I mean, as it should be. I cannot even fathom having a computer more powerful than what I've got, seeing as how I can run any game I want in ultra res on a 34" Acer X34 Predator G-Sync monitor in native res (if the game supports it). It's insane, and I def don't have top of the line gear anymore w/ an i7 6700k, 32gb Ram and a GTX 1080.
I running the
Intel i7 770 4.5 ghz
Asus Strix A270E mother board
32 Gig of 300mhz memory
Nvidia 1080TI 11GB
Couple of 1 TB micro SSD's and a 4TB SATA
And thank to Terry's input a new Asus ROG PG348Q 34-Inch Ultra-wide Gaming Monitor
This monitor is so freaking awesome playing GRWL and other games on it.

Yeah...that monitor is legit. It's basically the same as my Acer Predator 34"...GSync is awesome. I had three Asus ROGs and each one had some significant light bleed, so had to just ditch it for the Acer. Both are fantastic for gaming of course. Your computer is GOD-LIKE too. Don't worry, you're now included in the statement, lol.
Yep, I'm glad you like it, Dan. I was torn between the X34 and the PG348Q myself. No matter what, 3440x1440 @ 100Hz with Gsync is a sight to behold.
I'm having a difficult time NOT pulling the trigger on a new GTX 1080 Ti, but my old pair of regular 1080s is still doing just fine, so it's more that knowledge that there's something out there faster that bugs me more than performance issues.
HB Studios was live streaming again today. I can't seem to find the YouTube links yet so if you want to check out the archived stream just head on over to HB_Studios on Twitch and go to Past Broadcasts.

One of my favorite games from this generation and the best value for money, by some distance. I'm not a golfer or a massive golf purist, so I don't analyze every aspect of ball physics or swing mechanics. But both of my sons golf, and they love it and think it's realistic enough.
Plus more than 100,000 user-generated courses of TGC, all of which can be imported to TGC 2, ensure you'll never be bored. Can't wait to see what the ace course designers in the community create for TGC 2.

Wasn't a fan of the first one, but this looks so much more polished and complete. I like the spin on career play and the social aspects of Societies. Plus, the courses look so much better.
I will say I personally dont care about the user generated content. When it's good, it's fine. When it's not, it's a pain when others use it for seasons and tourneies. Yeah, I wish RMPGAT had more courses, but I much prefer fewer courses as well done and licensed as RMPGAT has. I don't want to have to research and trust other sources to find good courses. So as long as the official courses are engaging I'm good.
I don't care about career modes and Tour, etc. I just like to fire up the Xbox and play 18 on interesting real and fantasy courses.
It's not hard to find reliable, pro-level designers. All of the top designers in the world create courses for TGC Tours. Look here, and you can be assured you're getting the highest quality:
Haven't done a bunch of searching and sifting through articles and videos for this, so I realize some effort could probably give me the answer, but humor me...
Can you have an Online Tour (or Society? Don't know) using a created schedule with user created courses? If so, that's insane, because with that many courses, you'd never play the same course twice in a league.

Exactly, not being aware of the top course designers who have been around since sierra's golf game is understandable if you're a casual golf game fan but they have delivered better courses then many of those included in countless game. If they have upped the on course game, which JC and Divot both say they have then this will be one of the best games on the market.
I'll admit I'm still a bit confused on how societies work and I'd love for them to put out a version that works on a simulator.

Designers like Craig LeVasseur, Andre Quenneville, Mikael Thunberg, Wendy Airey and others at TGCTours are alchemists who blend incredible artistic talent and craftsmanship. Their work is far superior to anything EA ever has designed, especially considering the probably more limited tools at their disposal through TGC.
I'm in awe of their work most of the time.

I'm not saying those folks aren't good, and I'm sure I will find my way to some lists of great courses. But I still 100% prefer real courses. It was pretty darn cool to play the Play the Pro tournaments on EA's games, on the same course you see on TV. I would watch more golf on TV and play more. RMPGAT's take on courses was flipping amazing.
And for just turning the game on and play amazing courses, RMPGAT was fantastic. And their fantasy courses were pretty great, too.
But I do like some sort of progression. I don't care if it is sim, or just made up. But something that measures your progress. And I like what I've seen from TGC2. I do hope they have stuff like the ability to look at your past scorecards and better stat tracking. Those were major dropped balls on RMPGAT.
If TGC2 is good enough, I'll probably sell my PS4. About the only thing I'm looking forward to is the new Hot
Shots golf game they have coming. I have not even been playing The Show much.

There are FAR more real courses available in TGC than Rory. It's not even close. How does 158 sound, just from the TGC Tours site?
The only one that you won't find by name is Augusta, due to The Masters' incredibly zealous protection of its licensing rights. Augusta is called Magnolia National in TGC, and it's fantastic. Courses with pin placements for each day of The Masters, the par-3 course, etc.

I still don't know how this game is only $39! There are so many games out there for $59 that are a joke. These guys listen to their fans and bust their ass on the game. The new animations were needed and look great. JUNE 27 baby!

$32 if you pre-order through Amazon Prime.
Same with BB Gamers Club Unlocked if you want the disc version.
I might pull a Halley's Comet here and go digital. We play TCG so much, and it has provided so much long-term value, that I'm not too worried about trade-in value and appreciate the convenience of digital.
