Depends on how you play it. If you do it the right way and only play turn based ghosts, it’s fun I think. I rarely use more than one ghost because it’s pretty slow going sometimes. I tend to score similarly in TST and USE because I’m not a huge user of the loftbox even when it’s allowed, it’s my putting that’s letting me down in both sim formats. I think I moved past caring what other people shoot a while ago. My rivals all play the right way, some are way better than me now, some are worse - but I love the fact I shoot realistic scores with Master clubs, closing out a good round feels just as awesome as the rounds you hold on for a +3 or 4 when it could have been worse. I’ve always wanted a golf game where I shoot realistic scores and I think I have it. They can only get better as we all get older. The only place I’m competitive is on a level playing field which for me is the BCT. I’ve never been much chop at reading greens on here but I’m a good reader IRL, so I don’t hate the grids. The more I’m playing Sim the better I’m getting at reading without them though, so there may come a time I prefer them off. Don’t pet the sweaty stuff 😂 It's great that you have rivals there. It's got to make playing TST far more fun. I wonder if it's worth me trying to find a new rival over there. I know Gavin is there, and Leon is there, but they're here, too, and here is where I'd rather play against them. I know Jeff Freeman from the old F-Troop days, and he might be interested. Ray, do you have room in your rival gang for a new member? I'm on PS4, so that might DQ me right off the bat. NB: Making the cut in TST using USE rules would be an achievement. On any platform. I would be your rival but I'm on Xbox. I could play TST using USE but making cuts would be another story lol.

I would be your rival but I'm on Xbox. I could play TST using USE but making cuts would be another story lol. We were teammates and then rivals in F-Troop/E-nemies and we did it cross-platform because the TGCTours API made it easy. Maybe do it again in TST? I'll stay with USE rules, but you can add as many TST assists as you want. I don't mind. (Here's why I don't mind. My best video golfing friend in the UK still has the grids turned on. The only aids he's not using on a regular basis are the scout cam and follow cam. His putting is way better than mine (I should hope so with grids on) but my tee-to-green and short game are better than his. We both use Master clubs. I play all my rounds with USE settings. Surprisingly, we win about the same number of matches, he and I.) I think the only thing missing in our rivalry, Wade, would be playing each other's ghost.

We both play USE with No aids on, even shot feedback off.....I would enjoy playing you on TST with USE rules. The last 5 times we played he won 3 and I somehow won 2. He is a really good USE player. When he wins he smashes me lol. Yep it would be nice if we could play ghosts cross platform. I went back to Master Clubs when I rejoined USE. I don't use the Loft Box in TST anyway. I've found that with Master Clubs what bit of distance I gain using the LB I lose it with offline distance. The swing plane gets really narrow lol.If you want to rumble let me know and I will start playing USE on TST and we can compare scores! It's not like I would ever win on there lol. Edit: Just now thinking, if we are going to do that we can just do it here on USE lol. I see what you mean though about not being able to play each other's ghost. That would suck. Oh well. We can just compare scores here on USE.

You're right, we could just do it here in USE, but TST has different courses and setups and we can compare scorecards and stats even if we can't play ghosts. The only drawback to trying that would be having to fit 8 rounds in per week instead of just 4, but that could easily get reduced to 6 when I fail to make the cut in TST! So what do you think? Should we give TST a go? Maybe suck in a few non-USE, ex-F'ers/D'ers/E'ers/G'ers? And what about you, Mr. Former Mayor Art Vandelay ? I know I drank all the hooch that you had stashed in City Hall; do you still hold a grudge about that? Or did your stint as State Senator in CC-C (or CC-B or whatever the heck it was) make you too good to hang with the likes of us? I've done such a crap job as deputy mayor that the voters are clamoring for you to come back. I told 'em to F-off! EDIT: @sirwade59 I forgot to mention that match play in TST sounds great! Stroke play in USE, match play in TST. Really good idea!

So are you saying we're getting the band back together? lol

Stroke play in USE, match play in TST. Really good idea! Sounds great to me Jeff, Match play TST and Stroke play USE! We are thinking about bringing a team event, combined Stroke play like the World Cup of Golf and maybe a matchplay event also. These will need to be organised and people commit to playing. Handicaps actually give us the opportunity to mix up skill levels for the team event. Everyone would need to post scorecards for matchplay and would need 16 people to make a proper competition.

I'm in as well! Someone would have to be kind enough to show an old man how to post his scorecard. I know how to take a screenshot on Xbox but I don't know what to do with it after that lol.

I upload them to Twitter (an option that comes up for me), then post a link (copy and paste) If it’s an issue I’ll play on XB after I’ve played on PC and post a screenshot of your scores 👍
Count me in for PC from here on please 🙏🏼 I’ll only play on XB once all rounds are complete and for no other reason than fun and/or to post others’ score.

Willing to do some shoddy write ups, ask the others here about my ability.
