Re: The Golf Club: Impressions Thread

. As much as I hated shooting +9, I loved it because I didn't ever feel cheated by the game. I took some risks on the one hole I found water, and I deserved it.

Awesome point - this is exactly what this game is predicated on and why I am enjoying it so much.

Re: The Golf Club: Impressions Thread

I know you guys are tired of hearing from me, but the ghosts' scores against me are now officially absurd. This is not just common it's all the time and it's all 3 ghosts.

Before you start the game, you can choose ghost balls from the best scores or from random scores. You're probably doing the former.

I know tournament mode is online only. Is it possible to do a local tournament on the same console? With two different gamertags? Hopefully this makes sense lol, thanks.

Re: The Golf Club: Impressions Thread

That does seem weird - Stupid question but are you playing against the same 3 ghosts all the time?

Also, are you varying the courses (and level of difficulty) you are playing?

If you are playing on all easy courses then there is a high chance that the ghosts are going to score really low.

I can't remember the course names of the top of my head, but have you played the standard mountain course? Its pretty tough and that was where I was seeing ghosts who weren't playing that well.

LOL, No they've all been different ghosts. I've played the hardest difficulty a couple of times with the same results. Castle Creek is MEDIUM.

Don't know what I'm doing because the interface is kind of clunky. I'll check it out. Thanks.

Pick your friends ghosts instead of the top 3 scores ghosts. If you are playing the top scores ever recorded on the game of course you are gonna think the ghosts are crazy good.

Re: The Golf Club: Impressions Thread

Just wanted to give some words of encouragement to those struggling with putting -- stick with it!

I, too, struggled with putting when I started. I mean, missing tap-in type struggles. I would leave putts short, miss them long, you name it. It took me a solid two days of playing and getting the rhythm down before I could consistently sink putts -- or at least feel confident in knowing that I wasn't likely to completely miss-hit one and could get everything close.

It sounds silly, but it really is all about getting a feel for the putter. I'm far from automatic on the greens, but I'm a lot better than I was when I started last week. It's a good thing, too, because now I can't hit anything straight off the tee.

Maybe we need to start a support group for this game because I know I could use a hug after some of the rounds I've shot.

That's the strongest part of my game. I'm a D+ at putting.

Re: The Golf Club: Impressions Thread

How have people found the course creator on x1 ? I found it so clunky and slow that I couldn't do anything with it.... I don't know how anyone would have the patience to create anything. When you look at how well it rang on the hb studio videos to how it runs on x1 there is no comparison

Re: The Golf Club: Impressions Thread

No problem for me in the creator, i just need to get more familiar with the tools and where they are.

Works good for me.

I don't have any friends that play the game. There are about 30 scores listed on Global Scores but some are repeat names, because another of their scores ranked high.

One poster on The Golf Club's forum replied, "Scroll down the list and you will be able to play with anyone who has already played that particular course." So, for example there are only 25 or so gamers who have played Two Rivers Golf Club?

I'm in your same boat. I really struggled my first 10 rounds with putting, now after about 20 total rounds I feel fairly confident in my skills. I've sunk an 18 footer and it felt good.

And oh boy do I need my putting to be good, because I'm bad off the tee and my short game leaves a lot to be desired. I'm consistently shooting +10 or greater on any hard/hardest course.....reaching the point where I need to start reevaluating my game, maybe hitting some irons off the tee instead of looking for the distance every time (sort of like my real golf game).

Feel free to add me as a friend (Roycemm09).

It shouldn't be. Try a hard reset. Mine was crazy slow when I first tried it, like 15-30 seconds for a change to populate. I did a hard reset and everything is pretty quick now.

The only thing that is hit or miss on my creator is the sculpt land, sometimes it shows fine and other times it shows a giant mess like 20ft high or low... I have to apply and then move the cursor away to see the effect.

Re: The Golf Club: Impressions Thread

One thing I've noticed on my X1, is the left hand screen is slightly cutoff so that I can't see the very beginning of course name.

Has anyone seen that?

Also, I will say some of the text is really small especially trying to find the ghost players or when changing loft.

Overall, I like. It is very easy to pick up and the motion of the analog stick makes very intuitive sense.
