Have you given playing without the zoom a fair shot?

I honestly was very much against it but gave it a shot and found it to find myself thinking far more about each shot (and thus, far more enjoyable for me).

It actually kind of brought me back to the game for a bit after I abandoned it for while. The only thing I don't like is not being able to know how the green sloaps on my approaches.

I have not, to be honest. I understand the idea behind it, but I guess just hard to accept in a video game. Maybe I'll try it again, although 3-click with the right settings is a good challenge.

I play no zoom. I use the back button and use that view to plan my shots. But knowing the green slopes would definitely be useful using that mode. I have found myself hitting good or decent shots only to have hit a huge mountain on the green and roll away, or roll back down.

I do like no zoom or aids. I play some holes to par. Survive them then try not t miss the birdie holes. Right now going into day 4 I'm 2 behind the leader, my 3rd round ballsy shot over the water, PLUNK, my drop and second shot over the water, PLUNK, put me in this spot.

Really enjoying this.

I also play with no zoom...I really like the overhead camera that gives you the distances to certain points on the hole (bunkers, water, front of green, etc.). The overhead view without zoom makes it feel a bit like you're on the course, consulting your caddie and yardage book.

I have combined that with the hardest swing difficulty and the 3-click mechanic. It's made this game much more challenging and rewarding.

How do I get to play the game? I downloaded, and my only option is to play with Rory or do some training. Is this seriously the entire game?

Where are the other golfers?

Downloaded is one thing. Fully installed is yet another. There are about 8 GB worth of updates you have to download and install as well. Be patient and wait for the game to completely install.

Pretty sure there's an into tutorial that you are Rory at the US Open. Complete that and you should get in to the game.

I'm impressed with this game, played it for a while and got hooked.

for those of you who play in the online tournaments, generally how many players are there? mainly interested in the one day tourneys. thanks

Great game !
Just lacks content.
Best physics system out there. Amazing ball to tree physics.
Wind speed isn't true though, 10mph winds doesn't move the ball much in real life.
Playing on tour pro with swing difficulty hard and no assists....

I can attest to the accuracy of these physics as this statement describes my real life golf game to a T

3 days ago took out NHL out of PS4 for 1st time since picking it up. Tossed Rory back in, switched to 3 click, and have to say I still like this game of golf! Haven't gone to the hard difficulty swing yet but it's coming.. Looks very unforgiving!

Don't tell that to HB studios!
The wind in The Golf Club is comic level joke of "over done".

Does Rory gain any benefit (performance perhaps?) at all from the PS4 Pro?

tried it.

I'm going to say yes or maybe its just placebo effects?

But i dont remeber it being this smooth or good looking.

This game definately is a 8/10 minus not having a better charcter creation tool to make Tiger Woods.

I haven't followed Rory in a while. I had to delete it from my HD to make room for other games. How many courses have been added since launch ?
 
# 600 Grinder12000 @ 01/11/17 12:17 AM
Picked this up yesterday, I was concerned about the lack of courses but yup, 19.

I like the game. I've never tried online tournaments or the ranked rounds. I just read about those tonight. GREAT - another obsession.
