As long as it's skippable, I think something like that would be really cool.

Yeah if it was added to the game it should be in the option menu.
Walk the course between each shot - on/off
If you keep it on you can choose to press X/A to skip and advance directly to your ball.
I would be so thrilled to be able to walk around once I got near the green for example and survey the landing area.
It should be just like the battlefield controls so you can slow walk all the way up to jog.
People would love to play speed golf and run between shots I am sure, it would be terrific online to see all this in real time. Players hitting shots and running.
I bet it would even become its own thing, see who can finish the fastest while scoring as low as possible.resident curmudgeonComment

Exactly!
And you know you would be standing there about to hit an 8 iron into the green and see someone race by to get to the green first!
Online golf should be fun like this.
And same goes for online, make it an option in the online match setup.
Walk the course between each shot - on/off for online too.
I would imagine quite a few people would end up just walking the courses together too, exploring.
Wow, going to make it even cooler.
Say you and your friend are walking the course together online. You can pick a point and initiate a closest to the pin challenge.
Now we could add a horse type mode to online where you could wander around the course like a playground and choose cool shots to hit and closest wins and you move to the next shot.resident curmudgeonComment

Ok it gets even better!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not sure what the max lobby size is, but picture this...
Say you can make 20 player lobbies. All 20 hit their opening tee shots, then everyone goes exploring.
You can send "signals" to your group you are playing with.
You can tag objects as sight seeing spots. It then pops up in a list and anyone in the party can warp to the spot and have a look themselves.
You can place spot challenges. Also appears in a list. You can warp to the location and participate in the challenge. Take it past just closest to the pin and add in stroke challenges, so say you pick a spot in a bunker and the objective is to get up and down (2 strokes). Drop a spot on the tee box and it becomes a par or birdie the hole challenge.
I would say in 10-15 minutes you would have enough site seeing and shot challenges to comfortably enjoy hours worth of fun on the course.
A side topic to this, golf is a hard enough sport on it's own that only like .009% of the population has the skill to master so I have always wondered why no game incorporates some of the fun elements people have come up with over the history of golf;
snow golf
speed golf
larger holes
one club or limited bag rounds
Cross country, this game engine is screaming for this mode. You start on 1 and hole out on 18. Not every course accepts this way to play e.g, a course with great distances between green and next tee. But a course that allows you access to the next hole from the previous hole, oh man is this fun to do.resident curmudgeonComment

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Available Today - Post Your Impressions Here
Here is another missed opportunity that could easily be fixed.
There is night golf in Rory.
But why can't I play Sawgrass at night? or any course in the game?
EA could light these course and it would look outstanding. Is it real? no.
Would it be amazing? Oh yes.
Have a look at some photos of this Faldo course in Dubai that has night golf.

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Available Today - Post Your Impressions Here
I bought it at launch, but traded it in.
Not sure how the sales are looking but I've been hoping it makes its way to Access sooner than later. When you look at other big name games: Fifa, Madden, NHL; they all dropped on Access 5-6 months after release.
However, if this isn't a yearly title (have plans changed?) And they're still releasing courses, you're probably right. It won't be any time soon.
So, you guys still playing, has there been significant improvements since release making this worth another purchase? Golf season is creeping on us, see Masters commercials on ESPN, and it's about time to scratch that itch.

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Available Today - Post Your Impressions Here
So I need my PS4 golf fix and just saw Gamestop has this game for $39.99 now.
Couple of questions.
1. How many playable courses are there now?
2. In season or career mode how many yearly events are there?ND Season Ticket Holder since '72.Comment

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Available Today - Post Your Impressions Here
Sales are approaching 600K combined PS4/Xbox One according to VGChartz. About 400K more copies than I thought they would sell at launch.
The other EA titles are yearly titles. RM was positioned at the start as a NON-yearly title. They are continuing to add courses and content with a new unannounced feature coming very soon as well as Oakmont. I hardly think they are planning to put this game in the vault with new gameplay features and courses still coming. Beyond this new feature and Oakmont will be telling as to the game's near future. I look for them to announce their continuing plans after this feature and Oakmont are released.PC / Xbox One X

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Available Today - Post Your Impressions Here
First, I think you can still get the game for $16 in the Playstation Store online. I know that's what I paid for it a little over three weeks ago.
PGA West brings the course total up to 17, if you count Paracel Islands and Treasure Island as courses. They don't move the meter for me, but they're there if you like that sort of thing.
I'm still in my first year in Career mode and I haven't looked ahead to see how many events are on the calendar.Duke Football? Hell yes it's Duke Football! --- Coach CutcliffeComment

Finally won my first event in Scotland last night! It all come together for me and I finished -12. Before that there were tourneys I got bounced from for not even qualifying.
Loving the game and so glad they are adding to it little by little. A lot of fun, and with the right difficulty settings very challenging as well.

Picking this up used at BB for $26! Any tips to difficulty settings? I forget what I'd used before, but I'm looking for some challenge here to keep things fresh.
