Old Timers Competition

[tarheel]

I played Round 3 so that someone can play along with me before they play their round 3. I don't know where my head was in this one. I did a lot of good things, but I also did several really boneheaded things, creating dirty situations. Duffer or pro, you decide.

One thing decided about this course is that the front 9 is significantly easier than the back 9. Two rounds for me and there is a clear difference in performance both times half vs half.

And here is Round 4 if you want to play with it. I'll wait and play round 2 with a couple of players if other rounds are posted. I think I had very consistent play this time, but I found this a tough round.

I've had more than a few moments like this so far in my three rounds!

Hey Brad,

thanks for posting your Rds 3 and 4. Just played against your Rd 3 and if it wasn't for your "boneheaded" things you would have had a great score. Thankfully, my boneheaded things didn't cost me anywhere near as much as they cost you, so pretty happy with my Rd 3.

Great eagle on the second hole!

Cheers

Brad

Here is my 2nd round. I keep forgetting how much the ball lie affects the aiming in JN6. A bit crazy, but good for the gameplay. I was happy with the round, only one wet this time.

And here is my final round. I watched my round played alongside Goran and Brad (Nice Ace!). And I agree with you Goran, this game has a lot of jump on those sidehills in the long irons and woods. I've been playing PGA23 concurrently with this game, and my judgement gets thrown off a little when I switch between the two!

This is a fun golf course. I'm looking forward to playing it again in a couple of months on my PGA tour and wonder how I will do then having had four rounds to get to know the golf course.

My round 2:

Hello and thank you for letting me join the competition!

A bit of a rough start to my first real time with this game. I suppose halfway through that I wanted to go big on numbers and started playing to rack up points.

[BradTheDad]

Welcome aboard Lupin! As we have all finished Rd 1, it is time for a score update. Obviously, as this is the first rounds for Goran and Lupin, their handicaps mean that they will both score 36 Stableford points. This will start to vary as their handicaps change. At the moment however, there is very little in any of the competitions.

Goran, while your Rd 2 score isn't much different to Rd 1, you clearly played better and were badly let down again by putts not getting to the hole. Might be time for a new putter my friend.

Great Rd 2 Brad.

I will provide another update when I have Lupin's Rd 2. I am still hoping that Mikey will also join us. I have written to him asking if he is interested.

Cheers

Brad

Yes my putter has to be exchanged, as the person holding it naturally can not be blamed
Perfect Golf differs in two ways, first the sidehill lies that I dont even take into consideration in PG. Secondly the putting, they roll forever compared to JN, but on the other hand they dont turn as much except in the end when they start rolling slower.
So it takes some getting used to again lol. The good thing is I dont click in PG so I dont have to adjust to the tempo. Great fun though, thanks for letting me join!

Should also mention I am not sure I want to play 4 full rounds on each course. We have online tournies in PG and I am playing lots of rounds there, also pairups and other team rounds and they must come first.

My 3rd round. I installed the HD patch from day 1 which makes this old beloved game looks beautiful, but the grid starts showing one meter in front of the ball sometimes and that makes it harder bc of how important sidehills lie are. Not complaining, I like it and I think it makes it less predictable.

[tarheel]

can you set the grid size to custom to get it out of way?
