Re: XBOX 360 Country Club (TW13)

Weekly tournys are cool. Does anyone know if the pin location changes for each of the days? If so that would be my preference.

But Green Grid on. I was on last night around 10:30 pm until 12:00 am and no one came online? I was hoping to get some interclub matches. Trust me, I'm sure any of you will beat me based on your tourny scores so I'm no king of the hill looking for the next victim. I'm just looking for some friendly matches.

Do you guys have Pinehurst #2. I know the greens are a bitch but I have it and can't get a game online with it. Would love to see a weekly tourney with it.

Also, last night I saw a 6 rounds for the price of three for Oakmont. Highly reccomend getting it if you have not for future tourny's.

Re: XBOX 360 Country Club (TW13)

I played a round of the weekly at Sawgrass w/o the grid and shot +3, I believe.

It's an interesting challenge, but the greens are just too difiicult to read. When you are on a real course, you can at least feel the slope by walking around on the green, sizing up your shot and the break. That's just not possible here, and especially difficult for multiple breaks.

I agree that part of the challenge means you have to putt safely, try to play your approach shots MUCH more accurately to leave short putts. That is fun in it's way as a challenge, I appreciated that last night. I could even see playing without the grid on some play now games or H2H to up the challenge and be more 'real life' in scoring, though.

I don't know...there's pluses and minuses to the grid off. I guess it's one helluva equalizer LOL.

Everyone should at least have a go at it and see what you think. One complete round.

Re: XBOX 360 Country Club (TW13)

Just for clarification... Goalie just got the admin status and set up the tournaments.... There is a learning curve there as stupid things are defaulted and Green Grids off is one of them...

Add to that, once the round is created, EA in its infinite wisdom did not give the admin the ability to change settings... He is aware now and future tournaments will have better settings... Grin and bear it for a bit until he figures out the stupid little things EA does that frustrate us....

Thanks,

The Guru

Re: XBOX 360 Country Club (TW13)

Ohh and new tip I learned yesterday... With Grids off....

Use the Aiming marker to determine break... Put it at the hole and move side to side and see the above feet below feet change... Then, put it in the middle of the putt and do the same... That will tell you some subtle breaks that cant be seen....

Unfortunately, I do not have near the patience to do that and I will just putt away and hope for the best....

Thanks goalie! Appreciate you stepping up and becoming a GM, man.

Nyteshade, sorry I was too sleepy to play more after my weekly round last night
