Hmm, guessing this course for the final exhibition tournament was a bit of a quick fix. Found this lovely pin in round 2.   Playing a fun round last night with pins #2 and came across that also |

What's a PC? Anyone old enough to remember "Mean 18" (IBM)? "Leaderboard Golf" (Commodore 64)? I'm old enough to remember leaderboard 64 😁 Sadly, I am as well, actually had the game. I don't miss those floppy disk (5.75 disks) load times!! LOL |

Well R1 +19 I'm ready to go lol (master clubs) I'll use (pro clubs) for R2 and go from there. Very impressed this course design, it even triggered my fear of heights lol. . Play Valmont.(Velmont?) Also designed by Artic Fury if you want fear of heights |

I don't know; I'm only working with Dan on the regular season schedule. Ok thanks, Patrick. Valmont final tune-up is from the white tees (7300ish yard) per Doyley. Can't remember if I saw that in a thread or he mentioned it in the shoutbox. But I do remember that being said. |

It's more about making sure that HB's update isn't broken, that all the data comes over via the API - including scores, statistics, and controller inputs - and that players have time to adjust to the Fair Play Policy, if needed. yea, was more of a joke than anything. It's been 3 days? They couldn't change anything now, could they? I mean, honestly I liked it before the change. Had to think about where to land the ball. This is just TGC2 with crappier 45-60 yd options. And the greenside bunker % is WAY off. I found pre-patch more fun. I'm with you on this - now that the lofts have all been nerfed, I find that on a "normal" shot with a lob wedge even at full loft it is impossible to get any backspin - it's one bounce & stop or stop dead - no back spin at all, which is poor. Before the patch I had my wedge game well figured out knowing exactly how much loft to add to get a certain carry & snapping back towards the hole - this is no longer possible as far as I can tell and in all honesty it now feels like throwing darts as the roll-on has also been massively reduced which frankly sucks big time. All those who were moaning about the roll only needed to think about where to land the ball - not every hole should be a birdie opportunity, and the patch has set things up so that you have very little to lose by going flag hunting on every hole. It just feels dumbed down to me although I do confess that this may well be a case of severely sour grapes because all the hours I spent getting everything sorted out, knowing what swing strength (half & 3/4 shots were figuring highly for me) and loft I needed to use a lobber and get it way up in the air or 50 yards with backspin - now even at full loft with a full swing it flies a good 85 yards, bounces & stops dead. I really wish they had addressed genuine problems though - for example, where is the bunker shot option where I can choose how much sand I take? Why are fairway bunkers from good lies (where it ought to be possible to pick it off the sand) seeing a 25-30% penalty? Where is my option to move the tee position on the box? Where is the option for having the ball further back or forward in my stance? Still - it is what it is and HB will not change it. |

There are always weekly Q-School events during the regular season that play out of the CC-Pro Society. All of season 4 had this. I don't know if it will be EXACTLY the same, but last year you were compared to the CC-A leaderboard, specifically the exemption line (I think). Depending on your score vs that line, you were placed accordingly. Keep in mind I don't know the exact details and am giving you an idea. But there is always a chance to earn a card after the initial Q School.

Not dominating the speed of clubs, it makes it impossible to play in fields with islands. Many balls in the water ... But the interesting thing is to see that some players are excellent! What they do in a round I did not do in the four sums ... WEB will be a prize for me ... And I thought I could play in the PGA ... Doyle - How do I know if I passed the API test?  |

Just to be clear... I and the other tgctours noobs want to make sure that we are supposed to register. Some say everyone is automatically registered but all the official posts I’ve seen say newbies must register for q-school. With that said, we still are unable to do so from the main Tgctours page. When will that become available? I’d hate to miss out due to a miscommunication.
