El Pistolero was enjoyable over the weekend when I played in the Open for All society. Haven’t tried the other one yet.DivotMaker wrote:Bicho de Sete Cabeças and El Pistolero (tour) are playing this week in the TGC Tours lineup substituting for the real course in Mexico.10spro wrote:Vader, check your PM.

Changed weekend tourney to El Pistolero. Wouldn’t let me search for the Bicho course as it said the name was caught by their profanity filter, EA needs their filter for the trashy team and player names in the EASHL.

Re: HB Studios Next-Gen golf game: The Golf Club
Nice improvements. Like the fact that they will go digital again, an improved career mode is welcomed and who wouldn’t like a game of skins among friends? Are we looking about a year from now for the new release?

Thinking out loud here fellas....should we consider starting a The Golf Club 2019 thread to not get confused in this one?

El Pistolero weekend tourney results, nice second round score John.

Re: HB Studios Next-Gen golf game: The Golf Club
Thanks Mark, but you were your own worst enemy in the final two rounds; you hit a number of approaches that wound up in similar spots on the green and I owe you tuition for all of your putts I went to school on. There were at least a half dozen that I don't think I'd have made if I had seen what happened to your putt. I should defer to James also, I made and eagle putt and two birdies off of insight I gained from watching his putts. Even in ghost mode play with turn base play off, you can still learn a lot from watching telemetry.vader29 wrote:El Pistolero weekend tourney results, nice second round score John.
Re: HB Studios Next-Gen golf game: The Golf Club
Thanks Tim, that second round I was "on far" with the putter as my IRL playing companions says We lost a couple of the field after the second round and I hope it wasn't because I put that ridiculous looking score up thereDivotMaker wrote:vader29 wrote:El Pistolero weekend tourney results, nice second round score John.

Really though, an asterisk needs to be put beside my name for this tournament win... one that says "Player clubs" I'd gotten so wild in the previous two months that I'd been beaten down from playing out of the heavy rough. I'm having to lay up on a couple of par 5's per round now, and while it's a bit discouraging to see my ghost playing companions up ahead putting for eagle, while I'm hitting a 40 pitch for my third, my scoring is better overall when hitting from the fairway.
I'm about to try Tour clubs again as I feel like I may have gotten some of my technique and confidence back from using Player clubs.
Re: HB Studios Next-Gen golf game: The Golf Club
I wasn't really expecting to do as good as I did as the Pistolero 2 day tourney in the official society I finished -2 and then played one round of the Tour version and finished +2 on it.J_Cauthen wrote:

Re: HB Studios Next-Gen golf game: The Golf Club
Having played Innisbrook a number times in real life I can tell you the greens are not that hard or fast. Maybe it is because of my familiarity with the course but I think that is a bad recreation in general.

Re: HB Studios Next-Gen golf game: The Golf Club
I think most of the fast greens in this game are too fast, hope the 2019 version tones them down. I only played the first round last night and the wind was driving me crazy, saw 21mph on one hole, hopefully the next 3 rounds won't be that bad.Danimal wrote:Having played Innisbrook a number times in real life I can tell you the greens are not that hard or fast.

Re: HB Studios Next-Gen golf game: The Golf Club
Yep, I didn't comment on the wind it was crazy. I was in birdie position on holes 1 and 2 and took a triple and double bogey. Some of that had to do with my dog jumping in my lap and the rest was the crazy greens. I had a 7 foot putt that was downhill 2 inches, I barely touched it and had a 35 footer coming back.vader29 wrote:I think most of the fast greens in this game are too fast, hope the 2019 version tones them down.

Innisbrook is one of my favorite venues for a golf trip so I'm probably being too picky with the course recreation.

TGC1 had a better feel when putting the ball. I'm basically playing that over TGC2.

Sure hope there is some give and take on that issue. Got to have some differentiation from round to round other than pin positions.
Re: HB Studios Next-Gen golf game: The Golf Club

I will no longer play firm/fast settings as they are too exaggerated in this game. Especially when many of the cups don't have a 3 foot flat radius around the cup.

Valspar? More like the 4-putt Classic.

Re: HB Studios Next-Gen golf game: The Golf Club
More like 5-putt classic... I pulled that off on the 17th hole; but at least it was from 52 feet The hole was 1 foot below me on my birdie putt. I set the targeting pole to 32 feet and aimed for it. The ball rolled, and rolled, and rolled, 25 feet past the hole and off the front of the green, through the fringe and into the fairway. My second "putt" was actually a chip, which I put 13 feet beyond the hole. I missed that putt and went 10 feet beyond the hole, after setting the aiming pole 6 feet short of the hole. Missed that one and made the 2 footer for a triple bogey, after "putting" for a birdie.RobVarak wrote:Valspar? More like the 4-putt Classic.
I'm lucky I got that far, as I almost rage quit on 7 and 13. My dog left the room 4 times during my round, after my outbursts, and didn't come back after the fourth. If I finish this tournament, it will be a miracle, as it has rage quit potential written all over it. It's shame because the course looks great, but these greens are beyond anything resembling terrestrial physics!

Re: HB Studios Next-Gen golf game: The Golf Club
I lost count of the number of times I hit the hole and it spun out on that course. Not only spinning out but then rolling 7-10 feet.
I pretty much stopped caring when I had a 9 footer, barely hit it and it went 49 feet. There is no way on God's green earth that I have every blown a putt by the hole 40 feet IRL. This tournament almost killed any interest in continuing to play.
