Is there anyway we can go back to using TGC 2019?? Would be alot better........... No. While nostalgia is nice on a human scale, Admin has to make their decisions upon the current and forwards looking perspective.

Tours are way down on numbers so guess it suits the masses.
The difference between consoles is quite extreme in the games play. Xbox really suffer and there are ways to adjust controller sensitivity in steam on PC. So all in all the game is bust when it comes to cross platform events like this.
Hence the change needed unfortunately.

I wouldn’t play if green grids were off. It’s impossible for most of us. I think HB missed a trick in not having a green grid timer option. Press a button and you see the grid for about 5 secs. Then it’s gone, then you’re on your own. I’d go with that. As for pro swing, the way the game was going it’s probably the right decision, might make me come back and play more regularly rather than just playing once a week to get my tour rounds done.

No way to make everyone happy in this case with the amount of work required to put in a tiered system, etc. Many don't realize that Doyley is essentially running this entire operation by himself at the moment. 100% the right call with the state the game is in right now. This is what I have been seeing for the past several years. At least I get a confirmation of what I have suspected. No disrespect meant to anyone involved in the process to give us TGCTours. I am happy that we are trying to get a bit back towards parity among all three platforms. It's a great point made by Canuck. It's a massive burden on Doyley and you can easily see why the tours need to be played at one level and it's a massive ask to implement extra procedures to keep some people happy. Should also be noted that a Tour of this size does not run on fresh air and that the donation drive is hugely important.

This is a good decision for the most part, especially for us struggling Xboxers. I've worked really hard on my swing tempo on Master level but there are still days where it bombs out completely for no apparant reason.
Pro level will be fairer for everyone, even if it won't suit everyone. This is the beauty of the league system - it will take a good few weeks to settle down but the best players will still rise to the top and everyone will still end up competing against others of a similar skill level.
Whenever I think about having a moan about how these tours are structured I just remember how lucky we are to play in these tours for free and how much time and effort the organisers put in to make TGCtours what it is (presumably they all have busy lives in the Real World too).
Next season will be different but it will also be fun and I for one am really looking forward to it.

Doyley set an event with Pro Swing settings, Turn Green Grid OFF and let everyone play. For all those saying "I'm not playing with no green grid " I say, you can its doable, most have had to learn a new swing, learn how to putt without a grid, it is possible.

I still get pissed when I play real golf and there’s no green grids.

I echo what many people have said re Doyley being up against it. Playing on xbox I've been critical about both the fast meta AND the RF patch in the past. I'm just going to roll with this and give feedback after a few events if it goes ahead. I've had a lot of fun playing TGC Tours for years now and I'm sure it asks a lot from a lot of people to make it run so smoothly. With the game the way it is Doyley and others involved have a frankly impossible task keeping everyone happy while providing meaningful cross-platform play. I think the intentions here are good and I'm happy to give Pro a try. Even with grids

I would love to see a Poll on green grids, lie grids, etc. Then go with what the majority want. Is it possible to set up a Poll ? IMHO if difficulty is reduced to pro swing, it needs to be increased somewhere else.

how about we get some test events... which there will be a few... before we start saying that pro scoring will be through the roof?
And again.. I would encourage you to stop thinking about the 50 or so in the pro tours, and think about the 1500 below you who will benefit massively from this change. You want to stick with masters or above.. you can.. the new and improved beer league is exactly what you're after... a dedicated tour with a ranking system using that difficulty.

You want to stick with masters or above.. you can.. the new and improved beer league is exactly what you're after... a dedicated tour with a ranking system using that difficulty. Eh. I mean, I understand what you are saying, but know that on the lower Platinum, the whole of Elite, and the whole of Kinetic tours EVERYONE is in benefitting. You are still competing against those who have the same settings. I feel, as a poor putter, I will have a net negative, and I am fine with wherever I fall under the season 8 rules. I am not against these changes, but those not at the top end of this change are just changing up settings for better or worse on the individual level. I accept it as trying to include the PC and especially those on XBox to be able to compete once again, but I also know that as a non-top 50 player and others like me, I am not benefitting from this change. My platform of play, PS5, already give me an advantage.
