Thanks Craig, that full shot eagle kicked my game into gear, putter got a little bit hot on the back 9 😁. Watched horuspheonix's stream on Helsinki round 4, impressed with his game also. Didn't know there were so many good XBox Ulta Sim players out there. Do any more of you guys stream your USE rounds?. I will get the multi platform leaderboard up today as I been busy at work so didn't have a chance the last few days, seems you're in the hunt for a second victory with your great score this week😉 Yeah your putter really took off that back nine! Thanks, I've hit a really good run of form these last couple of weeks. Think it's the excitement of the new mode as much as anything! We've had a decent group all year for sure, in no small part to Longpole (and a couple others) running the sim societies well. For one reason or another a lot of the guys never played TGC Tours True Sim Tour though which is a shame. Aside from me and Horus, Golnor streams on twitch and he usually takes one of us as a ghost. His twitch tag is 'G0lnor' (with a zero) and I think Horus and I would both agree he's a much more comfortable streamer than us lol I think sometimes it comes across as USE is this elitist society with these absolute rules. Actually USE to me is actually a society that not only strives to play this game realistically but also have a real golf society feel. We have had handicap leaderboards based on 18 hole average score and even a handicap Ryder Cup style team compo with fourballs and foursomes and single matches. What I have noticed is the great vibe you Xbox sim players have, the banter the respect for good shots in the streams and the laugh you guys have. That's cyber golf for me , I play in a real life society and that's all about the same thing, with probably too much drinking also  . Longpoles' society sounds superb, I'd be there if I was on Xbox. TST seems a bit quiet on the forums and unfortunately our sim boards seem to be also lately, would be great if Horus and longpole got more involved and get some round commantary course feedback etc going again. I have to say I can't believe the scores you Xbox guys are posting up on USE, so, so impressed. I have to say a big thanks to zzfr33b1rdzz for keeping the Xbox society going especially when he was the only player. Who would of thought that Xbox would be the most active USE society now  |

I know exactly what you mean. It's really hard to sell this type of play without coming across elitist or whatever. But I think we're all in the same boat of simply finding that it adds to our enjoyment of the game.
Haha yeah there are a lot of good players floating about and I think Rastaman started and has yet to finish. He's more than capable of going very low too. Just a heads-up I'll probably miss this week with being a little busy in work.

Glad to see more playing now. USE is not for everyone, I get it, hell not even sure it's for me still, LOL
I would agree with Craig though, it does add a whole new way to play and enjoy the game.

That guy Golnor until recently streamed True Sim Tour every week Freebird, and for a long time when it was still on masters and the three of us (and Ridoc Prime) were the only ones playing he took us all as ghosts. You played plenty of fantastic rounds, definitely good enough to play these settings. But as you know it's weird on Xbox and when you don't play as much it slips a little and I know you said you're playing F1 a lot now so it's understandable scores would suffer a bit. I've been dipping my toe into some sim-racers these last six months (F1, Assetto Corsa, Dirt Rally) and for what it's worth I'm DEFINITELY not good enough to play them the way I do LOL but yeah, it's great fun anyway! |

Hey gents , Really enjoying the new way of playing its just a shame that we can't convert a few more to true sim and I've tried so much in the past by dropping on social boards on tgc tours to come and give it a shout with just a little practice with the greens it's way more fun but just can't get them away from the tgc tours target golf syndrome. So like it has been for the last 5 years on this game its always the same dozen or so players that stay with the true sim format , I hope they can include the feedback option into the difficulty settings and a few more 2 . I've joined the pro society and I'll give it a bash now and again as I'm a masters player to heart , it's a shame I've always wanted 25 regular players spilt into 2 divisions with promotion and relegation and been close to achieving that but hey hoy , I'll just carry on playing till the new game drops as usual, good luck out there boys and girls

Yes would be nice to have the option to lock off shot feedback especially as practice swing gives shot percentage feedback. Be good to see you on the Pro leaderboards also as that has been a hard one to find participation for, like you I have always preferred Master but can get enjoyment out of Pro. Good to have you on the Tour |

Good to have you on the Tour You would think that USE would provide them the perfect place to play Masters difficulty for TST players that don't like (or feel challenged) Pro difficulty. Especially the Pro Tour players. Really shocked that more of them don't give it a go. They must be used to using drones on the course IRL and won't give up their follow cam.   |
