We need to get more people playing this way to show HB needs to have loft box option. I can't understand how people even play with grids. I know we all have our own opinions on what is fun, but how is shooting -15 every round fun? This society demonstrates how real golf is played. I am surprised more people don't play this way and even more surprised that the main PGA/Euro/Web tours still have green grids on.

So glad this part of my stream wasn't muted by Twitch as it was the funniest part p.s. for the non-Brits, "jammy" is a slang word for lucky

Just played my round and absolutely loved it. Knowing I couldn't use the loft box really made me focus on course management, which really helped my scoring. A little lady luck with the putting helped too. Fired a -6 which for me is a great round(7 birdies and a bogey) 100% G.I.R. so didn't get to test my scrambling skills yet, I did miss 4 fairways but one was going for the green on 17. I have a new fear for short siding myself now so I just play it safe. I going to leave follow can off permanently in my settings. By the way, no proximity to hole stats on my eventvstats either.
HB really needs to make locking the loft box OFF an option in future installments. I also gave a shout out to your club in my society, so hopefully a few more adventurous spirits will give it a try!

Opened up with a level par 70,4x birds,2x bogeys 1 double on the 18th due to a pathetic 4 putt 😢.Would love to play this way 100% of the time.HB should scrap the loft box altogether,maybe replace it with the ability to choke down on a club just as IRL ,I think we would then have ourselves a pretty good golf sim.Looking forward to playing many more rounds this way on some great RCR’s,good luck everyone 👍

Just played my first round of this fantastic society in a really pleasant 3 ball with Larry M and Dave C. What surprised me is that I made so little mistakes as I really thought each shot through before I made the swing, was really impressed with my own course management. I am not one for really touching the loft box much on TST especially in the short game as I prefer partial shots around the green. I pulled off a couple of 95% approach shots when needed and played sensibly off the tee with my 5 and 3 wood. Hit two really classy shots just off the green, a really lovely chip on 1 for birdie and a perfectly executed flop on 12 for eagle . Just 2 lapses of concentration, a silly 3 putt on 11 and made a stupid 5 on the short 17 from just off the green, this is probably the best I've played for a few months as my TST game is a bit shabby, maybe because I rush my rounds there too much. Really happy with a 67 which should of been better as my long birdie putt on 18 just moved to the right of cup just at the end agonizingly. I played Larry and Dave from HB's spectator view which is just perfect for this society, It's bad etiquette to stand directly behind someone when they play their shot or especially when they putt irl and I'm not sure it's legal in competition play, I know my real life society doesn't allow it. Any tips on the best way to post screen shots here? not figured that out yet

Played the 2nd round whilst enjoying a drop of single malt 😉& it certainly helped,shot a 7 under 63,bogey free.Highlight of the round was revenge on the 18th after my 4 putts there in the 1st round.Holed out with a 6 iron 2nd shot for eagle,felt like scoring the winnner in the cup final 😂. I’m afraid I haven’t got a clue how to upload screenshots or highlights as I play on PS4 & then visit forums on my iPad,forgot to check proximity to hole after 1st round but checked after 2nd & can confirm it is not working.When I played some practice rounds yesterday it was definitely working so not sure why it isn’t now 🤔 Cheers all 🥃

Always nice to share someone's great shots, any tips on the best way to upload sreenshots and video on PS4 guys?

Got my first round in after playing some irl golf today. Man there is something else about standing on the tee and watching the ball flight and not mashing the fast forward button, tranquil almost. Off to a sluggish start, bogeyed the first but came back with a birdie on the third. Hit my approach shot and knew it was close, get to the green and it was a tap in putt for birdie just 8 in away. Back and forth on the front to make the turn at Even. Back to back bogeys both short sided myself on bunkers shots which left tricky putts coming back. Birdied two of the last three holes and made a clutch par save at 18 to finish back at even par. Pars felt amazing with this style of gameplay.
For any of you fellow Xbox players here and are interested in trying these out. Come on by! 🤙🏽
