting you know of possible problems 😀

I'm a little confused though, what are "tst rounds?" EDIT: I am totally open to getting rid of the handicap rule. I mainly want to have the most people playing as possible.

Tst or true sim tour rounds are rounds without any aids on so no green grids, no approach camera, no wind meter and no help with club selection

In other words, if people DID NOT play true sim tour rounds, the handicap system would be fair? p.s., I understand "fair" in this context is a relative term. There is no fair system here.

Well it's open to abuse imo for example if I really wanted to win this I could go and play the easiest courses and max out every hole thereby lowering/raising my handicap to a positive then playing but to be honest nearly all folk on here are honest and wouldnt do such a thing

Good lord, I hope so. If there are people out there who have the time to do that, more power to them.

But also, the easier the course the harder it is to improve your handicap, correct?

I've played in a few handicap tourneys with my friends from Champions United CC, and they seem to never work out as intended. There's just some flaw with the handicap system in the game (I assume it's because not all courses are handicap-rated, but that's just conjecture on my part). For instance, I distinctly remember one tournament where I would've had to shoot -95 over 72 holes to match the guy who was in first. I'm confident that those guys weren't trying to game the system, either.
I like the idea, but I don't think the HB handicapping is the way to do it. Best of luck, and welcome to the tour!
