PGA Players: Here's the thought on the upcoming events and RCRs to be used. Please provide feedback in the poll. Everyone who reads the thread please mark the bottom option if you marked any option, or you want to play them all.
My thoughts: Kapalua- PLAY Waialae- Do not use- go fictional course PGA West- PLAY Torrey Pines- PLAY TPC Scottsdale- PLAY
Thanks for your input

Im gonna have to agree. Waialae just doesnt seem as properly sculpted or planted to look or play like a tour course IMO, and quite frankly the greens reacted weirdly to me as well. But regardless, I wont be playing anyways until the flick swing issues are resolved, but thats another story.

The only one I see in the TGC Tours 2019 database is Kapalua and it's designed by Scott Doyley? I must be doing something wrong.

Also wanted to say that I voted against PGA West because I would rather die then play a cartoony "RCR" by boom boom ever again. Especially when we have quality designers in this community.

Kapalua is good If its s2gs pga west, burn it Can i suggest ppl looking at all the hb rcrs as if you dont play them default all the putting calculations are wrong especially sawgrass. You can have a 3ft putt and it says 4 inch downhill and it uphill and if you move it properly it will go str8 thru the hole. Game is broke.

Which Scottsdale are we voting on? As last year, there was one that was pretty rubbish - and so wasn't played. So that leaves the HB official version - and if they have the issues hippy says, then that would be a no vote for that one too.
I assume we are playing Friendbomber's version of Sawgrass in March, rather than the HB version too?

I am holding off on my contributions to the voting as I wasn't sure of the exact courses to be chosen for these events.
The HB version of Sawgrass (back 9 I believe is the worst) in particular has the "false inches reading" problem on putts when it is 3 or 4 inches off on various holes. If the others have this as well then they shouldn't be used, either, IMO.

Also, which Torrey Pines version? The one last year we played in TST had a water table issue where your ball could land in water (notably #18), but since it was water level higher than the water level on another point on the course, you had to play it as is from the water.
Not sure if this has been fixed in TGC2019 (Either by course designer changed on HBs end orby the designer changing the course itself) or if that particular version has even been ported over or not.

The versions in the title are the exact titles
It’s Boom Boom’s PGA West
There’s only one Torrey Pines South Course in the game
There’s only the HB TPC Scottsdale in the game
Any course in the game can be added to the TGCTOURS database so adding to database won’t be an issue.

Just like to say I echo hippy’s and sweromotions feedback. Default RCRs give weird elevation putting and Torrey 18 needs fixing but I’d love to play it.
Yes to kapalua!

I may be a lone outsider, but I haven't played any of the HB default courses (at least not a full round). Can you elaborate on this elevation bug? Why would it only be on the HB default courses?

There are putts that will show an incorrect elevation change. At Sawgrass, on the marker info, it shows like 3 or 4 inches lower than what it "really" is. Deciphering which holes it actually happens on and if it happens 100% of the time is a toss up for me, but I haven't played them in a while.
If you pull the marker all the way back to your ball it will show 0 ft to the marker but will still have an elevation "drop" of 3-4 inches as I mentioned. So that is an impossibility considering the marker is literally "on" the ball.

Sawgrass is awful.just play it once and you wont wanna play it again. Its all on the greens. All the beads will be moving towards you and the putt looks uphill and it will show downhill and vice versa thus making the break play different to what it shud be. And you have to almost play it wrong to hole the putts. So when the default settings are changed like all the courses on this game they only play 75% true. But the hb courses are proper fubard

Sawgrass the elevation disagrees with the arrows. For instance arrows move towards you putting despite it saying 4” downhill. Given you are sometimes not even 3 feet away. Not sure why this is glitched. I believe I have seen it reported in the HB bug forums but nothing fixed as of yet.

Thanks guys for the color. I will be utilizing the rangers on all of these courses and can have them look for these specific things. Sawgrass is months away, but we'll likely never use an HB version unless it's the sole option.
