Man I wish I could run this game at medium detail graphics. I love the look of the pond you've got on the 4th hole, BleedingRed, and the way you've got that dried/dead grass area along the steep bank on the backside of the pond. The water really takes a hit in low detail though, in many cases you have a little trouble deciding that it's water.

It's weird, I installed the March 17th Catalyst beta drivers today for my Radeon HD 7500. I actually saw an average ~5% performance increase. I'm now seeing an average of ~32 FPS at Autumn Ridge, 1st tee, where I had been seeing 30/31 (low detail). However, even at the lowest res I can run (1152 x 648), I still can't run medium graphics detail. The frame rate chugs along at 19-20 fps with those settings. Heck, I can get 27 - 29fps now at 1920 x 1080p in low detail. It's just amazing how much of a performance hit this game creates going from low to medium. But I guess that's the price you have to pay if you want water that looks like "water" instead of purple lava from Rigel 12!?

I'm still anxious to play your course though. It doesn't have that cookie cutter look that I've seen in so many of them.

Any indication of this game supporting Oculus Rift?... Cause if it does I can totally see myself coming home from work, slapping on the VR goggles and totally relaxing to a few rounds of golf in the evening.

Finally had a decent round (I'm pretty terrible at this game.) I had quite a few shots I felt were lucky. Bad first shot on 8 left me with a tough choice, but I feel I made the right one (which I believe Macho had trouble with the water, where I would have been had the sand not been in the way.)



That's the first time I've ever been anywhere near being at par, let alone under, on a course (normally I'm 1-2 shots over for every hole.)

Poor Mach.

LOL Macho. Need to start playing your ghost ball! I am around 14-20 over all the time.

Thanks man. The front nine is finished in terms of layout. Going to knock out the back nine this week and then add the small details and make sure you can still score good with smart shots.

Luckily I am fortunate enough to run 1920x1080 on high and haven't had any problems. The game will get better optimized and will be able to run a lot better I'm sure.

Here I am getting publicly named (and shamed!). I know I know, I really need to work on my game! I can't wait until full tournaments get going. OS bragging rights at stake!

Scores like that.. I don't think me or you will be bragging on anything! LOL

So... uh... *cough* don't play this course if you want to think you're decent at all. If you shoot a nice round, congrats. You kicked the **** out of me.

I got absolutely punished by every single tiny mistake, and the putting here was no joke. It really showed me how terrible I am at the putting in this game.

Protip: Not for the faint of heart.
