Yes, andybarrell, I am not referring to which set of clubs an individual uses, but referring to several who are now in the Senior Tour, but are not involved in the TGC Tour.

I don't labeling someone amateur, as in real life, makes them any more or less of a skilled player. They just are not affiliated with the game professionally.

Bobby Jones was an amateur I believe.

Jeez, I was cruisin' along the last few seniors rounds then I ran in to Turnberry which I've played well before, tgc1 anyway. Man it felt like I was swingin' banana peels instead of golf clubs. Maybe I should've smoked a few if em' 1st...the next round can't get here soon enough!

Mind you I'm playing like a real senior with the Standard clubs at the moment while I sort out my short game. I'm P-P straight on every shot with Standard clubs and hit 100% of fairways but I trade off distance for that accuracy. I like that strategic choice.

Kudos to the designer Yeltzman…finished +9 on player clubs (Ps4). I live about 3 hours’ drive from the real course…really great to see these courses in TGC. Just wondering if Yeltzman has one of Muirfield in East Lothian? Really enjoying the senior’s tour society…a big well done to the all admins Onwards up upwards for us Honourable Gentleman and indeed Ladies of golf

No doubt he'll probably port that over to TGC2 sooner or later.

I've moved to Player clubs from Standard and it shows in my score! +10 at Turnberry! I was getting P/P on standard pretty much all the time but the lack of distance started to irritate me. Will persevere with Player and hope my scores improve. Still a huge learning curve.

On the Tours I was getting frustrated with every shot from tee to green! I can play the Standards like playing a 3W in TGC1 which lets me get to the green in a better state of mind to figure out my short game!
Turnberry felt so good because you have to play a bump and run game with the Standards and it suited to course.

Peter, Sam, et al., you guys are doing a phenomenal job transferring the tour to the new game. Major kudos to all. I'm enjoying it as much as anything else associated with the game, the PGA Tour included.
Thanks for your efforts!

Just letting you know guys that I have put a link to the "Results" spreadsheet in the Opening Post. This means you will always know where to find it and won't have to search through pages. Been there. Done that.

As in the past you guys are doing a great job and thanks for all your efforts! As I continue to be a C or D player at best in this game, I still look forward to lots of fun here.

Turnberry is a great rcr from the links loving yeltz. He's just ported over birkdale (half hour) from my house. Another brilliant links. Starting to get the hang of tour clubs (for now!). Managed -2 with some good scrambling and putting. The lack of water on links courses helps. Nearly aced 11. Can't belive it. Rolled beautifully down the slope short right of the hole.. thought it was going in but pulled up 4 inches short. GRR...
