Nice! I've not got anywhere near to one. Much like real golf I struggle with consistency. In my PGA Tour mode I won a comp with a 12 under round of 60, then having thought I'd cracked it, the next comp I finished +5.

I think I was similar as some of the courses early on have mental greens so birdies are at a premium.
Just smashed the Royal Open, that course is superb. One thing I've noticed is the physics on the greens are a bit wrong, the ball breaks too early if you get what I mean.

We've got another mate on it now so three of us playing online together last night. We tried somebody's created Royal Portrush and the greens were ridiculous, we all struggled with that. Tried a few others like St Andrews & Pebble Beach, they were tough but I did well on PB. We then played TPC Scottsdale which is actually on the game, and I did well there, think I finished -2.
Enjoying it but chipping is such a minefield. If you're close enough that a full LW 'chip' is too long then I have absolutely no idea how to judge to the power. It seems like I go 50% and he duffs it, the next time I go a bit more, 90% he launches it over the other side. I can never get it right. It's so much easier if you're in range for a flop shot instead. Also if I'm just on the fringe I just switch to the putter, but if you're off the fringe and in rough you can't putt it or he duffs that as well.

We did a round at Carnoustie last night. Turns out it's incredibly boring in computer game form. Just long, straight hole after long, straight hole. 
The wind was slightly higher and the greens were tough, but that's not as interesting on the game as in real life.

I’ve got Royal Melbourne lined up for later, hopefully it’s pretty good.
Finished my first full season last night, won a lot of comps and the FedEx at the end, some courses are proper tough with greens which make it hard to get birdies.

Just played Cypress Dunes, lovely course and quite tight on the drives, managed -6 with two bogies.
Handicap is +12 now 😲😂

There's now four of us who have the game so last night we all went on and did fourball matchplay. It was a good laugh but it takes FOREVER because you have to watch each player take their turn unlike the individual formats where you all play at once. My team won it 6 & 5 I think and it still took about an hour and 20 minutes to do the 13 holes. It was enjoyable though, slightly added pressure on the key putts when you know the other three players are all watching you.

Are people still playing TGC19? I'm still hooked and playing it several nights a week. Three mates are still playing so we often have four ball and foursomes matches going. I still struggle with the chipping which is my main weakness. 
If my mates aren't online, I've joined a couple of societies to play in, as they usually put good courses up to play. There are some unreal players of this game in there, some of these guys are going 30s and 40s under par for a four round comp! Whereas I'm coming in more like -15.
My bag set-up is driver, 2 wood, then just 3 iron down. I figured you need to have a 2 wood since it's the longest club you can hit off the deck so it helps on par 5s. There is a big gap between that and the 3 iron, but I kept finding par 3s where I didn't have a 4 iron or a 3 iron I needed and didn't have. I've figured out though that if you hit the 2 wood with a slow backswing, it can take 15 or 20 yards off which plugs the gap quite well - and the best way to get a consistently slow backswing is simply to do a brief Matsuyama pause at the top.

Haven't played it for a while, I got back into Black Ops 4 and other games so this is on the back burner for now.
I managed to complete two full PGA seasons and cleaned up most matches so I'll need to notch up the difficulty next time.

Yeah I got bored of the PGA single player mode, the courses are all relatively easy. That's why I started playing in the society rounds instead. They tend to be on the user-created courses which can be a lot tougher.

How do you join societies mate?

Just scroll across on the main menu to online societies. There will be a big list of them, I pretty much just chose three at random (don't think there's a limit to how many you can join). I chose ones that had a lot of members as I figured they'd be the most active. One of them charged me a small fee of in-game coins (I have like 35,000 of them so wasn't a problem lol) and I had to wait for them to approve it, but the other two I just got in for free immediately I think. It's really easy you can pretty much join quickly and start entering the events.

Anyone still playing this on ps4? Ive got my handicap down to 1 and just started my own course.

TGC19 I still play, yeah. My handicap is +17 since handicaps are broken anyway. I took one look at the course creator and it looked like it would take about a year to create anything decent so I didn't bother with that. Respect to anyone who actually puts in the hours and makes a good course with it.

Just noticed TGC2 is reduced to £2.49 on the PS Store. Not 2019, but if you've not played a TGC game, then £2.49 is worth it to give it a go.

I had a look at getting this earlier, still full price on the usual sources. For £2.49 I'll just get that until I'm bored.

I just got 2019 on PC for a tenner and then downloaded via Steam.
Have to say, early impressions are good. Like the swing mechanics and the greens are realistic in terms of pace and break.
Designing a course at the minute and had a go at Sawgrass last night, I will put +9 on the front nine down to just being tired ?
