SS you know I'm slow with this type of thing.

Give me a few things in specific to check. I am currently uploading my Handsome Mug so give me about 15-20 min

First off I'm somewhat suprised at how well my "Created Golfer" came out. Pretty much spot on for a Video game.

Currently I'm at the RTTPGATour screen. Options are as follows.
1. American Amateur Tour
2. United Kingdom Amateur Tour
3. World Amateur Tour

I choose AAT.

Just looking at the "Course Mastery" for Wolf Creek GC it looks like it could take a while to unlock these courses.

Heres an example of the objectives
SILVER OBJECTIVES

4 Under Par
4 or less Hazards in a rd
30 Career FIRs
40 Career GIRs
10 Career One Puts
50 Career Pars or Better
2 Career Eagles or Better

GOLD OBJECTIVES

6 Under Par rd
Hazard Free rd
60 Career FIRs
80 Career GIRs
20 Career One Putts
100 Career Pars or Better
30 Career Eagles or Better
5 Career Eagles or Better

I guess one could go down to the lowest level and get there a lot quicker. If someone plays on Tour Pro/Tournament Level they will be in for a long grind which I would like if I where to take this route.

Looks like to all the Mastery Course unlocks have the same requirement for every course.

Nah, just doing the extra courses as DLC and done. Then I can play the game as I prefer, and enjoy all the courses when I want.

Playing my 1st rd on Pro/default at Augusta which I have never played before even with last yrs release. Thing of beauty!!! I'm +3 on the front and the short game is struggling. Putting woes are the biggest issues.

Gotta say I love the way the short game is done especially coming out the bunkers. No doubt its a nice to huge step up from last yrs game.

If done properly... basically gonna take 6 - 8 Rounds to master a course... 6 if you hit the fairways, greens, and score.... that is not unreasonable... Tournament players only will likely need to tone back to get the eagles and birdies...

Maybe, but it just seems like such a grind at least for me. Adds a ton of replay thats for sure.

Im just gonna dl the courses.

I can't say this enough that Tempo/Touch/Feel is gonna be HUGE when it comes to this game. This game is simply impressing me more and more. The Demo really got me interested, I figured it would be the same ole same ole. EA came with it this year. Will it have its issues?? Sure but this effort is a good improvement so far.

I am going to hold off a bit before downloading the courses... With the new courses on the CE and game, there will be plenty to play for at least 2 weeks. At that point I will work to open a course or two to see what kind of time frame I will be looking at... No matter what I do, I will want to master all of the courses anyway... that will take 6 rounds or so even if I buy them...so renting the course for the 6 rounds should net the same amount of work either way...
