Re: TGC 2019 Patch #2 and DLC Course

There are some threads and discussions on the TGC website. The forums there have a lot of info regarding season 5 and Q school. Hb put the server update out but had to pull it because there were a few issues like the guy above stated. No timetable yet for when it will be implemented again.

Okay, thanks for letting me know.

Okay, now we can fully take stock of what this latest patch has done for TGC 2019. Today, HB Studios released their second, server side patch to correct problems with the shot trajectories, ball spin, and lie effect physics problems. I think they've hit a home run with what was done today. Is it perfect? By no means... I still noticed that a tee shot that rolls in to a fairway bunker, yielding a clean lie (visually) still gives you a distance of 71 to 80%. It's better than it was before, with no extra swing or distance penalties associated with it, but there's room for improvement here.

OTOH, it was so nice to hit a full, lob wedge approach into a moderate green, and actually have it back up a couple of feet... and stop. All approach shots with all irons now behave more like you'd expect... I'm really ecstatic over what this has done for this game. Golfers can actually rely on their intuition now!

Game is damn near perfect now. As you said all they need to do is fix the plug lies.

Yeah, I can hit a ball from a clean lie in the bunker almost as far as I can from the fairway in real life... IF I execute a good swing. It's harder to execute a good swing from the bunker because you're altering the impact point of the ball in your swing, and the hands are staying more ahead of the clubhead. When there's a flaw in the execution of a fairway bunker shot, I'm more aligned to produce a larger error, up to skulling the shot to various degrees.

I think if they factor what clean fairway bunker lies do to an improperly executed swing more realistically, they'll be able to scale the carry distance back up to be more in line with reality.

But dayum... TGC 2019 now plays a much more satisfying game of golf, IMO!

Re: TGC 2019 Patch #2 and DLC Course

Agreed, this game plays a great game of videogame golf.

As in real life, some rounds you just 'have it', and other rounds you're struggling to land your tee shots on the fairway.

Nothing like tee to bunker, bunker again, and a two putt to wear you out for par on a par 4 lol

Great patch! A move to Master Clubs is now in order for me. Being able to get closer to the green with the extra distance and use more low irons and wedges will now be a reward. As for off the tee fingers crossed I can get it somewhere near the fairway

Re: TGC 2019 Patch #2 and DLC Course

I experienced this as well yesterday. I was about a 100 yards from the green and thought I had a perfect swing only to completely miss the green by about 20 yards left and 20 yards long. I did account for the wind so I was very surprised to see where I ended up. I haven't played a lot, maybe 10 rounds so far and this was the only time I experienced this.
