Enjoyed the set up for 1st the CC event. Scout Cam OFF (obviously won't happen due to PC issue) hopefully it will be UI OFF. Lie grid OFF (shouldn't be that big an issue for anyone). I like the look of Aiming Marker OFF, but it could be a bit too much for CC players. Maybe that's a setting for moving up to the top tiers (E/K/P)? Is scout cam UI off the removal of the big aiming circle?

Not sure if this is the right place to give feedback on the tours set up on elite so apologies if I’m crossing threads Played the elite round currently up legend/no tempo on the Xbox x series. Shot -9 after round 1. Had to be a bit more careful with the putting than I was expecting but otherwise I had a bloody lovely time not having to worry about the tempo That being said I think I’d get more attuned to the putting over time but otherwise while I did enjoy not having to worry about tempo (and i might turn off tempo while learning a course in the future) I didn’t feel I was really being stretched skill wise on what is quite a long tricky course (running water) and it certainly felt easier than last seasons skill settings. Hope this helps and apologies again if I’ve posted in the wrong place and thank you as always for all the work you guys running this put in

If we are going true sim just to have pro swing then I'm out. Sorry, I'm not in it for a "real" golf experience. I like video golf. Not sure there has been a single suggestion that would be the case from anyone that has the power to make it so. The only current serious suggestion seems to be that lie grid might go. At this point they have discussed losing the lie grid, scout cam, and aim marker. And some are wanting green grid gone as well. That's closer to true sim than not.

Has Doyley, or anyone else in a position of power suggested losing green grids as a viable option? That's the biggest core difference between Main tours and TST. Even the scout cam potential change lasted only a fleeting moment, as PC players can get around it, so that's out too... Losing lie grid is the only one being seriously play tested at the present time. Aim marker has been talked about among members as far as I could see, but that's it. So in reality, the chances are that nothing will change, but lie grid has a the potential to go. It's hardly going to end up as TST on Plat.

I enjoyed the scout cam being off, made me refer to the course book and slowed me down a little which is good but yep, advantage to PC and we can't be letting PC have an advantage over them PS boys, they're not used to others having an advantage!! (Joke before anyone gets upset!). So scout cam will stay. I didn't feel the lie grid being off was an issue. And I'd like to see course yardage book only and aiming marker off for the Pro Tours because the best do need something extra to challenge them at this level. I really don't feel much needs changing in CC due to the diverse skill level spread it serves.

Played round 1 with the settings provided, -7.
Played round 2 and took off the aiming marker (I usually play with marker only, no distance/elevation). IMO aim marker off should be a pro level setting, a more natural step from CC upwards.
It seems like you have to make it a little harder for pro level and this is a good way to do just that.
I always play with wind display meter only, maybe that is one you can make a pro level change as well?

Nothing more than people trying different settings and speaking out loud. Doyley has already said scout cam will be on, end of discussion. And, not to speak for him, but I don't think green grids was ever in play. They will be on. Aiming Marker is an intriguing one, but I'd be shocked if it changes based off the goal they are trying to achieve. Case in point, I like scout cam off. Won't happen. Done deal. But I still like it off. 🙂

Just did the no scout cam tournament. I'll stick with my original idea. While it would be far better than no change at all, this is not the best one in my opinion.
Scout Cam off: Blinding the golfer visually
Course yardage to Book only: Blinding information that are still in your face. It's your analysis that will determine the outcome. Seems more appropriate for the best golf competition out there!
Come try it in on PlayStation on " TGCT Pro Practice "
There's still place and time in Kinetic to try it! 😜

Course yardage to Book only: I haven't tried but like the sounds of that for the Pro tours.

Id go masters with pro swing. Ui off and no lie grid and Marker only The info on the marker really helps dialling in a shot.especially on partial swings(no point in taking marker off cos everybody will just use middle spot of the screen as that is a constant). Same as all games cod golf. Etc is always std As for those suggesting carry distance as an option. If you dont already use carry you must be a dinosaur.

Just had a quick go on 1st event (1st event: No Scout Cam, No Lie Grid, Pro Swing) - I had to give up half-way round before I smashed everything on my desk! Let me preface this by saying that I am a casual player, and also terrible at the game and not on PS, but I am reasonable at the actual game of golf.
I've never played without scout cam before, and I was shocked by how much more immersive the game is with it off.
From the point of view of a low skill player who is not on PS, I feel that if I practiced my arse off, and the scout cam was back on, then I could probably get round in somewhere near par on a good day with these settings. That gives the incentive to play, even if the top players are birdying every hole.
With the master swing on, it was pointless for me, I couldn't keep the ball on the course, and I know loads of other people had the same problem. But if I'm hitting most of the fairways and the greens, then the game is still enjoyable, even if the leaders are out of sight. You're just working on your personal goals. From the point of view of participation, I feel like these settings will really help.

For what its worth my feedback is the swing change to Pro is a positive move and kind of helps to "de stress" the feeling of spraying the ball all over the place whilst not being entirley sure how much of an influence you actually had on the outcome. (variables in systems, controllers, servers etc).
I play PC but think the scout cam should stay for reasons stated elsewhere.
Now, I did find myself sometimes free-wheeling through rounds without much thought of the outcome, however turning lie grid off, putting grid off and aim marker off has sharpened my mind to "plan" a shot a bit better. For example using the shot shape to access flags etc.
I also played TST and can honestly say I did not ever think I would be able to put without green grids. However, with a bit of practice and using the cameras to "walk the green" nailing a 25ft putt feels like nailing a 25ft putt IRL and thats a great feeling.
If nothing else this has forced me to play around with different settings to try and find the best experiance for me personally. For that Im grateful because far all I never troubled the leaders I really enjoyed the format of TGCtours but to be honest my patience with the game was running out rapidly.
In short support the changes and look forward to the next season.

Haven't played enough rounds to compare. If you guessed a 25 feets downhill elevation and it's finally 18 or 33, it will impact your shots enough so your birdie chance will be far longer. It can surprise you with chips that will go way too far or won't make the distance cause knowing every feets of elevationis crucial for chipping. Long putt are way tougher, especially downhill ones.
