And no country club or society play. And it looks like you can't turn off totally the green grids... it's either on or no beads for sim play.

Do we think shot shaping is a diagonal swing movement with the analog stick?

Like Divot Derby but a full round? That would be awesome.

I think Ryder Cup content is coming post launch so the simultaneous play will likely be a WIP before they launch that DLC.

Not that I ever play with no grid, they simply MUST make it possible to totally turn off the grid on the hardest level to satisfy the "legend" level players. Seems simple enough to just be able to toggle it on/off? If not that's going to turn off a lot of the hardcore sim guys.

Sold. Day 1 purchase. ‘23 majors coming post launch too.

Yes the crowds and surroundings look much better, and I know it's just a quick video in low res, but none if it really popped off the screen at me. Either way if it's confirmed that the gameplay is at least as realistic as 2k, I'm in for sure.

The key to this game is going to be how realistically these 20 shot types will be implemented. It does look very promising though.

I agree. Tour should be "no beads" and Sim should be "off". Played many rounds without grids and it's entirely possible and satisfying. And with next gen graphics it should be more plausible than ever. Seems they wimped out with that but I will reserve final judgement after seeing it in motion.
