The Golf Club 2

[Baddar]

A couple of fun rounds there. Forgot to bring my putter today, which didn't help. Good to see you getting to grips with it a lot more now. You kicked my ass on that first course.

[Meacon Keaton]

Just dumb luck I think. You just missed on those narrow fairways and I managed to simply not mess up.

It was nice finally being able to discuss the courses now that you solved your "technical issues".

[Baddar]

Yeah, it always helps when you're able to find that "on" button.

Talking whilst playing is fun.

[Meacon Keaton]

85 and 83 on the first two rounds of Q-School. All enjoyment from this game is lost.

[Meacon Keaton]

94 on the third round and the fourth round is fucking Son Gual. Is it possible to score so low that they say, "Sorry, you don't get a card. Try next month's Q-School?" because if not, I may be the first. This is ridiculous.

[Baddar]

Trust me, you're certainly not the first to do badly on Q School. Don't let it get you down!

[Thrilla]

Just did the Q-School Tour

Mount Yeti - 76 (+4)

Whispering River - 75 (+3)

Copper Creek - 74 (+3)

Son Gual Desert - 84 (+12)

Kodiak Reserve Light - 80 (+8)

Crawford Mines 72 (+1)

Overall - (+31)

 

Was going alright until those middle two rounds, only a couple holes on each that threw a spanner in the works as well.

 

[Meacon Keaton]

Boo. You should have sucked more so you could start at the bottom with me!

So TGC Tours now support full tournament information for each player. That's pretty awesome.

They did decide to stick with the method of submitting your own scores through their site though, rather than relying on this new system to do it automatically. I support this anyway, as it's more true to life.

[Thrilla]

Oh yeah, I did this yesterday as well

 

Suck it, Meac!

[Meacon Keaton]

Don't try to one-up me, jerk.

[Liam]

Are you now enjoying this, Thrilla?

[Thrilla]

As soon as Baddar said that six was the number to use in figuring things out, the whole game became so much simpler and enjoyable.  Before then I was basically playing in the dark.

I'm creeping closer to the thought of picking this up sometime in the not too distant future. How long generally do rounds tend to take on this, allowing for performance obviously? Due to it being more simulation I figure it's not something that's too easy to get into, since I have coordination issues how sensitive are the swing metres, would a slight variance in back swing on stick degenerate into a massive slice for example or would it be relatively as planned, albeit not a perfect shot? Just gauging a feel for it before spending anything on some thing I don't get the chance to really play or physically can't play. Naturally not much in the way of references to dyspraxia in most reviews and no luck searching their forums for people with issues!

[Thrilla]

I think I may be able to share play the game with you sometime? What is your PSN? Might be the easiest way to gauge the game.

Just got my tour card for the TGC, am in Challenge Circuit-C.  First tournament is next week at Hobble Creek G.C.

[Meacon Keaton]

I'm in Challenge Circuit-D. You should have sucked more!

Give it a try first via Shareplay, but I think you'll be absolutely fine. Hitting a shot slightly off straight doesn't mean a complete pull.

[Thrilla]

Baddar may be the better placed person to share the game with you if he's ever available as he has a headset and knows what he is doing.  I'd pretty much just throw you in at the deep end as I have no knowledge or headset >_> But, I'm on the PS4 most nights from 19:00 to 23:00 BST, so just shoot me a message (Pants_83)if you do want a try.
