I hope they made the swing something other than math. I feel like they nailed putting in TGC1. No meter, no power bar, just feel and experience. That is how the rest of the swings need to play out. It isn't really much of a game when you can get 100% swings almost all the time and then it is just a matter of putting the "math grid box" to 80%, 90% etc. That isn't golf. You need timing, tempo, swing path to judge distance/slice/hook.
TheBrew101, I'm involved in the beta for this game, and while I can't go into specifics, I can tell you that your concerns have been firmly addressed in TGC 2. I had quit playing TGC 1 over a year ago because of the very things you cited as buzz killers. I've been playing Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf almost exclusively in the meanwhile... UNTIL I got involved in the TGC 2 beta. You're going to be amazed at how much less formulaic TGC 2 is in comparison to 1... it is now a living, breathing entity!

The biggest thing I hope gets fixed is the frame rate. Courses like The colonial grand and Crawford mines or others with a lot of extra stuff (trees, water, plants etc..) come to almost a stand still.
Absolutely!! The performance of TGC is embarrassing especially on consoles. The game feels disgusting to play and is almost never at 30 fps. Microsoft and Sony shouldn't let developers release games that are sub 30 fps ..... it's just wrong.
If the frame rate performance improvement I'm seeing in the PC version of TGC 2, over TGC 1 in the beta is any indication of the type of performance improvements that will be seen in the console versions, the game will be seen in a more favorable light! I can't go into specifics at this point, but I can say that I was shocked at how much better the frame rates are in the PC version

The game performance is fine on the official courses, unfortunately when you provide a tool like the course designer you 1) can't use any of the techniques that would normally improve performance, as you have no idea what people are going to create and 2) you have to rely on the designers to take into account performance on other machines outside of their speced up pc's

Not sure if you can answer or not, but will this be the same for TGC2? I know others have said the frame rate has improved, but I'm assuming they are playing official courses and not so much user generated ones in the beta. Can't tell if you're referring to TGC1, TGC2 or both.

Not sure if answering would violate the NDA, so all I will say is my framerates have doubled over TGC1 on PC.
Have not seen the consoles but I would like to think the framerates have improved similarly, yet I do not want to raise expectations on something I have not seen, only the PC version.
All will soon be revealed....still 6+ weeks prior to release.
Not true. The games performance is poor on all levels. This includes official courses and user generated courses (all I ever played was official courses 99% of the time) The hole fly by's are the worst. Wanna take a look at beautiful hole # 4?? Put on these glasses made for sub 20 fps and get ready to put band aids on your eye balls.
One things for sure.........FPS can only get better in TGC2.
