There are so many all aids flights here, one single sim tour and it's boring to me, where is the challenge and not just for a few but for everyone. It seems to be a casual tour first, we need societies to have a challenge on this game as that's ignored here. Endless flights where everyone is shooting the lights out all the way down and they can't make a sim tour too difficult because we will scare people off, now that's so f'ing frustrating for people who love sim golf.
If we had a proper sim tour here maybe the tour would have more donations from people who really care, because a lot of people take it for granted that a lot of time goes into running even a simple society let alone what they have here.
HB/2K needs to get on the cross platform society next game as it would elevated this game to the next level for real sim golf in this game.

Tough Crowd.

Yeah Pen were Tough as Nails . Great post Paul
Come on TGC tours give us a Legend tour all aids off including aim marker , just book only . The tours are fantastic but surely you gotta have a tour where its the hardest way to play the game, I honestly think with a little trial and some test events your be surprised how many will play and like Paul said your probably grab some extra donations including my tight arse . 😀 I'm sure there be a few of us that could help out 2 with setting this up .

Yeah I think the true sim guys would really definitely help contribute to this site if they supported a proper hardcore sim tour. To keep this going it definitely needs way more contributions as just over 100 people donating from the the hundreds who play here is a terrible statistic. I have donated and I rarely ever play on these tours, so why don't others who play every week.
I am shocked that so few are looking for more of a challenge. The best players on a game play the toughest settings, scores are meaningless really when you turn down the settings so much to make it easier. Big respect to all that play TAN as that is the real test in this game. Master difficulty is just way too easy for a huge amount of the player base here. Turn the grids on and it baby beginner mode for those at the top of the leaderboards.

I'm with you guys till you start this we're holding Donations for Ransom bit.
You want to donate... donate.
You don't want to donate... don't donate.
But this idea of, well we would give you money IF you did this or that is a bit ridiculous.
Nothing stopping us from starting our own website and our own Tour with conditions of whatever we want.
But you know... that is a lot of work... A LOT OF WORK.

It's not about holding anything to ransom. As I said I have donated even though I rarely play on these tours. The big picture is there won't be a TGCTours unless more people put their hands in thier pockets who play here. This isn't rocket science, the true fact is too many people don't support this site with even a little donation who play regularly. Sorry but those are the hard facts.
I know about a lot of work Pen and it is very time consuming just running a small cross platform society.
Also the fact that I am saying we will I and a few others will support TGCTours if they broadened their tour structure is a good thing not a negative thing. There are many here who would put the time in to make it great.
It is easy just playing what is put in front of you Pen, but a lot of work goes into it

I kind of got the same vibe from his post.

I voted yes on the poll, but doubt I'd play this type of golf (it doesn't sound the least bit fun for my playstyle). I'm not sure I'm alone there either.

Pretending this type of society could possibly bump up the play and donation count here is specious. If I had to guess, they'd be adding a considerable amount of work for very little return.

I took it more as saying you'd engage another demographic of player that aren't catered for on the tours currently and they'd be happy to support it.

Speaking for myself it really is as simple as I think it's a really enjoyable way to play the game and it might nudge some more into trying it. But I have no idea the amount of work that goes into it. Nothing more nothing less really.

I think anyone who enjoys playing a game that resembles real golf a bit more closely and asks some of the same questions would really enjoy it. But if there's no interest there's no interest.

Definitely up for trying these settings but if everyone is playing with these third party controllers it’s a no.

A KINGS RANSOM

It was a morning like any other.  @pen Knight had driven down early with his burger van to get things set up for the day.  The forecast gave a scorcher and with Brenelan on the grill now cooking away there was hay to be made.  Opening time soon.  He took a moment to himself to drink in the calm before the storm.  The most successful van around, 'nothing else like it' they said.  His secret?  One item on the menu; a plain burger.  Simplicity is key.  He knew this.  It had been good to him.  What a day.  He was the King and this was his Kingdom...

Something give him pause though.  A group was approaching from the other side of the car park.  Pen noticed one of them was wearing a Claret and Blue football top with 'Harewood 10' on the back.  He couldn't quite hear exactly what was said but from what he could tell this guy was adamant that PC gaming was superior to consoles... @hammers1man.  Beside him was the brightest blonde mop of hair you've ever seen poking out from beneath a British Rail Cap and resting on some Ray Ban shades... 'but that guy must be pushing 50' thought Pen, and he was, but he wore them anyway.  As they approached he noticed writing on the guys t-shirt, 'Cogito Ergo Sim'... longpole , no doubt.  Finally rounding out this group of arseholes was some stocky bearded guy wearing a cap to hide his bald head.  All he said was 'I gotta jump off mic'.  Now, this guy was a quiet one but he LOVED typing about the old days when things were better two years ago.  Pen thought there was a problem with his speech and that's when he twigged... Norn Irish, of course!  That prick Hendomedes!  horusphoenix would have been here too - Pen knew it - but he had to something with his pup. Typical.

Longpole spoke first.  Chatty bugger that he is.

'Oi Oi Guv'na!'
'Alright gents?'
'Cracking' set-up you get 'ere give us a cheeseburger please'
'We just do it the one way here, plain'
'Cam an!  I like cheese on me burgah and I know these guys do too'
'One minute please'
'I'll pay you a few quid extra for it'
'Calm down, I'll be right back'

He steadied himself and went back to Brenelan.  Brenelan had clearly overheard the conversation.

'Pen I can't do it.  My wrist buzzes when I need to flip the burgers.  How could I manage cheese on top of that?! It's NOT FUN for me!!'
'Calm down Bren, pal.  They don't really wan't cheese they're holding us to ransom.  This is a shakedown'
'I thought the same' he lied, thankful he wouldn't have to cook by eye, ear and feel.
'Bren I want you to quietly and calmly phone the police and let them know we are being blackmailed.  Go!'

As Brenelan made himself scarce Pen rubbed his hands nervously.  His eye catching his wedding ring.  Would she know?  Would she even care?  His mind drifted to early April...

'Who's that playing dad?' his youngest daughter asked
'It's a game. I'm playing!'
'Wow!! Is it new?  It looks really real!'
'Yes it's new and no it doesn't!  It's awful'
'Sorry I was just-'
'And you can't play societies and no one's watching on Twitch and...'
'For CHRIST sake Pen she's just a child!'

No.  He took the ring off and placed it on the counter.  She wouldn't care.  She didn't understand that there's one way to do things.  These guys didn't understand either coming here with their outrageous list of demands.

He reached down beneath the counter for his (insert gun name here I don't have a clue lol).

'Lads, about that cheese'....



I swear to God this is purely in jest and a bit of fun and I don't want to offend anyone!

Someone over on discord set me straight a couple months ago.
I can't remember if it was you, Bmells, KoA or someone else.
The point is that TGC and the Hardcore Base is a very small community.
It may appear large but that's inflated.

I enjoy the TGC.
Best Carrer Mode Ever for a Golf Game.
Even better than the Cases's Ladder that I remember and played for a few years.
It is very impressive what you all have done and how long you have been able to keep it together.
