Please turn on Shot Recording as it is now a tour requirement.

For those doing this, don't forget you need to put your TGC User ID from the TGC config file (Settings) into your forum profile.

Is it frowned upon to play the tournaments without putting at all and using the auto 2 putt if you're on the green?

[Boerdoc]

RULES
Gimme : within 2 yards / 1.8 meters
Handicap : Not required
Wind: OFF
Green Grid : ON
Club Suggestion is ENABLED.
Boost: +/-5% maximum on club settings


These are the settings that you have to use to comply with tournament play. So, yes, you need to use Gimme, 2 yards in the TGC settings.

Shot recording! I did not notice this until now. Will try to do it from here on.

(ps, I can not remember when I last did a rewind, for the record.)

Me too, I don't think I have ever have used rewind except when I am playing the TPC at Sawgrass for fun... I don't think GC2 has near the problems that other hardware has.

Shot recording is pretty awesome by the way. Really cool to download the data.

[Boo Radley]

Just curious, what is the purpose of shot recording? Did I miss something, I just don't read all that much of this anymore..............

[Joko]

It's just to keep people honest for the most part, I believe.

[keither5150]

Shot recording is not to keep people honest...making shot recording public is. When the tour first started, it was required that you play live with another player, we have come a long way. I would say that the vast majority of players don't abuse rewinds. It's probably less than 1% that do .

Having all of that data is very useful. I know I used it and changed how I hit my mid irons to stick the greens better. Also, if somebody is having problems with their sim.... it is a useful tool to help identify the problem.

Just bumping this to the top for tournament players..

[aeroburner]

good idea we have a couple of guys 1 and 2 with shot recording off as we did last week if your twentieth don't care but first is a little different.

[Boo Radley]

I guess if the pros can shoot 80 ,I shouldn't feel bad..haha......I think I turned on shot recording, "just in time for a stinky round ,putting was off, not sure why" but how do I know if shot recording is on???????

[Wyzyguy]

Hey boo... it is on... I can see the shots... look under your tour profile..

[Boo Radley]

[Wyzyguy]

Go to Tournament ... Tour Players.... pick your name..... hit the more box... you will see tour shots... Tour handicap ... Non Tour shots... etc ... Hit Toir Shots and they will be there...🏁

Hey guys - Can someone help tell me if my shot recording is on?
I just played first round of the X-mas Tourney...
Also - Can't tell if the tourney is recognizing my Handicap differential. I just finished Q-School this week. Still figuring out the system here.

Cheers,

[Wyzyguy]

HC will calculate on Tuesdays. You will play this tourney as 0.. Most have started this way..Shot recording is not currently working for you.. PM @protee .. I had issues figuring it out as well so I know your pain.. Your putts are showing up so that is set correctly.. If I can find the post about shot recording I will hit you back... Welcome to the fold.. I am in about 5 events & it is a blast...

[aeroburner]

handicap will not be instant and will most likely be I think tuesday is the updating I do not see your name in the tournament listing at all

ProTee United had given me this in another post to help me...

The settings file contains a section [TGC Online].
Here you will find:

Shot Recording=OFF
USER ID=<YOUR USER ID> eg. AAAA-1234-CCCC-5678-EEEE

1] Turn on Shot Recording, save the file.
Shot Recording=ON

2] Copy the USER ID.

3] Edit your Forum user profile and paste the USER ID in the field: TGC User ID.

4] Edit the field TGC Nickname in your forum user profile. Make sure its EXACTLY the same as the nickname you use in TGC.

5] Save you forum profile and hit a couple of test shots on a random course.
Hopefully this helps.. This is what

Wyzyguy - Thanks for your help. Made those 2 changes.

For some reason, my country flag isn't showing up beside my name. Does anyone know why?

Cheers
