(yawn) Guessing your lie isn't realistic. On an actual course you can feel the lie. I challenge you all to play with your tv/monitors off. Lol. Just silly. Straight up, fella.

Can't wait. I can't miss the cut, right?

Played Trump International by Colinmafia with USE settings,beautiful course,played just one round with a mixture of pins,so don’t know if all pin sets are fair.Enjoying playing this way,never really played casual rounds before,didn’t seem much point but with these settings it’s a good challenge just to try and break par.I already play in 3 other societies with no putting marker so that feels completely normal for me but having to try & hit shots without using loft box is completely new to me & I love it,so much more realistic,watching the ball dissappear towards the green is just the icing on the cake,yum yum. 😁

Played an IRL round today and overall it was a depressing trainwreck (in my defence my hands were freezing, also the ground was wet, plus I reckon Pablo probably caused some lag on the course somehow), but despite that I had a handful of beautifully-executed shots that went exactly as I wanted them. As I hinted at in the video, this is the biggest joy of playing ultra sim for me: it offers me the deluded fantasy of seeing what I could play like on famous courses if all my shots, not just an infuriatingly small percentage, were struck perfectly (and if I added about 20% carry distance to every club lol). I really hope HB brings out a VR version at some point, that would really take simming it up to the next level.

The Golf Club VR is a pretty good golf game and much more difficult than the non VR game (for me anyway). Love the way it shows your swing plane and club head speed, it 's not perfect but great fun. I would actually play the Oculus Rift more of it wasn't such a chore moving the PC desktop to the lounge to play games that need ample room. Also playing Dirt Rally for more than 10 minutes makes me feel sick

Even though I played terribly in my PGA rounds this morning, decided to go ahead and stream my ultra sim rounds, finished on -6 so achieved my target of finishing under par - thanks mainly to an absolute belter of a 3rd round! -8 is my all-time best round with these settings Overall not too displeased, my FIR was god-awful, my GIR better than I expected and my putting about average for me with no grids: Not sure why proximity to hole stats didn't register, might be something to do with the course? Can someone check their stats after they're done to see if they're missing that stat as well please? Anyway, best of luck all!

I just finished my 1st round and finished E for the round. Easily the most fun and most immersive realistic way to play in my opinion. Scrambling for Par felt so good. Watching my tee shots fly over the hill not knowing exactly where its going to end up was so realistic. This game truly shines playing this way. Also, the course has so much more meaning and you really appreciate the approach and greens that these designers put so much effort in to creating. I love it! Thanks for setting this society up. Also, for the life of me, I cannot figure out why HB didn't make it an option to force off follow cam and loft box. This really needs to be an option that can be forced off. The only bad part, I don;t know if I can go back to playing any other way now!

The only bad part, I don;t know if I can go back to playing any other way now! I'd hope that at least the follow cam would be an extremely easy fix, however it looks like HB have definitely been moving in a certain direction with the game, and are unlikely to put in any additional effort for the very small minority of sim-minded players. But hopefully if this multiplatform society develops a decent-sized fanbase in the next few weeks we can at least take it to the HB forum, that this is the most realistic and most fun for a lot of us to play the game, and ask for these changes to be in their next patch. It's just another camera option (scout cam can be turned off by societies so why not follow cam?) after all. Loft box might be trickier as it's such a core mechanic of the game, but they can disable shot feedback so hopefully they can at least look into disabling the loft box as well.

This society proves that the game is extremely playable without loft box I've just got a feeling those stubborn chaps at HBS refuse to give us the option to turn it off as they feel everyone should play the game the same way. Well at least we have the option to turn off grids and putting marker, I do feel putting with no putting marker is by far the best option for realistic putting. I tend to use the side cameras from an angle to check the slope behind the flag as unfortunately the reverse camera doesn't pull back from the hole enough

One thing I have to say for HBS is I was one of the ones badgering them repeatedly to have the option to turn off ball labels on TGC 2 and they did thankfully give the option in a later patch.
