TGC Tour - Valspar Championship (MAJOR)

[Vincent_Vega]

Definitely agree with Vincent and cobig here, wish the wind was something that could be forced on once we enter a tournament as well. I would have continued playing with it off without thinking if I didn't catch a random post saying it a few weeks ago. So for the forum addicts that check it like 10 times a day (myself included haha) it isn't too much of a problem, but for some others it could be.

Exactly. I'm sure there are people who arent even active on here that find the tournaments just by searching in TGC. Unless they know what the symbol for wind is on the tournament summary screen, there's no way they'd know to turn it on. I don't know, just an observation.

The wind can't be automatically set when organizing an event. In future updates this will be addressed. Its up to the individual to make sure that wind is on when playing an event. The history of this is that we were not using wind in the events at the start of tg year, but the majority of players wanted wind for all events. The wind is variable but we all felt that it evened out amongst us all over the course of the year, just like real golf conditions. The ability to lock wind conditions for events will hopefully come.

It seems a lot of people aren't turning on wind by accident or maybe by choice. The fairest and easiest thing is for everyone to turn it off.

Let's keep wind for this tournament and have it off for the remaining events. Anyone oppose?

[Sascha1818]

I'm good with that. I had my best round so far with the highest wind @ round one of this tournament. So I might just keep it on lol.

[TRenn]

I agree - just shut off until it can be automated

I like that idea too, its not bad and is definitely fun at it at times, but agree with TRenn and maybe just waiting until it can be automated might be the best play

I'm gonna miss when the stars align and you get a 20mph wind at your back on a wide open, dead straight par 5.

Although when that happens, I usually get excited, overswing, and hook it 40 yards left of the fairway.

Nevermind, I'm good with wind off.

So heads up, I had to use a rewind shot in round 1 last night. my par putt on 10. I got my first phantom putt as I was walking past the skytrak unit. It sent the ball 20 feet past the hole.

[Bnorman58]

You don't need to give us a heads up on that. We are all honest people with integrity that would never use a rewind unless it was a confirmed misread. If not, what fun would it be?

I had no idea that it was not automatically set! I have wind on by default in my settings.

Bubba, Makes sense. I like having the wind especially when you have 20 mph at your back on a Par 5. Swingharder forgot to mention .... elevated tee and a down sloping fairway. I really have to try to increase my launch angle on those. After this event, I am ok with it off until they can lock it in for the tournament.

[MainStGolf]

I played my first round yesterday. The wind was already on, but wasn't a huge deal. It did get up with 20+ mph at times, but most of the time it was 10-15. Had a couple of bad shots, but overall I was very happy with the outcome as my game is really starting to improve. Wish my driver had been working as well as it has in the past couple of weeks. I was kind of all over the place with it. Thankfully the course is pretty wide open.

Funny shot of the day was the driver on hole 3 I believe it is that has the two bridges in the middle of the fairway. I tried to drive it over the chasm and put a fade on it, which I didn't really want to do. Thankfully I did because it faded right onto the right-side bridge and bounced onto the other side :-) WHEW . . . Looking forward to playing again today.

How do you view the current leader board after each of 3 rounds?

[goodmatt78]

I just finished my 3rd round. I couldn't turn on the wind from within my round as there was no access to the controls. I am not certain where to do this before the round, but honestly I forgot to look. If this is a problem please DQ me for this week....However, I'm sure I didn't exactly top the leaderboard. Sorry all.

[Bubba22]

You need to set wind on in the settings before you start the event.

[Mike80]

Everyone. To turn wind on is easy. Open up TGC and play a course (not tournament). Go to Settings and turn wind on. Exit game and join the game under Tournaments. Your previous saved settings will remain. You can't turn Wind on during the tournament because that section in settings is locked.

So just remember, setup all the tournament settings in a non tournament round, exit and join the tournament. Same with the gimme putt settings and distance. Set those in another game before joining tournament.

But until they can set these conditions and lock them I would not require wind in future tournaments because too many people aren't playing with it on.

ProTee United , I have a question. at myonlinegolftour.com I can see the full leaderboard for each of the finished tour events. But for the global leaderboard I can only see the top 10. Is there a way to view the whole global leaderboard ?

[ProTee United]

Not yet, but you can see the full TGC Tour leader board on the front page of this website.
