Fantastic. That should really make the next 8 hours fly by. I guess I'll pass the time by checking out some user created courses and decide which ones I want to download and play. I'm sure there are some good ones out there already.

I'll recommend my favorite: Autumn Ridge G.C. (make sure you put the "G.C." at the end of it because there a multiple Autumn Ridge courses). A guy named Joe Habiger created it and I think "joe" is in his Steam name, which will be attached to the course. Joe has a history of quality courses spanning several golf games over the last 15 years.

It's not the most ostentatious course you'll find for The Golf Club, but it looks like something you'd expect to play in real life. It's somewhere between easy and medium, in difficulty. Another aspect of August Ridge G.C. is the design is so fluid, the game engine supports it without a hiccup. I always got the fastest frame rates on this course (although this *shouldn't* be an issue on the consoles) because if it's naturally seamless design.

I envy you for the task that lies ahead of you tonight

Yeah will do. Thanks for the invite. I was playing until around 2:30 last night and will probably end up doing the same tonight. I'd love to get a couple rounds in with you guys.

Online is now live for Golf Club

I'd love to read a report from you or Jeff as to the lag between the voice communication and the game action. The community manager at HBS confirmed today this it will still be there due to the way their server buffers data. I'd just like to get an idea on the range of delay lag you've experienced so far? I've seen 5 to 12 seconds in the PC verison, on average.

I didn't get a chance to hook up with bluengold34_OS so I haven't had a chance to try out the voice chat. I'm hoping to find a multiplayer match to jump into tonight or tomorrow. I'll let you know what I find out, though bluengold34_OS could probably answer sooner.

It's roughly the same - for most of the 3 hours we played it was consistently 10+ seconds between the actual shot and the action on scree taking place -

Same position. I'm buying it for both systems. Cannot wait to play it.

With no EASHL for NHL15, I think I will take that money and do the same. I think these devs deserve it more than EA by giving us a simulation/customizable game like this. Since the game is basically just pick up and play with no levels, attributes etc, it should be easy to go back and forth and play with friends on both consoles.

A few more impressions from last night ...

I now know how Tiger Woods felt when he hit the flag stick on the fly during the 2013 Masters because the same thing happened to me. It was one of the coolest things I've ever experienced in a golf video game, even though it cost me two shots. The ball hit the flag stick and ricocheted right back off the green and into a bunker and I couldn't get up and down.

Checked out some user-created courses and some of them are just pure evil. I'm all for a good challenge, but these were borderline masochistic.

Unless I'm missing something, you need to have an internet connection to play tours and tournaments. I would have thought these modes would be available offline, too, but it doesn't appear so. I did play a round on a course that had a couple of scores already registered, and it was neat to see their round play out alongside my own. It was like being in a multiplayer match without having live people on the course at the same time.

All in all, I'm still really liking the game and think it has great potential. With an active group of players and some nice courses, this could be special.

Woah that's not good Bob.

No - it's not. After a awhile it started to become a bit of a grind, and I can't imagine what it would be like with 4 players.

Wow, I would say that would become annoying fast. It's a shame if they can't improve on that because I'm really liking how the game plays and I imagined it would be that much more fun with additional players. But from what you've experienced, maybe that's not the case.

It was still fun, but when you start to add all the delays up, it's quite the time consumer-
