Haha, great advice and funny comment.

I did the purchase from remote and it was DL once I got home. Nice to see the Xbox One added that option. I can tell this will be a love and hate game for most. I love it personally as I am not the greatest to begin with, so not having all the boosts and other fluff will make this more realistic to me. Putting and chipping are tough. Graphics are not the best as most have mentioned. Love the ghost ball feature. The one issue I have with it is the menu when it lags communicating with the server or something. I hope that is a launch thing and will get cleared up. I like the announcer, but the menu music makes me want to cry Easily worth a purchase in my opinion and since it will continue to be updated in the future with more content, improvements, and custom courses from the community, $35 may end up being a steal.

Well, I coudlnt take getting disconnected any longer, so I went offline, im on the 13th tee right now shooting -10 at little brook manor. I know its the easy course, but I needed it to get used to this, Im starting to get the putting better now.

I sure hope this game will save my stats even if im offline, but im doubting it. Which sucks, cuz im -10, with an eagle in the round lol

edit: and after I opened my mouth... I bogey the 13th lol Typical golfers luck.

Looks like the menu lag and disconnects were due to loaded servers according to HB. Shortly after I posted, the lag stopped in the menu, so they seem to be working it out.

How do I play with a friend? I'm in the same party as him (and the same house too..) and we cannot see each other even though we're playing on the same course at the same time. I'm under the impression it auto-joins you with your friends on XBL if you're playing the same course?

Also, I hit start when I'm in game and go to "Active Friends" - it shows all my buddies names, and then two columns next to them, both with "-" in it. I hit A on my buddy, and then hit A again on "Send Invite", but he doesn't get an invite.

Am I doing anything wrong, or is it just some kind of bug...?

Neither of us hit "Go Offline" from the main menu either.

I just finally got through my first round online. Shot -15 this time at Little Brook Manor. Looks like they may have gotten the issues worked out.

Im confused though, I go into my stats, and it says my average score is E. Really strange...

Keep in mind you're not getting this tip from Arnold Palmer. I saw the option one time and it let me resume. It was the first time I lost connection earlier today. I could swear the "RESUME GAME" appeared on the main menu above "PLAY" replacing "TEE-OFF". That bit of info isn't going to help much until they fix this issue. It's a current complaint on The Golf Club forums.

Yeah, that's what happened. I just fired it up and it let me resume my last disconnected game.

EDIT: As a matter of fact if you choose a course where you were last disconnected or exited you can jump back in or start a new game. So there are are multiple games you can "rejoin" But it appears that the only way you can do it is by selecting the course. Not a perfect interface, particularly if you played a course off the front menu.

But the "CONTINUE GAME" on the main menu won't always show up. Make sure you advance past the screen that has the Yards-Green Speeds-Difficulty to get to the "CONTINUE GAME" prompt.

In early access, when you quit mid round or lost connection, go to main menu and hit tee off. Takes you where you left off.
