TGC 2019 Society - SEASON 2

[mthunt]

There’s a super strange computer glitch on this weeks course. I didn’t see it when I looked at the course. On 9 the glitch is it shows the pin in a strange spot just right of the green. The hole plays out to the green but it’s strange. Hit E to see the layout of the hole. Hit to the right of the fairway bunker then hit it on the green using the scout came to get your distance. Then putt out no gimmie.

Sorry about this. It wasn’t there when I tested it.

mthunt Honestly the first bounce and ball physics engine. I find the greens play much better in 19, but when the ball lands on the rough or fairways I find it unrealistic. Especially the low shots. A low duck hook is my miss. When my crap shot some how goes 250 yards bounces off a hill and course corrects to the green 30 yards offline it takes the fun away and feels arcade like. We have all had those crazy bounces in real life, but in 19 its way too frequent. I know this is a major issue to correct.

In regards to the tour. The courses are either bomb and gouge or some narrow windy course. My home course in real life is Sahalee so I do prefer a course management style course. My personal opinion is that noonan's course selection has been better for simulator and have play had more course management. When he has picked bomb and gouge the courses are around 7,000 yards. Some of the courses have had little bugs that you notice and correct. This weeks was really bad, but I understand that having multiple hole locations makes QCing the course a lot more difficult. My last gripe might be lack of skill, but the some of the protee tour's courses greens have been impossibly difficult. The only way to score is by chipping within the 6 ft. I love that Protee is supporting a second tour and really want to be able to have two different events to play in when time allows.

Lastly I want to apologize for my comment on the society page. It was too harsh and I will see if I can take it down.

[mthunt]

Don’t take your comment down dude. It’s fine. I was kidding. Aside from the glitch there’s a few things.

1. First bounce. This is a HB TGC physics thing. I don’t see it being fixed. I tried it on the console version and it did it there. It would take too much IMO to fix. I could be wrong. I did pick this course. Lol
2. Bounce and roll. We may need to look at this. There is a lot of roll in the rough. It plays extremely firm. I’ll test softer terrain today. It’s a good point.
3. The greens. I don’t agree on this point. My gripe with TGC1 was shoot at the pin on all chips and it stuck. My home course is MIssissaugua. It plays firm on the greens. Wiz tried slower greens and everyone voted to play faster. It might be a getting used to it thing. Some guys are shooting 57-63 all the time. They can’t feel the same way. I’m starting to get used to the greens and find them good. My opinion.
4. Courses. I’ve made a couple of mistakes. I ran a poll a while back about courses and everyone wanted the course the pga tour uses. I try to stick to that. Wizard picks well known popular courses everyone, especially him, will like. The RCR courses I pick are usually accurate to what’s on TV. If you ever have a course you’re like “wow that was good” PM it to me. I keep a list and add courses people like when a real one doesn’t exist. There have been mistakes such as the wrong Pebble. It’s a sea of courses so with variety comes junk. It’s a work in progress.

Have fun and please keep making suggestions.

Ha! That was an interesting hole. Somehow got turned around and hit a nice approach shot onto the wrong green across the pond. Then couldn't get Skytrak to read a 1 ft putt!

[Jard]

Made a par on #9 even with the glitch. lol

Then I found some water trouble later in the round.

I enjoy that you try to pick the courses the PGA Tour is playing. It makes it more fun when I run into trouble on a hole and then get to watch a pro make a similar mistake at some point. Also having Wizard's courses to play gives you options which is also fun. When Wizard played the slower greens that messed me up for that tourney and the next one trying to get the feel back, which I suppose is what would happen in real life, but I don't have time to practice on the green before playing to get the feel. My main problem so far is I can't drive the ball nearly as far as most of the guys that are winning. 280 carry is something I'll never see, but I'll keep trying to work on adding distance. I've just joined within the past year and I've enjoyed playing against some of you guys. The ghosts are great to play against. I enjoy having a silent rival to try and beat. Really enjoyed Wizards 77 the other week, so at least I beat a big hitter once.

[mthunt]

I enjoyed beating @wizardofcoz in a head to head match. Here's the link:

Glad wizard could be of service to both of you.

Good Morning guys,

So I only played one round of the bermuda but never seen my name on leader board
So I played first round of the Mayakoba but I'm not on the leader board. These are first rounds on 2019 protee society, I have not touched my settings since I upgraded, just wondering if I'm missing something

I did go into TGC settings. My user name was Kristian Paas instead of Paazy. So changed that, also my user ID was not the same so I changed that and updated that in my sim profile.
Anything else seem not right?

[KPaas]

I showed up! Lol Looking forward to the season.
Sorry for the dumb questions guys

[LotharFriend]

I don't know if that has been asked before but... Is there a way to display the weekly tournaments in a "thread" format similar to how the TGC tournaments are represented on the forum?

The current sticky display is very hard to navigate and the weekly updates seem more topical.

Great job keeping all this up to date guys!

[Wizard of Coz]

Instead of going to tgc website go tgc2019 website.

I agree 100% Finding results in this thread is extremely difficult. Especially on mobile.

I'd like to be able to pull shot data live for my Youtube stream. It IS available. I just cant get at it. I pulled this data from the print button just 3 seconds after the last shot at the shot showed up.

Have a look at this link. Data in this form would be great.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/15rqh0ji7-xUKmGo6s8vpjBTraCxsM05i/view?usp=sharing

Could someone at Protee (or whoever manages golfsimulatortours) point me in the right direction?

[MatalaWedge]

I might not have been able to make myself understood. What I would need is the "all shots" data from this page

http://golfsimulatortours.com/2019/player-profile.php?id=QjZGOS1DQTlCLUFDMEQtNkFGOC0zMEVF

More specifically I need a direct link to the data. Now it is behind lots of links and clicks and manual refresh. I can't be clicking and refreshing it during my stream. I'd like an address to the data and then I could set up a system that pulls the data in to my stream every minute or so.

Anyone able to help me out?

Can with a gc2 but not with SkyTrak

[MatalaWedge]

I kinda got it to work. not great though. I would like someone with access to the data help me out if possible, but this will do for now.

Have a look. It still needs work, but the basics are working.

Most browsers have an auto refresh add on or plugin. You could just get one of them and set it to say every 5 seconds or so and it will refresh the page for you. Otherwise you could get technical and write something yourself.

[MatalaWedge]

It auto refreshes every time that scene becomes active in obs. I think that will do the trick for now. Thanks for the tip though. I might try and get that working once this is stable.

[wbond]

This is very cool. Can you explain what you've done to get this to show up on your screen?

What is obs? Open Broadcaster Software? I am not up to speed on video streaming. Are you having to manually change the view each time to get that scene to refresh the TGC shot recording page?

Yes. Open broadcaster software. I can put a tutorial of how I did it up on my channel.

I have my 9 year old son (who can't play the tour because the protee licence system prevents it) change scenes as needed. He is out of shot but the most important part of the production when it comes to flow and production value. I definitely need to buy some proper cameras and lights but other than that I'm pretty satisfied with how it looks.

Have the 3rd round of this week's protee event coming out on my YouTube channel any minute. I have the new shot data up and running on it. Go have a look.
