I really, really like the no scout cam thing, it adds so much to the tee shots especially. I think everyone found the no scout cam interesting but to be honest, you'd have to have total trust that all PC users wouldn't just press F10 and do this....even includes the green grids for good measure!! Assume then, that PC users can currently do this in TST ? Wasn't ever aware that was an option.

Assume then, that PC users can currently do this in TST ? Wasn't ever aware that was an option. Presume so but I'll be honest it never once crossed my mind when I played TST last year. But it's doable to swerve the scout cam being off. I've only ever used it for course photo's.

OK. That settles it. Since we can't trust those pesky PC guys...scout cam for TST too! Doyley, does Lie Grid have an optional "open" setting, and if so, would you be willing to leave it "open" for CC players that wish to play with it off?

Don't forget that ghosting players can also give almost every info you need too. You never know how it's gonna turn, but it's more than often enough to tell you about a big break on the green, bumps in fairways. I was doing it in TST. Gives great infos, but mess with your personnal tempo as it takes an hour playing a round with 3 ghosts.

Will lobby Matt10 for some public burnings

Most of our settings are set that way. For example, you can play our main tours with green grids off if you so choose - it's been that way since the start. We only lock it in if there's an easier setting available than the one we're using.

I'm just a CC-A player (and probably a marginal one at that) but I just played the Elite event with Legend swing mode and Temp off and have to say that I found it to be much much easier than Pro swing with Tempo on. I think it is a good move to de-emphasize the role of Tempo but to eliminate it completely would be a wrong turn. Having said that, I did find it fun to plan out a shot (wind, slope, lie etc.) and have confidence that I would be able to execute it pretty much on the nose. Made dialing in the distance pretty easy to do so course setup and conditions would play a huge factor. W/O tempo, it would really let a lot more players from all platforms compete but it would be nothing more than a chipping and putting contest IMO.

I thought I'd enjoy the no scout cam. But found it took away from the course. I'd like to see the scout cam stay. Still not a fan of the move to Pro, but will accept whatever changes are made.

Kinetic Tour - No Lie Grid Test @ Royal Northumberland
-5 E. I enjoyed the event. I struggled with tempo in 2nd rd. A few times the game just sat there after a hole and eventually gave me some type of error message before continuing on. I shut the game down and restarted and things improved a bit. Just out of curiousity, would this be considered a CC or PRO level course/set-up?

CC-J player here. I have never played without scout cam before but played pretty good in CC test. Shot -10 first rd. Which is better than most rds for me. I know its easier on pro & would be hard on a tight course but it was pretty good fun.

Xbox1 player here. CC-L. Shot +2 on 1st round Test but had 6 birdies. Really struggled trying to take something off full shots without Scout. Like the NO Lie grid. I want the Scout - playing blind without it or it will require a practice round with detailed notes. Don't want to spend that much time playing the game. Plus the Scout lets you enjoy the scenery and skill that went into designing the course more than just a horizon view on each shot.
Plus, wish I had a dollar for everytime I hit "Y" while playing to get Scout.... haha

Is the easy answer to all of this really just to turn off the tempo?
That is the root cause of the platform imbalance that is being addressed, yes?
Turn off the lie grid too to add something back to the difficulty.
I’m not sure about the Scout Cam thing yet. I need to play it before having an honest opinion on it.
I’ll be giving the test events a go on my stream later today with PS5. If the overhead yardage book view is still there (circle button), no scout cam might be a good adjustment also.
