I think it’s great you guys are reaching out to the community to stretch this game out til the next one drops. There has been a buzz in the community over settings called the “Knightwolf Settings” it is a society that Plays on Pro Swing (2.13) and the response has been humbling, especially all the people that have wanted to play this game again. One of the biggest Events is the Killahbeaz Match Play Invitational, which pits some the biggest as well as upcoming players in TGC’s. This years event is being played on the 2.13 Settings and the buzz hasn’t stopped. I think that a good place to start would be: Swing Difficultly-ON Swing Timing-ON Distance Control Meter-OFF Distance Control Assist-OFF Putt Preview-0 Course Yardage-BOOK ONLY All Pro Visions-OFF Scout Camera-OFF Lie Grid-OFF Green Grid-OFF Aim Marker-OFF Wind Display-Meter ONLY Distance Display-CARRY These will play at 2.10 and I know if you test these that you will find a pretty good starting ground. I’m not trolling or just throwing these out there. The community has tested these over the last couple months in my society (Whodad007) and thought I’d share them here! Appreciate the time

I wonder why nobody is considering removing the aim marker. I played that in LitjFoxn 's True Grid Tour on PC some time ago and I'm a big fan of that! Has this been considered. I think this adds a level of extra difficulty esp coupled with no lie grids. adds an element of chance which is what golf's all about a lot of the time. scout cam off seems like a disadvantage for console players. would hate to see the green grid go because you may as well play True Sim then.

Shame that the Scout cam turned off can be ignored on PC. This makes the Lie grid turned off more of an emphasis for me for the Pro Tours.
The aim marker is a wild card for me. Will be an interested observer for sure.

Turn the aim marker off, heres how you get around that. Pick the area you want to aim for. Zoom all the way in so its centered on your screen. Place center of screen on area you want, zoom out. Shoot. Its how I game it in a pro soc with the marker off.
It'll reward people who do it like this but also add a bit more of time per round, really depends on the person doing it, if my tempo was as good as my ability to do golf math without even thinking about it I'd be scoring 4-5 shots a round better, it wouldn't add too much time to my round but people like Sloaner who I've watched do his TGC rounds before, that could be another 5-8 minutes per round easy.

Shoot. Its how I game it in a pro soc with the I just played a round on Xbox with... LIE GRID - ON GREEN GRID - ON SCOUT CAM - ON AIM MARKER - OFF Was brilliant! A round at Breton Bay where I have shot -7 in the past resulted in a far more realistic round of -3. A very small data set (only 1 round!) of course but it did add a layer of extra difficulty. I'd hate to see the lie grid or green grid go because this then ventures down the TST path. Also as sroel said above due to the fact it's a video game you don't get a true representation of the lay of the land. the grid are your "eyes". going to experiement a little more because I have may have found a mor eenjoyable way to play solo rounds and score more realisticly.

It slipped my mind about the F10 camera on PC. Once it was brought to my attention it reminded me why I had ruled that out that as an option. Going to nip it in the bud right now and say Scout Cam will remain on. Entire reason for going to Pro swing is for better parity - no chance I can do that and then allow one system to bypass No Scout Cam and keep my job!
Also let it be known that Green Grid will always be an option and never locked to off. You can play on our main tours with the green grid off if you so choose, but it's not forced off.

Just played rd1, Lie Grid Off, I like that. Scout Cam Off, I like that also, now then PC have a loop hole, so i played Cecil Harvey turn-based ghost for 5 holes and if he hit his approach first, I could see where he landed, any dangers and how his ball rolled out, so there is a loop hole as well. Turn off them blooming green grids, keep scout cam and the Platinum, Elite, Kinetic are ready to go.

This has been there as long as TGCTours has existed. It, IMO, has been lessened after TGC1 since there is more involved and more variables into getting a "perfect" swing.

Love the new proposed changes. Ive been struggling with master level for 12 months! Way harder than the previous game.
I'd agree with the others around keeping scout cam, it doesnt really matter on long shots but around the green it doesnt seem right. Ends up bringing an element of luck in as you cant see where your hitting it or where its going to land. Same for putting, especially the long ones, in some cases you cant begin to read the green.
Like the idea of no aim marker and not too fussed about lie grid but it can be tough to 'see' the undulations on some shots.
Love the site and the work you guys do. im off to make a donation.

Appreciate the time Personally I'm not a fan of tinkering too much with CC as you are still trying to cater for a massive spread of skills but for the Pro Tours Course Yardage Book only and Aim marker off together with lie grid off would be a direction to go in.

SkyBlueBen, I see above you have "course yardage - book only". I've just been experimenting with some settings (after 12 months!!) and did wonder what this was. When I set it to Off it still shows distance and elevation in the HUD. Only when I turn off "Distance & Info position" in the Display & HUD category does the yardage disappear. Can you provide a bit more detail around the course yardage setting in Difficulty category. Thanks
