I think I will use this site from now on. It's too bad that was a great site.

Thank you for the kudos. We always welcome your submissions, Drgn.

A lot of the driving force behind this site is trying to improve upon what PocketScout started. He paved the way and we are thankful, as it has been a really good resource. However, we are trying to put a more uniform spin on course discovery. This is why we have ratings guidelines (which are publicly known), designers and non-designers on our team rating courses in accordance with those guidelines (to the best we are able), we reject courses that do not meet our criteria, and we do not allow public rating. Will everyone always agree with our rating? Of course not. But we strive to get it right on as many courses as possible.

Is that second or first-hand reporting?

Shoutbox

sroel908: And as someone who's rangered/scheduled hundreds of courses, trying out a wide range of conditions, I can say with certainty that green speeds do have an impact and definitely matter. Nov 18, 2024 15:57:48 GMT -5 *

sroel908: Green firmness is more about how the ball interacts with the putting surface when you hit an approach into it. A soft green is more receptive, and will allow more backspin than a firm one. A firm green will have less bite and more rollout. Nov 18, 2024 15:57:00 GMT -5

meunier33: I have seen 135 greens that putt like they are 170. Therefore, we can conclude that green speed does not matter. Nov 18, 2024 15:31:35 GMT -5

meunier33: Why isn't there a green firmness meter on the score bug? Green firmness matters much more than green speed. Nov 18, 2024 15:28:26 GMT -5

keyan: thanks Nov 17, 2024 18:40:12 GMT -5

meunier33: I still play this game like it was the game before 2K21. Up until this month I have never tried to change anything about how I play the game. It has made me worse trying to adapt also. Nov 13, 2024 15:23:56 GMT -5

OldManGaming606: The biggest swing adjustment and best for competitive golf IMO, was 2k21 and addition of tempo. Nov 13, 2024 7:31:02 GMT -5

Art Vandelay: each time the game has been issued (TGC, TGC2, TGC19, etc) the game play changes. Some more than others. You have to adapt. Or go away, like some have. Nov 12, 2024 20:16:52 GMT -5

Wutpa: I think a lot of people here have figured out what your problem is, and it's not what you think it is. Nov 12, 2024 15:23:34 GMT -5

meunier33: EG the best swing used to be hard and low and not a high swing like it is now. Nov 12, 2024 14:51:27 GMT -5

meunier33: Im finally figuring out what my problem is though. I play the game like it used to work 4 or 6 years ago and I have trouble adjusting to how it now plays Nov 12, 2024 14:49:57 GMT -5

zooby97: Is that all meunier33 does is COMPLAIN? Will you please ditch the game so I don’t have to see the complaints anymore, wow! Nov 12, 2024 14:06:54 GMT -5

Art Vandelay: Amen prowse00 to that! Nov 11, 2024 11:21:49 GMT -5 *

prowse00: give it a rest Nov 11, 2024 7:49:56 GMT -5

meunier33: I can't wait to be able to shoot below -4 in a round once this game starts obeying me again Nov 10, 2024 14:50:18 GMT -5

keyan: after just going -28 thru 2 in elite i cant wait to shoot -40 through 4 Nov 9, 2024 21:18:41 GMT -5
