RULES• There will be difficulty settings applied but since we don't have the game yet those will be determined later • Treat your teammate and the rest of the competitors with respect
Any idea yet in which direction you are heading with the difficulty setting yet? Great question and a good time to touch base here with everybody. So there is a bug with the Socities right now that prevents the difficulty settings from being enforced so if they don’t patch that in the next week I will have to delay the start of the season. Regarding difficulty settings I’m thinking I will have pro difficulty with some aids on for the Heaven round and then Master difficulty with aids off on the hell round. Still evaluating this but I think we’ve got a great opportunity here with the ability to set these setting up each round to really have some fun with this.

Ah, I got skipped over. Nice. Skinnie had committed verbally to me before he posted on the forum and before you. His forum post was just late. Hang tight though because I’m willing to bet a few who signed up won’t actually play since it’s been awhile. Happens every season.

Hi, Vuick can have my spot if that helps. I'm simply not ready to play at Masters level. Going to concentrate getting proficient at Pro level with aids off before I consider stepping up a grade.

Come on Ben, I am in the same boat - +45 for the first CC exhibition event, and I am still in! You can and will improve and almost everybody is going to be worse than they were in 2019.

To be honest Mike I haven't got the time to invest in it. Got a lot of other things on. I'm enjoying Pro level, I'll try Masters if and when I'm ready. The game is great but I'm just not ready to be forced up a level. Perhaps I never will be. We all have our limitations. I think I scored +43. Did I enjoy it? No. If I want a challenge I've got plenty of them IRL at the moment!! Pixel golf I do for a bit of a release!

Me, as a retired old fart don't have a lot of distractions, so I will press on.

Hey sorry to hear that but I totally understand and appreciate you letting me know now rather than after the season started. You’re always welcome back if you should change your mind.

As you has a ready made replacement I didn't feel so bad. Tried jumping straight in with Masters but, for me anyway, I need to learn the game at pro level before taking the step up in competition. The tournament concept is brilliant and I shall follow it with interest.

I've been told there is a workaround for the society difficulty bug so I'm gonna push ahead and give this a shot.
Before we go any further is there anybody who wants to bail out now for whatever reason? Look I get it life happens and commitments change but as this is a team event and is really hard to replace people mid season I'd rather have you back out now than 2 weeks into the season because the game is frustrating. I won't judge you if you don't want to but if we get rolling and you bail I will get cranky!! I'm also doing stat research now so the sooner the better if you decide not to play.
Alright doom and gloom stuff out of the way, lets get to it. The Heaven & Hell society is officially open on PC! I set it to private so you will have to request access to join, please do so as soon as you can so I can admit you. I only really have time in the evenings to accept applications so don't fret if you apply and don't get accepted right away.
I'm going to be setting up some exhibition events over the next week and a half or so up to the start of the season on Sunday September 6th. They're going to be short in duration, 1-2 days maybe 3-4 because I need to test out the settings and make sure this actually works. Feel free to hop in and play if you so choose. None of them are required.
Lastly, and most importantly, I will in fact be setting the difficulty to different settings throughout the season. Heaven will be Pro at worst and may even drop it lower occasionally for some truly heavenly fun and Hell will be no less than Master with chance of Legendary when I'm feeling dastardly (no I won't do it more than 1-2 times......maybe). The point is I want this to be fun and different so if this isn't your cup of tea, well maybe the Unicorns and Rainbows society is the one for you!
Alright that's it for now, get out there and smack some golf balls!

Hmmm ok one major issue just popped up. You can't set the difficulty settings by round. This means I have two options, I can pick one difficulty setting and we use that for all rounds and all players which is how we've done this in the past. The course settings are what make the difficulty for heaven vs hell in this option.
The other option is to break up the week into two events and have Heaven run Sunday to Wednesday and then Hell runs Thursday to Saturday. Same course but that way the difficulty settings are usable for each round. I'll put up a poll and see what you guys think. Ultimately I will decide but it'll give me a feel for where you guys feel we should go.
