What are you finding hard about it? It's all about the feel, like real life.
I'd prefer not to show the distance marker but some hardcore might hunt me down and kill me :-)

My only issue with this is that the collector's edition will cost $40, and the base game costs $35. So all the people that decided to support the game during early access purchased the game for $35 and now have to pay $10 for the DLC for a total of $45 instead of $40.

Especially since it's NOT a game with a yearly release cycle, like the old EA golf games. I love the idea of excellent and passionate indie developers being able to create great games outside of the whole "corporate" structure...and I have no problem supporting them, especially when they make great games!

I was thinking the same thing. It would be nice if the people who purchase & supported the game since Day 1 would be able to get all the upgrades/benefits of someone buying it on disk 6 months later. I'm all for as many people purchasing as possible to grow the consumer base, but it would have been nice if the disk version was priced at $45, so we'd be even on the digital side ($35+$10).

Happy to support Golf Club even more with money, but what that Season mode really is? What's the difference with Tour mode?

The putting isn't unfair, just takes practice. Most realistic putting mechanic in any game, ever, IMO.

So here's my question...if I don't buy the Collector's Edition DLC, will I still be able to play created courses that use the Tropical and Asian themes? I haven't really gotten into the course designer much so having access to create with those new ones doesn't mean much to me and TGC Tours has more than filled my need for a season mode. Still debating the purchase because I do want to support the devs but I just don't know how much I'd get out of the new (paid) stuff.

This is only part of this I don't like. So this may have already been covered but will the dlc be separate than the update itself? Or will my psn account be automatically be charged when it downloads?

My belief is that there are two updates coming:
Update #1. Free and includes Tropical theme and walls, fences etc

Update #2) $10 charge and includes adding Season mode

My assumption is we all get the Asian theme, drop balls, out of bounds and the graphical improvements to Xb1 for free, but not until the paid update hits, otherwise there will be a huge disconnect between what courses people can play. The only thing the $10 download gets is the season mode, at least as far as I understand.
