Hi guys,
Have just started up a unique PS4 Society that I hope will draw in a few of the sim crowd and few of the not so inclined.
I enjoy NO AIDS play but I hate knocking it close and having a 4 footer break across the cup as many do so with this in mind I have kept the green grids turned ON!
All other AIDS are OFF, no shot feedback, no aiming reticules of any kind, no scout cameras, no wind speeds and no lie grid. I find its a pretty authentic way to play the game, IRL we can gauge a greens break somewhat to simulate a green grid in our heads and it all comes down to picking a line and speed and that's what it is here with no putting markers for me anyways, join in and I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I do.

This is by far the best potential society in the community, the format is possibly the most authentic way to play the game. Don't miss out!

2 more days guys to get your rounds in for the Inaugural event and a chance to recoup your joining fee goes to the winner! No other society runs these settings so give them a try in a social round and I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as we do.
If you are get to try these settings in a casual round then I implore you to give it a try!
I'll be posting the schedule so far very shortly.
A big thank you for the support so far and a couple donations have got us to level 5 already, really want to hit level 6 so I can schedule the Major events a bit more regularly so we'll see how long that takes, needing around 10k to get there so if we get 10 more folks wanting to join then I'll be able to alter the schedule a little more and upgrade some events to Majors, I'll be giving out event bonuses on all Majors!
Seriously consider this Society guys, cheers!

Have applied to join but I am in 5 societies so think I will need to quit 1 before I am accepted.I will quit a society I am in which has way too many events to keep up with. I like your idea of a 4 round weekly much better & also like the look of your settings,I enjoy TST,am away this weekend so probably won't get chance to play 1st event but will look to play next weeks,cheers.

Post by rod81simo on Sept 5, 2017 21:07:57 GMT -5
Around 20 now, 12 have actually joined and there are like 6 pending for the members approval, not off to as quick a take up as I first thought but it's steadily increasing by 3 a day or so, the more that join and spread the word the quicker it will grow, if be happy with 20 people a week playing the events, we'll see if we get there

This is perfect, exactly how I like to pay the game and exactly how i think the tours should run. I'll be in once I can get the coins. My PS4 swing has gone to poo though.
