It'd be nice if there was a sticky with the course names or links if that's possible. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I prefer the three click method, hate using the right stick.

I sort of understand the reasons for that compromise, but still...if the Links game on the original XBox could get it right on putting, and that game came out forever ago, it seems bizarre to me that 10 years later we still can't get this figured out...

I just want the putting %'s to be consistent. Right now medium speed greens, with an inch or two uphill can get you varying results. at 25% one putt it will go 15 ft and 25% on another put it will go 35 ft.

Wow, they changed something with the swing. I just started playing (haven't for about a week or more) and I can't hit very well anymore.

They also changed the shot modification.

Not in the list above is turn based multiplayer, and it seems to work very well.

I know this is completely unrelated to The Golf Club, but how awesome would it be if some company made a generic football game, basically allowing us to create leagues up to 120 teams (hello CFB replacement), custom roster, uniform, stadium editor, all on PC. One day I hope for this.

Back to TGC...

Anyone play with the new swing mechanics yet?
