I started compiling a list of settings/tips/etc for myself because I forget or lose the thread on here. It has kind of evolved into a quick guide of sorts and covers a lot of FAQs that are asked a lot. Figured I would post it on here for anyone to use. let me know if I missed anything and I'll update it. Hoping this could be pinned on the forum.
TGC 2019 QUICK GUIDE
SETTINGS FILE ON DESKTOP
These settings seem to work best for most people to create the most real experience.
Greens would average around a 10 stimp with these settings combined with in game course conditions (see settings in TGC).
Green Stimp: 6
Green Softness: 1
Green Speed: 3
High Spin Shot Correction: OFF
Straight Put Patch: ON
Driver Boost: 5 (optional depending on LM)
Shot Recording: ON
SETTINGS IN TGC
Before Match, go to Course Conditions tab and change to:
Green Speed: Moderate
Green Firmness: Very Soft
Terrain Firmness: Soft or Very Soft
For optimal projection, make sure time of day is midday with 0 clouds for most courses.
TWEAK & TIPS
FEWER MISREADS
To cut down on how many misreads you get, try these tips:
Point logo of ball at LM
Don’t use white tees
Do not wear white shoes or pants
Do not have anything white or shiny behind where you swing and where the LM takes images
SKYTRAK BALL PLACEMENT
Driver: place ball behind red dot
Irons: place ball direct on red dot
Wedges: place ball 1in in front of red dot
Putter: place ball behind red dot
PUTTING TIPS
Straight Putt Patch ON.
Calculate an assigned value for how fast the lines at each grid box are moving and aim accordingly.
Go to mthunt dead flat range and learn what putting to a number feels like. Concede to Hole 2 and it is a putting course.
Set your Camera View to hide the ball and try hitting closer to screen, around 6.5ft, to help visualize the put.

Shot Recording saves all data from every shot in the game on the tour site under your name. You can export the data for use in a big data tool. Make sure you change the game to your actual club you are using for this data to be accurate for analysis. The game usually has something like 5 iron selected when I’m hitting a 7 or even 8 Iron.

ACCESSORIES
HITTING MAT:
If you want to avoid injury, there are 2 main options below. This is a must-have in my opinion.
FiberBuilt
Divot Action

You can DIY the Divot Action if you want:

TEES:
Birtees or rubber tee holders work best. FiberBuilt sells a tee holder.
Try to use tees that are not white. Red and Black seem to cause least amount of misreads.
CONTROL BOX:
If your computer is not directly at your hitting location, this box is a huge time-saver. You can tap any of the buttons with your clubhead to aim, club up/down, target view, flyoever, rewind and more.
Additional options are wireless mini keyboard, Voice Attack, and AirBoard on iPad/iPhone.
