It's my understanding that TGC2 in Tour Pro mode will have longer club distances. This will affect course design moving forward and I've started accounting for that with Bacarra Golf Club.
Anyone have an idea of those distances? I think Driver will go around 280-300?

I just hope they get rid of the silly lofting on the clubs. That is so unrealistic to me. A 7 iron should go the same distance, unless you swing slower. that's the only flaw in this game to me. Well, that and the wind affecting chips.

Easy is 240 Normal is same 265 Tour is 280 Yea, that's where i was remembering that from, good job Gdog. So how will this affect course design moving forward? I'm not sure to many will gear designs towards the Easy level, or even too many on normal? Will TGCTours put PGA/Euro on Tour, Web on Normal and CC on Easy?

I'm not sure to many will gear designs towards the Easy level, or even too many on normal? Will TGCTours put PGA/Euro on Tour, Web on Normal and CC on Easy? its best you/me/and the rest of us gear all courses for all 3 swing modes. in other words, make realistic tracks for a change. we will have up to 5 tee boxes, 3 swing modes, and guessing up to 5 pin positions to spank in each course. thats quite a few combinations for the end user golfers to choose from, so if you have a course tricked out to only be played fairly from the tips and for a player only using tour swing, you will not like your results with others want to tee it up much closer and use a different swing. designing realistic tracks will be the thing, generous landing zones for the guys hitting off the tee boxes (all of them) and more realistic greens because the average first putt will be a good % farther compared to the average first putt distance in tgc1. there will be no more "design for 265" to fall back on when it comes to making your course hard, if you design for the new tour pro distance and only that, your course will be a garbage fest. a dumpster fire. a sh!tstorm. thats my 2 cents, do i get any change back?

It will definitely lead to more realistic courses because wind will still need to be considered from all tees as well as the shots "supposedly" will not be as easy to get pinpoint shot off the tee or fairway (we'll see how long it takes for people to overcome that lol).

Well, that and the wind affecting chips. I'm all for that if the swing mechanic itself is good enough that partial swings can be made consistent enough that you can account for in between club distances. I'm no pro at this game so maybe I'm missing something. But I can never get a partial swing accurate enough to be effective. But the lofting is pretty silly. Feels like something they added late when they realized there was no real way to consistently control distances in between clubs. But it agree that the new setup should force designers to create less tricked up courses. Seems like most I play are designed around trying to make whatever the standard club distances hard. Drop a bunch of bunkers around 260 to give puny landing areas. Par 3's designed in between the 3 iron and 5 wood distance everywhere. My biggest hope for the designer is they calm down the firm and fast settings the designers seem to love so much. Watching some of the Scottsdale tournament today. On a course in middle of desert they are able to stop the ball. Don't see them landing off the green then bouncing on and rolling a mile.

scottsdale isnt a links course, it would never be played as such either, thats why you dont see the players playing bump and run there from distance.

Of course it's not. Neither are the vast majority of courses those settings are used on in TGC.
