If there is already a thread about this I apologize but I did not see one.
I just finished round one on PS4 using the default Masters settings with distance meters off. Firstly, some masochist decided to choose this for the first time out with the new game - I think I had about 80% BIR (that stands for bunkers-in-regulation). The 15 mph winds didn't help either. I didn't find the putting to be as much of a problem as it seems some folks have, but you do have to pull back the stick slowly and not very far. The tempo was the big killer for me, and chipping out of the rough. I am going to have to do some serious practice on the chipping because the distances shown just don't jibe with my results - the ball seems to not roll very far at all, which is fine but will take some getting used to.
Anyway, I made the turn with a 49, but did manage to right the ship a little on the back and finish with a fabulous 88!
ONWARD!

Is this a society thing?

Yes Kenny, They are regular TGCTours societies set up by the Admins. I did not post this in the Societies forum or the CC forum because it does not really fit yet.

Not sure if this is for the pro-am event or the CC event, but since they are being combined together (I think?), I'll post this here. Irony of this shot is I JUST watched a replay of Snedeker's shot at the Wyndham....only his stayed in.

I thought the admins set the difficulty level in the society for these events, I ended up still playing Pro difficulty and still scoring poorly. There were scores on the leaderboard of -16 under a round surely they must have been using an easier difficulty setting or I might as well walk away from the tours now.

Les for this exhibition event I do not think they set a difficulty level. I believe Doyley said he wanted to see what the scores were for people using any Difficulty level. I am sure they will set difficulty on the real Q School and Tour events.

I finished the 4 rounds at Even but I think it kept my Pro settings rather than switching to Masters.

I've sacrificed my dignity (if I had any lol) for the good of TGCTours api tests in the CCAM event. I went into round 2 at 17 over..by the end of round 3 was at 25 over. Ended up at 23 over for the 4 rounds but had my best round yet in 21 and shot under par with a 68. First time under par with this game.
Master, shot meter off.
Congrats to the guy who finished at -50 lol?

I just completed Round two of the exhibition. Feeling better about myself and the game - 2 birdies, 7 pars and only one double bogey for a 78. Ten strokes better than round one and my first time breaking 80! I even managed three perfects in a row, and hit more fairways than bunkers off the tee. Granted, the winds were friendlier, but still it is not easy.

Difficulty levels are locked at masters but there is a society bug where it's not enforced. Hb working on a fix and we will not be starting until its implemented.
In the meantime enjoy the golf just know that the settings aren't currently being enforced properly.

Is that bug affecting just society default difficulty or any event-specific custom difficulty? I'm just curious for my own society.

Definitely Society Default - haven't tested even specific difficulty but there's a good chance that will work. Easiest way to test is to lock it to a difficulty (say Master) and then change your personal difficulty to Beginner and hit up the first tee and see if the swing plane looks like a 6-lane highway.

Thanks. Unfortunately I am mid-test event using Society Default so can't test set difficulty for a few days.
