Not right now, but we really have no access to the settings right now. I know this has been brought up often in the beta forums - so hopefully they inslcude the abaility to adjust and turn off all that stuff.

Thx bling - And I agree, trees are too sparse right now, fairway edges need adjusting, and I need to remove some trees and replace them with a different variety. As far as the straw, not really right now, but hopefully that is one of the items they add into the creator with the next build.

Ahhhh. Okay Thanks guys!! Not gunna get on PC but was just wondering.

Its supposed to be golf season already, but winter hasn't been very kind to us up here has it? I'm so ready for my first full year with my new Driver. And looking at possibly getting a new set of fairway woods and a putter.
Also not taking summer classes so I'm gunna live at the golf course

Still need to put some work in on elevation, trees, buildings, - pretty much everything, but its a start. Hole#1(Tea Olive)

Dammit Bob, fix the mow lines!!!!



LOL, j/k of course....looks great so far, especially since you don't have the proper trees or ground cover to work with for authenticity. But getting the lay of the holes right, looks good. How do you know to fix the elevations? Are they listed somewhere for you to use?

Hopefully they add the ability to create own fairway shape, otherwise, some courses will not be as accurate as they could be. Excited to see them keep updating the game and adding features.

True, my first round last year was in March, though I didnt play again until May. Which driver? Is there a particular brand youre looking at for your woods? I just bought some Callaway x-hot fairway woods last year and I love them to death.

Thanks Dan. I have already changed it quite a bit since that photo was taken. As far as elevation goes, I have no chart. So I am just going off memory from the 7 Masters tournaments I have been to - and the practice round I got to walk with Tom Watson.

They kind of have a way to do it now, but it could be much much simpler.

Awesome man, I am so excited for this game. I bought Links 2003 last night for $6.99 and have been playing it to fill the wait time for this. Links truly had the difficulty down pat. I am struggling so bad in that game.

Feel free to share your updates to Tea Olive! And the rest of the holes if you're so inclined
