Wow, they censored a completely arbitrary name yet again? SMH. At least I know how to handle things going forward.

That Barstool event is what I was concerned about, they have such a big audience. It’s obviously unfortunate, but at this point it seems about right that this would be HB’s priority and not fixing bugs. Definitely disappointing that this could be a recurring issue and not just TGC19 and Magnolia exclusively. Wish Augusta would get over themselves since everyone knows what the course looks like anyways, and they have plenty of money.

At least if the game sells really well, their licensing budget will increase. If EA could do it, 2k surely can. Who knows? Or maybe having to remove Firethorn ten more times will make them do it.

I wish the ANGC people would get a life, and HB/2k would grow a spine. I understand not allowing courses named Augusta National and tournaments called The Masters in the game, but beyond that, who cares? The biggest thing is, nobody is even making money on it... CLV isnt making money on it, 2K/HB isnt making money on it. Barstool and anyone else isnt making money on it. Why does it matter? 2K's biggest game, NBA2K, has a jersey and court creator where people are literally making jerseys and courts for college teams, euro teams, etc. and none of the colleges have come in and said anything. No other golf course has stepped in and shut down a RCR. Literally the only entity, in general, that is doing this is ANGC.

Can I give some love for Merion?
Seriously you can use irons off many of the par4s. There’s nothing like it.

Each and every time the "brand" is presented, outside of the approved and highly directed coverage window, it cheapens the brand and makes it less valuable. If every crumb you get of ANGC is special, it skyrockets the brand value. I think that's backwards, of course, and that any publicity you get these days is good publicity, especially if people are dedicating their own free time to showcase your product. I think some of the things ANGC has done, like the old rounds on YouTube and having every shot available to view shows they are turning a corner... somewhat. When it comes to name, image, and likeness, however, I think they will continue to be stubborn.

So... not to be “that guy”, but in a way, 2K/HB could be making money on it. They could conceivably advertise or otherwise promote that you can get this game and play “all the greatest courses in the world!” Not gonna lie, this is a huge, huge draw for me personally. I absolutely love that I can see so many great exclusive courses (Fishers Island and Cypress Point are personal favorites from the previous game). If 2K had eliminated the course creator, I, for one, would not have purchased the game. That said, this is unbelievably stupid and selfish by ANGC. There is no conceivable way allowing this hurts them. It makes them look like the petty elitist a##!0#ls that didn’t allow African American membership until 1990 or female membership until 2012. It is bizarre to me that they could actually win a lawsuit against 2K/HB over this, but that’s the problem... they don’t even have to win. All they have to do is threaten to file and it sends everyone running scared.

Just published St Andrews Links - Old.
No tournament objects this time, I'm going to publish a separate version for that. I replaced all old brushes with splines to make things smoother, redid every bunker to make them a little closer to pot bunkers (as much as the game will allow), and redid a few buildings here and there.
Personally, my favorite wind (if the designer was not lying to me) if from the North. This puts you into the wind going out and with the wind coming home.
Next up will be the Reverse course, which is quick and easy, and then a tourney version.

I don't know if this is the best way to do pot bunkers or not, but I basically just used the same method that I used for flat, sod-faced bunkers like in a MacRaynor such as Shoreacres (although those bunkers are quite shallow for a Raynor).

This version looked amazing in 2k21. Definitely the best STA version I've seen in a golf game.

The Reverse Old Course is now published.
It's pretty much the same setup as TGC19, although I embraced the shortness of the routing (compared to the regular routing) and made several of the par 4s driveable, rather than trying to extend them.
