How are people doing this? I've been unlocking challenges since day 1, and I'm still a long ways away from unlocking the courses with the challenges that unlock the expert clubs. I even switched to beginner level, but these challenges are still extremely difficult. Is there some code to unlock this stuff that I haven't heard about?

I play the more difficult challenges in Amateur. I go to the pro shop and find the clubs I want, then I see what challenges need to be beaten to unlock the club or club set. There are some second level challenges the unlock some of the expert clubs. I don't particularly like the looks of the Callaway Squareway driver and 3 wood I'e got, but they came by virtue of easy Tournament Challenge wins. I'll get something that's more pleasing to my eye as I progress.

Oh, I started of my second round in the Twin Cities tournament at Hazeltine by pushing my approach shot OB. I also had a 5-putt triple bogey from 23 feet! I wound up shooting a second straight 69, but missed the cut by 3 shots (it came at -9). The winner took this tournament at -35 (253). This was the lowest 72 hole score I've seen yet in my season by 7 shots.

I can honestly say this is my favourite golf game since the Sega Genesis era.

If they could address some nagging issues (crappy online tourneys, the inability to create our own online tourneys with friends, the locked crap, the ability to lock our ratings, etc...) this game would be nirvana.

All that said, I have never, ever sucked this bad at videogame golf. Another reason I absolutely love the game this year.

My rules are as follows: tour pro difficulty level, black tees, hard/expert pin placements, windy or higher (never calm).

Thanks for the reply. That must be after you've unlocked most courses. I've got 26 points so I've unlocked 5 courses I guess. I've yet to see any second level challenges that unlock expert clubs.

I paid 180 MS points to unlock my Expert clubs. 180 for the driver/fairway woods/irons/wedges. Had over 4000 MS points and said "shat the hell"....

Oh okay, thanks. Good to know that's one possibility.

Baa,

I am strictly a TOUR Pro player, but for Tournament Challenge, I am playing Amateur just so I can get through this part of the game and build my character so I can get on with the offline Season mode and online tourneys. I tried playing TOUR Pro and at the rate I was finishing challenges, I would not get done til TW11 came out....using the putt preview helps as well.

Agree with all but your "locked crap" comment. In playing Tournament Challenge, every course unlocks with the first challenge being completed which are the easiest challenge. While like you, I do NOT like having courses locked, they sure did make the process of unlocking them much easier than in years past....
