Found this on the HB forum for playing turn based live in a society round......... Playing Society rounds turn based:
(see above) Added instructions to opening post so it can be found easily. These instructions via Mike G (Eric) are far clearer so consider editing the OP update........ Playing Society rounds turn based:
Head into the society like you always do, and begin your first round by hitting the first tee shot. The guy you're playing with needs to do that same thing. Then at that point, hit the menu button to bring up the "pause" menu, and then tab over to the Social tab. Once there, in the third column there should be 4 slots, with your name on top. Click on the second space, then click on Live Rivals, and your buddy's gamertag should show up on the list of people playing right at that moment since you both teed off. Click on his name to add him to the group as a Live Rival, then go back to the main tab and resume your round. The shots you hit from that point forward should have both of you in the group (sometimes you have to actually hit your second shot, and then your buddy shows up starting on the third shot). |

Final round singles vs Carol. Very evenly matched. We tied total scores the week before and we were both -20 after 3 rounds at Amaroo. I had a score to settle 'cos Carol bested me in the BillyBudd Cup. Although to be fair, Greg did his best to give me the half  Pleased to say I had my best round at Amaroo to take the points and even up the head to head, making up a little for my pathetic 2nd round at Dam Klopps (Seriously Sam Riotous I think you'll be getting a call from Eric to trick your course up a bit for some DAM shenanigans) GREG
Round 4 TGCT
-9 |

Fellow Parrots... May I bring to your attention a small but significant change to my forum profile. I have altered my avatar name from Sam to SAM to represent better that they are my real name initials ( Simon Anthony Morris). Hopefully this will go someway to eradicating the confusion with fellow Parrot member Riotous Sam Pond. Feel free to address me as SAM or Simon or Mr Perfect Slow both here or in game should our paths cross on the interweb. Best regards, SAM (Spanish Inquisition team). |

With great anticipation Mike strode to the 1st in his home event, feeling refreshed after his 2 week lay off from the tour. Mike would start out with a perfect Drive and promptly ask for his 8i, once again perfectly hit but somehow the ball falls short and plugs into the wall of the bunker, Mike looked at his club and discovers that he in fact has his 9i in hand, Mike's caddie say's omg sorry pal I thought it was the 8, Mike somehow manages to get the ball onto the green and saves par, 2nd hole same as the 1st once again his caddie gives him the wrong clubs and his approach shot sails the green, this time there was no avoiding bogie. This would continue for the rest of the the front 9 with Mike insisting for the most part to grab his own clubs, birdies on 3, 4 & 5 and another chance of birdie on 9 to only find his caddie sneezed during his putt and the ball rolls just to the right, par. -3 after nine and his round now in complete disarray. A heated argument had broke out between Mike and his caddie only to be interrupted by fellow team mate Simon A. Morris ( SAM ) with Mike's real caddie in tow and ripping off the the fake mask worn by the impostor. Leon ( Loftyando ) watching on in the gallery was herd to say we have way's to make him talk Mike. with the impostor now taken to The Spanish Inquisition locker room to be tortured asked politely for the truth, Mike could now resume his round and try to get back into this match, 5 straight birdies on 11 through 15 and an eagle on 18 and Mike had started to play his brand of golf again, alas his -10 would fall just short of what was needed. Round 1: -10After only minutes of Torture polite Inquisition from Simon & Leon the Impostor revealed that it was in fact (Roman) Sam Pond ( Riotous ) who had put him up to it, Dirty tricks indeed. with a round 4th match-up with Mike still to come that will surely be a match to watch. |

Event 2 at Kloop's Dam
Round 1 -13. This round felt like I'd won the premier league title
Round 2 -3. This round I was relegated to the championship league. Everything worked well in R1 and nothing and I mean nothing worked well in R2. I really enjoyed the course and added it to my favourites.

Singles Event
Feeling like I had to perform and seeing some very good scores posted I gave the Premiership Trophy a rub (that’s not a euphemism you filthy minded scally) in the locker room and strode with confidence to the tee.
Yes I missed some opportunities but I also holed a couple of curlers. Fell into my own wet trap on 18 but walked away happy on -11
Round One wind was supposed to help and Round Two wasn’t.
To cut a boring story short I could only Par two of the Par 5’s so I finished on -9, which I’m very happy with.
Oh and I hit the tree on that stupid 14th hole. Numpty designer

Amaroo round 3 : Man, I just have nothing for this course. Once again, hit the ball really well for the most part and just couldn't convert anything. I only had two tempo issues the entire round, but naturally they managed to come at the worst possible times. One off the tee on a par 4 putting me OB and forcing a re-tee that led to a juicy double and the other plugged me in a vertical face of a sand trap and led to another bogey. Played decently the rest of the round, but once again just couldn't get any putts to drop. I miss low side 3 times in a row by a micrometer, adjust my line a bit on the next one and miss high. I just cannot find the range on this course. Rallied a bit towards the end but the 3 dropped shots were too much to overcome and Marc's brilliant round was never threatened.
R3: -7 (65)
Klopp's Dam round 1 : Another course I really enjoyed - challenging, but fair, much like Amaroo. Birdies seemed tough to come by, especially when your putter is ice cold. With better touch on the greens, it could have been a really good round, but was still rolling along decently when an unfortunate bounce/lie led to a bogey midway through the back 9. This is not a course you can afford to drop many shots on, especially with the wind in your face on the long par 5s. Eagles were not there to be had with the pro clubs. Still managed 10 chirps, which felt pretty solid, but left me with...
R1 : -9 (63)
Within spitting distance of the leaders, but seeing how scores dropped off significantly for many in round 2 means the conditions are apparently much tougher. I'll really need to screw up something good to gain the requisite ground.

Terrible start to my Parrots career & already I'm apologising to my teammates especially my pairs partner Loftyando Round 1: Had The Romans in sight needing a birdie on the 18th to split the points... water ball approach put paid to that & finished 3 strokes behind on -1.
Round 2: Chasing 8 under par in the friendlier conditions... looking good at the turn only for disaster to strike on the short par 4, 10th.... tried to cut too much off the tee shot (water). Reset & played too safe ending up in the heavy rough through the fairway... Mr Perfect slow came to visit on the approach & I found the sand... out, only just & rolled back into the light rough surround... flop hit a Roman wall of raised shields & promptly ended up at my feet... finally made the green in 7.... missed the Roman Snowman putt & walked off with a 9 on my card.. 3 under to 2 over in one hole. Rallied but no where near enough to finish up -3.If you want to watch that complete disaster hole in all its glory fire up my Twitch, past broadcast & fast forward to 1hr 39min 30secs... (the chat were in stitches - my teammates believe they've been stitched up)  Element 1 Paired rounds Greg......   |

Once again my own course haunts me on the front 9, 3 missed birdie putts under 8ft, -4 at the turn. Played much better on the back 9 missing only 1 real birdie chance. Here's hoping I can play the front nine the way know I can play it. Because as it stands were looking at a blob team blob so far.
Round 2: -12

A Team Blob? Is that a first - I suppose it must be if this is week 1?  Wait Carol secured a point in round 3 (singles). Back to individual Blobs for the rest of us...... |

Found this on the HB forum for playing turn based live in a society round......... Playing Society rounds turn based:
Host sets up & all join an in game party. Then all fire up the society event and go to the first tee separately. Give it a minute or two whilst you all play your first two shots of the first hole & then go to pause menu & group. Hit X (or whatever) on friend & choose add to group. Step by Step:
All enter the society lobby. Host invites the others into an in game party. All go to the 1st tee. All take your tee shots. Host now goes to the group tab. The people you invited have to show as “ playing” this may take another shot or two before it appears. Once you see your buddies as “playing” then click on their name and the “ add to group “ option will appear. Add them. And then make sure turn order is on. The people invited do the same steps. Now you are all playing in the same round. Can anyone ( Art Vandelay ) confirm this? Having done this very thing on PC with Mr. Vandelay in various societies, I can confirm that this works (also on PS4). You can chit chat on Discord on PC and through a live party on PS4, where, like on Discord, any of your non-playing buddies can still join the chat. Huge potential here. Slight clarification. In my experience I have had all add everyone to their groups on the first tee, before hitting any shots. But this works too. Best way to play IMO, builds camaraderie and friendships. Onward! |
