Happy with that. Have to see how it fares though.

Was inches away from a couple eagles and was setting up nicely on 18 when I managed to smack a lone palm tree dead center with a side spinning approach shot.

So you gotta pay $3 to ride in the cart huh? Can you run people over? LOL.

You unlock a basic one fairly early in the single player tournaments. Upgrades later.

I picked up the game at Redbox used for $10 only reason why I bought the DLC courses. Compared to the courses in the game at least the first two they are quite bare. The courses that I saw that come with the game are beautiful.

I believe the first two DLC courses are throwbacks from previous HSG games, hence why they're pretty plain.

I don't think I've ever seen the Nam Rong one, though.

Right behind you.



I played it really safe because I felt this was one of those setups where they try to punish people for doing too much. I didn't even use that much super backspin/sidespin for fear that the club sway would blow my shot off target. I didn't really see much chance of eagles in this one anyway without some really risky stuff, like skipping over the pond on that one par 5 with a wood club.

I thought I unlocked it by beating the German guy with the racing suit in a vs match in Rank 2. How do I get the cart now? I try to take the cart in Home but no go with that.

Re: Everybody's Golf Arrives on August 29 For PlayStation 4 - Post Impressions

I played one of the rounds online a couple of days ago shot like -11. The winner came in at -20. In this tourney last night I shot -14. That score won't get a sniff these guys are unreal. So before I played that round I was Rank 3 Level 12 after the round I was demoted to Level 11.

Got around to doing my EG Cup Qualifier Round earlier... Ended up at -14.



Fuming! That Bogey on the last hole killed me. I ended up with late timing and landed in the Bunkers on the left. I thought I could clear them on my second shot but ended up plugging my ball in the same bunker. Ended up barely missing the Par putt to boot. So frustrating... Was looking at -16

Here is the video of my Round for anyone interested...

EDIT: Holes 6 and 12 seem to be the toughest ones. I haven't seen many scores with a Birdie on either Hole. I should've sunk my putt on 12 too... but it's a tricky little green!

Re: Everybody's Golf Arrives on August 29 For PlayStation 4 - Post Impressions

Made it out of the qualifiers, seemingly around the 33rd percentile or so of all who participated. The cut line was -8. Top score was, incredibly, -22.

Time to embarrass myself in the finals!

Stats are bumped up for this one, but equipment is still fixed.

Edit: -12 again. And this time it was a disappointment. So many missed putts and off-target shots due to sway. Winner's going to go better than -22 this time with the higher stat ceiling.

I just did mine. BLEH!

-12

With the way I played the front 9, let me tell you, I was happy with that final tally. I think I should have warmed up a bit more. Logged on, played my revenge match of the day, won it in 3 holes, and then jumped into the tourney. I couldn't hit Pi for crap. Came out of the front nine at 4 under because of a lucky bounce eagle on 3 and a couple birds. Managed to loosen up and hit Pi a little bit more consistently and birdie everything on the back except for 12.

Curious to see what the rewards are at the end of this.

I like the one round aspect of the tourney but they need to speed up the process. One tournament a week is gonna get a little stale quickly I'm afraid. Maybe do one a week that is rewarding cosmetics a other rewards but also to some tourneys that last two or three days that rewards gems and such.

Re: Everybody's Golf Arrives on August 29 For PlayStation 4 - Post Impressions

Well I shot a -14, but I'm not proud of it.

I probably feel exactly like you guys. I'm trying to find a YouTube video of Stewie telling Brian, "Dude, that was paaaainful." My approach shots were atrocious. I had three water hazards. I miffed a putt by accidentally double-clicking my X button, and then missed a lot of other putts naturally. I didn't get a homing shot when the ball hit the flag that was right in front of the pole it would have hit.

I easily could have shot anything between -18 and -20. The pressure was just totally on during that.

I'm glad they are doing these, though!

EDIT: By the way, in these international tournaments my ultra spin isn't registering a lot for some reason. I could chalk it up to coincidence (or pressure), but for some reason my game thinks I'm hitting the D-pad after hitting X, so shots are going straight instead of doing what I want them to do. I mean I've probably played some 1500 holes before and I've never had these things happen like it did during the qualifying round (happened once in the championship round). Maybe it's just me and I'm trying too hard, and failing miserably.

Maybe they should do one a week for all of the courses.

Re: Everybody's Golf Arrives on August 29 For PlayStation 4 - Post Impressions

Got around to doing my Finals Round.



One hole killed me again! On Hole 3 I barely missed PI but then on my contact she missed it way left, so my ball ended up rolling into the lake. It looked like it would have rolled up next to the hole really nice too... Had 3 chip ins that helped my round too. Can't really complain about -18 but once again I am left thinking "what if"
