    I use mine almost every night and for way too many hours haha. Actually forcing myself to take a few days off right now to let the back and muscles recover. Literally the single best purchases I've made in my life in my mind. The pleasure I get from having my sim is crazy, my love for golf has never been higher.

    I built my pc with an i5 cpu and a 970 gpu. I feel like that and a solid power supply is all you really need to have it working well. Just get the basics on the rest of the parts if you are building one, the game runs perfectly for me with that.

    If you are buying one made, then just look for the 970 or better and I think you'll be good to go

      Couldn't agree more with Ironstrokes comment , it's fantastic and I find it hard to stay away from my garage now, either playing in tour events or inviting friends up, its awesome. ...only wish I had more time to play on it and I wasn't stuck at work for another 2 weeks !!

      I got a PC from eBay all ready to go it has a GTX 980ti runs TGC with ease.

      If you love your golf it will be a great purchase.

        Once you have gotten over the hurdle of convincing your wife that this product is necessary in your life and promise it will not sit in the corner collecting dust, you then have to convince her why you NEED to use it nightly and lose all track of time. This is where I am at.

          I hit probably 5 nights a week. The other two are when I play outside. I play TGC 2-3 nights and often use the range to work on my swing. I have had mine since September and usage is steady. The TGC tourneys are great and it is nice to see your natural bad habbits invade your virtual game just like your real one. This has helped me learn to fix mid round.

          I am striking the ball better than ever...

            I play 1 or 2 rounds a day since getting TGC on release day. Its just so good.

            I have been trying to only play every other day, to give my body some recovery time. But its hard to not play when its so fun.

              Definitely use ours! My 13-year-old son practices on it. Our 4-year-old daughter uses it. My wife has even taken a few swings ;-). As I said in another post we use ours as a side business, so it's not in our home/garage.

                Use mine everyday I'm home. Unfortunately being a service rep. That's not often enough lol. That's the main reason I build my Sim room and got skytrak with tgc. That way I can play every day I'm home and not be blocked out by bad weather, time of day or season or can't get a tee time. Definitely one of the best investment I ever made.

                      I have had TGC since March when it came out.....LOVE IT!! I have had a few unread shots here and there, but not a big deal...life isn't perfect but this is very addicting...... My game has gotten soooo much better since I have started with this. I'm not sure I even need to consider PG.... I just would love to see multiple tee boxes to finish it off

                        Multiple tee boxes is on the list for future updates. More camera angles, control of lighting conditions ( time of day). Plus more improvements to multiplayer online play are coming. The powers that be do monitor this forum. So the players have to keep the suggestions coming. TGC has been great for updates. 5 major updates during the last year. That was a big factor for me when choosing TGC over E6 last year. I try to use it every day or every other day.

                      I work two week rotations and since I got TGC, I've only played 3 rounds of actual golf. I'll be playing in a tournament this coming weekend where I've never shot better than an 83 and I'm a 9 hcp. I usually shot in the 90 s for some reason at this particular course. I played 9 at my home course two weeks ago and shot 1 over. I'll let you guys know how much TGC has helped my game. I can already tell you my driving is way better.

                        I'm still a newbie compared to several on this site but I have tried my Skytrak with WGT, TGC and PG. I did purchase TGC and PG and at this point TGC will be the software that I will be using the most.

                        To me it seems TGC to be the most realistic when being used as a simulator. The graphics are way better than WGT and PG plus really like the way the Protee / TGC tech support has been more than happy to assist with my questions and future enhancement recommendations.
