Sure looks like it's what I could usually call a "pitch" shot...at least it acts like one, with a quick stop and backspin.

Also, he's -6 thru 9. He's driven 3 of the par-4s off the tee due to massive golf ball rollout.

He's playing what he calls the "middle" difficulty, with boost/spin and tracers turned off manually.

Turn off controller vibration from the system settings. Swing feels much more fluid albeit still slow.

That's what I was playing, then changed the swing difficulty to "harder". I don't really notice much of a difference yet.

Everything just feels so slow. It's running smoothly and looks great, but the actual swing and just everything about how it feels is...sloooow. I saw something in the beginning when setting my my player about choosing how fast of a swing you prefer. It's on normal now, I'll change it to faster and see if that actually speeds up the actual swing mechanic, or if it just compensates the fast/slow feedback reading after the swing.

Feeling very deflated here...

What platform are you playing on?

[MrArlingtonBeach]

Switched to another stream...someone was looking at the "Challenges" part of the game.

There are over 500 of them in total, divided into specific events or tours. So, for example, there are LPGA ones, Masters ones, etc.

And I assume they will be adding more of them as new moments happen in real life golf.

Back to gdog...he hit into the rough again at St Andrews and the lie was again 98-100%. That seems really bad and would need to be fixed. There's no penalty for hitting into the rough...Respawn chimed in on the chat of the stream, and he also said he's had no lie of less than 100%, even out of the rough.

Yeah that's gotta be a glitch or something. Why introduce lie % effect if it's not going to be affected by the rough?

Gdog was wondering if it was because this was an amateur event and conditions might be set to super easy?

But yeah, the tall grass having no penalty is silly.

Guy on reddit nailed it:
