The Golf Club Video - Playing in a Tournament

[Steve_OS]

HB Studios has posted another video from The Golf Club. This one talks about how to join a tournament and how the leaderboards work.

-29 after four rounds? Not sure what to think about that. It's certainly not as bad as Tiger Woods considering people would shoot that in one round in TW....

I hate it that people are scoring these sorts of rounds... Is this game too easy?

[steelereign]

Not necessarily. I'm in on the early access and yes, there are many rounds that are ridiculously low, but it's mostly dependent on which course you play.

There are many courses which, by design, are more difficult and yield more realistic scoring. Also, there are no spacesuits that allow you to hit the ball 400 yards. Everyone is playing with the same distances for all clubs/balls/etc.

Scoring really comes down to the course and your ability to execute shots and course management. You know, like real golf.

In my mind, it blows TW out of the water...or dumps it into the water....

if you guys want realistic scores how about maybe play real golf? Way too many uncontrollable variables that happen in real life you just cant replicate in a video game

Not at all. At least the PC version isn't. Especially playing user created courses that are built around ball position and needing to be smart as far as approach shots.

That's good to know. How easy or not is it to hit straight shots? One thing I liked about tw last time round was that I could have rounds where my game was just not there and I would be missing fairways left right and centre then I would get it together.... Every video I have seen here has everyone shooting straight

Hitting it straight isn't hard. I may miss one or two fairways a round (which is disappointing), but the skill lies in distance control on your approach shots. Some user created courses try to combat accuracy off the tee by making fairways really narrow.
