Doyley Will the 75ft limit on chipping on greens be revised to the previous 100ft limit?
Doyley has confirmed it will remain at 75ft.

I was about to come back to tgct after a few year off as i only really enjoy 3 click golf. To see this dumped to a beer league because of possibility of cheating is madness ..... you can automate the tempo swing just as easy as the 3 click swing if you want to. To be honest it's as far from dumped but I didn't have time for a rebrand of the tour name/icons etc so understand how you can jump to that conclusion. . Goal is to build up the 3 click to be similar to main Tours where you can promote and demote. Can't do that without an overflowing tour first though. With Beer League being 3-click, it would be nice if we could join both the main tour and Beer League similar to how you can join TST and the main tour. Also, couldn't the Special Events society be used as a make-shift Legend difficulty society on weeks when it's not needed for special events?

I sucked at putting on legend when the game first came out but it gets easier with time and by staying below the hole even if I'm getting a longer putt. Putting has always been unrealistically easy in TGC games (or Tiger Woods games for that matter) and having some challenge to the stroke rather than just the read was a welcome change on my end. Seems weird to me that we expect a iron shot should get a progressively bad result with a poor technique but putts should still go in if they were aimed right. Also if you hit the first putt inside the 2 foot circle you're making the second even with a bad stroke. A more difficult technique would push players to be a little less aggressive on long putts and chips and try for the lag even if it risks coming up short. Any way I will hold my words after this. Decision was made by the tours. I'm not going to quit over it, but will try to find some societies that play on legend and spend a lot of time there. It's not so much about putts not going in, it's that it's extremely difficult to hit a straight line on the swing plane to set the ball off on the intended line, and to me it's more difficult than it should be. I don't strike every putt square to the target line in real life either but the percentage that I do is a lot more than it is on legend on here. On master it feels about right.

I find the newer the controller stick the easier swingplane is. Just given up on my DS4 and now using a new DS5 which makes a world of difference to my swingplane in the game.

Would it even work on a PS4 though? Thing is I don't actually mind the dispersion with full swings etc, it does add a bit of realism to it, I just don't think it should be as difficult to make a straight putting stroke as it is on legend. But it's a moot point anyway since the tours aren't on it, and I doubt I'll be playing on it anywhere else in the game.

A new and old controller can be night and day difference for swingplane especially putting.

I’ve quite enjoyed the challenge of the line with putting, if I get a bit careless (or drunk) I can easily yip three footers which is quite realistic! I’m finding I’m having to concentrate a bit more on short putts whilst it was almost automatic in 2k21. I quite like it!

Can't really afford it at the moment, but as I said I don't have any real problems with it on the master settings, it's only on legend where the plane is about 2/5 of FA wide.

Haha yeah I get that, if I'm careless with it then fair enough I deserve a crappy result but I do think it's too difficult to hit a straight putting plane on legend, perhaps because of the slower movement it lends itself to skewing off more easily. On master it's fairly realistic, at least to my own real putting strokes.

I tried searching but I couldn’t find it. Am I correct in assuming that the promotion/demotion lines at 7.5% and 15% for promotion, and 10% and 20% for demotion?

PLEASE restrict any consumable balls in society.
Fit your clubs any which way, whatever archetype you want, go for it.
The consumable balls is a game changer and what you end up with is a -19 round 1 on platinum tour with three eagles and a top drive that is 50 yards longer than the default ball.

Can we restrict them now? There was a patch 2/3 hours ago and it's an option now.
Also, per the shoutbox:
Doyley: TGC Tours will be prohibiting consumable golf balls (pending testing) starting Week 3.

When does the projected cutline appear?
And is it still this in 2K23?
Challenge Circuit/Beer League Tour: Top 60% of the field that have completed rounds 1 and 2 by the aforementioned deadline
