It's on sale often, PGA Tour 2K23. If you ever pick it up, give Duck Hook Divot Diggers a look!

I certainly will It's fun to play against others.

Got a crazy idea-If we could get more Subsimmers to download this game we could have a Subsim tournament.

I'll be the first to sign up. It's easy, and fun. I'll be happy to host it if needed.

We could play St Andrews in a gale.

Actually, we wouldn't need to have any special event, although we could, but I have a tournament every week and you are all free to join. Just drop me a line or post here and you're in. Current event ends Tuesday.

I dont need a damn gale to terribly push my drive to the right side anyway, I do it all the time even without a gale and even when sleepwalking...

Pilots call it a barrel roll. I call it the corkscrew manouver. It sucks. LOL

Yeah Skybird, that's it. That sort of ball flight would bore right through the wind

Corkscrew drive in to a stiff wind sounds perfect.

For anyone liking city builders, I would recommed Songs of Syx. It is one of those games many have probably seen, but never played. Graphically it is not much to look at, but what it lacks in that department it more than makes up for in depth and complexity. You start with 10 people, building a barely sustainable village and end up with a city that can house tens of thousands of people. The game also has combat, something like lite-Total War, and the ability to conquer neighboring cities.

You can try a free demo, which is the full game but one version behind the current stable version.

No one from here has joined us. With the game on sale the timing's never been better. New event starts Tuesday. It's free to join, you can come and go as you please, skip events if you want.

Settings are fairly forgiving, much of it is set as client-side so your personal preferences apply. A few settings are locked to make it a level playing field, but there's quite a bit of latitude too, so players of all skill levels can get their groove on.

There's a swing stick method and for 23 they have added a three-click swing method that is easier when swing timing is set to on, which it is in most societies, including ours.

I bought the game today and have tried to exercise the swing..without any luck so far. The ball only fly 10 meters or so.

Don't know what I'm doing wrong though. Thinking of skipping it and go directly to carrier.

When I get to know the game a bit more I'm going to join your
"Duck Hook Divot Diggers Club" club.

Try three-click method. Make sure swing timing is on in the settings, because that's what we use in the society. And you don't want to get used to one way and have it all fall apart when you play in our events.

Swing stick with timing off is too easy. Swing stick with timing on is too hard. So I switched to three-click.

There is a practice range where you can go and ht balls until you've got the hang of it. There's also a calibration mode but I'm not sure what it does.

We have been using this thread for our society in case it might come in handy, just skip to the end

How do I activate this three-click method ?

Markus

Threadfin · 02-23-24, 12:44 PM

Under Controls, Swing Input.

I use a controller, and three-click is hold A to set the power, then you release and click at the top to set the swing path, and again at the bottom of the circular meter to set club face. It can be done with the mouse too.

Have a look at the archetypes as well, as these have some bearing on your strengths and weaknesses. I use Sculptor personally as it gives me the best control over my ball flight. But try them all and find which one suits you best.
