Hi graham,
Paul from Scotland here. Loving the new tour set up. Always thought if tiger woods 12 had something like this the game would have been flawless!

Hello, My name is Sean, and I'm a golfaholic. I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and I am thankful for The Golf Club and TGCTours for giving me a way to get a bit of my golf fix in during the winter months. I'm 45 years of age, play on PS4, PSN id is Pubknight. And I have been playing this game obsessively since I picked it up. And real golf obsessively since I was 8. Currently on Champions Tour, but using a sponsors exemption for web.com in week 4. While I don't see myself as a threat to win any tournaments (like they say on TV, these guys are good!), my goal is to keep progressing my game and just try to get a bit better every week. If I move up in tours, I move up. If I don't, I don't. I will end up being where I should end up being. Que Sera Sera.

Hi all, enjoyed reading everyone's bio over the last 30 mins. My name is Nick, I play as Jon E Skidmarks on XB1. Wish I had a funny story for the name, but I don't...other than Johnny Skidmarks was already taken. I'm 36 and live in a small town about 40 miles east of Charlotte, NC. I'm an avid sports junkie. Superfan of the Dallas Cowboys (yes, it was a catch), Baltimore Orioles, Charlotte Hornets, North Carolina Tar Heels, and of course my alma mater, Charlotte 49ers. I have a passion for the game of golf. I didn't get started until around 15 years of age, but I have been a member at my local course right in my back yard ever since. I play to about a 1-2 hcp (in the summer months) at my home track, but I can spray it with the best of them when I get away from home. For the past 3 years I have been doing a Web series called "Hacking With Nick" shot at my local golf course. If you are a fan of golf & bad comedy, you can find roughly 40 episodes worth on YouTube.
Not sure if I should own up to this, but since August, my life has pretty much revolved around this game. My work day pretty much consists of me browsing the HB forums (updating every 5 minutes). I don't post all that regularly, but not many threads get by me. For some reason, I had not ventured over to TGC forums until just the other day. Too bad it is restricted at work, or I would get less done than I do already. You guys are doing a hell of a job, and I am loving this experience!

Hi Everyone--
Jeremy from West Michigan here. Started real-world golf as a kid. My dad would try to help me after a few shots and, by the time we got to hole 6-7, we were fighting after every shot until 12-13 where we'd just stop talking altogether. Played in a tournament when I was getting ready to start high school and shot a 90...for 9 holes. Combine those things with other interests (where I had more talent, too) and it's not hard to see why I don't play much, though this game has me thinking that it might be time to dust off the clubs for another try with the old man.
That said, I do enjoy video game golf...especially TGC combined with TGC Tours. Looking forward to some quality peer-to-peer competition that feels much more organic than anything I've experienced in other golf games. I also love the ability to play a nearly infinite number of courses at any point, too. Well worth the money, IMO.
I'm debuting on the Champions Tour next week (Allianz Championship...just missed the deadline for Dasani). Based on Q-School and playing a few other courses, I feel like it's the right fit for my ability level coming out of Q-School. After a few under-par rounds yesterday, I can see opportunities to compete and potentially move up in the future. Speaking of that...the sponsor exemption criteria for rounds of XX or better are looking for those rounds in the same tournament, right? Probably a dumb question but just thought I'd ask.
See you all out there...hit me up if you want a round.

Hey everybody -- elguapo79 is my steam name as I play on PC, real name Jeremy. I've been playing TGC for a bit over a month. I'm not great, but I love playing and (slowly) creating a course.
My internet is wireless and somewhat slow, so I've not been able to do any kind of online gaming since I moved out to rural Maine 6 years ago. --So I'm looking forward to participating in TGC tours! I'm not desperate to be a champion, so I don't mind if I stink up the joint. It's fun to have a reason for every shot counting, though.
I've played video games since I was a kid (miss those NES baseball games), although my golf game history is limited to PGA Tour (genesis), Mario Golf (N64), and a PC version of Tiger Woods somewhere around 2003 (I think). Didn't start playing real golf until college or so, but I love it when I get the chance. My real skills mirror my TGC skills; like TGC, I have fun anyway.
This seems like it's a great game community and hope to enjoy it as much as the game!

Hey everyone, name is Kyle. I'm from the Western New York area, I play on the PS4 (Gamertag : GoHead12)
I've had this game since release date, and other than messing around with the course editor I haven't played too many rounds. The TGC has me really interested in playing and getting better. Just finished up the Q-School and I struggled quite a bit early, but at some point I'm going to figure it all out.
If anyone wants to get a live round in and sees me on, feel free to drop me a line!

Hello everybody, Ed, from Sacramento. 48, been golfing since 15 yrs old. I have broken par on a real golf course twice in my life, and I *really* had to work at it! Been playing golf video games since they have existing (basically played them all), and I LOVE The Golf Club.
What an outstanding game, and what's even more outstanding is the incredible courses that people create. Simply amazing and I think we're so lucky to have this resource.
I play on PS4, my name is Chairman7w on there as well. Shoot me a friend request and let's play!

Hi Everyone, my name is Matt, steam name is Matt10 on the PC.
I've played golf video games since Links 98. I haven't played on a tour since playing on The Clambakers for TW 2008 for the PC. What an incredible experience that was. I never thought about The Golf Club as a contender to Tiger Woods games, but it is simply fantastic. I thought for sure it would be like Pro Stroke Golf or John Daly's game (which felt the same), but it is far from it. The course designers are amazing, and I have barely skimmed the surface of this game's capabilities in terms of courses.
I have been provided the honor and privilege to review courses for TGCtours, so expect some videos in the near future. In addition, I am going to be documenting my TGCtour player (Matt10) career on YouTube. I look forward to seeing you all on the course!

My first post was actualy about me having to re-enter the q-school but a fair introduction is in order as well.
The name is San, short of Sander, but been called San as long as I can remember it. Anyway. I've never touched a real golf club but i've been playing golf games for some years now. If my memory serves me it started with PGA tourish on the Mega Drive but the real game came with the Links series on the PC. Still love Bobcat Goldtwaith's voice on one of those games as he called a overshot putt and the like.
Anyway, as stated, I missed out to finish the january tour due to real life obligations but i'm pretty confident I will finish it in good time this month and aim to end decent.
