    Game will be fine. They've added real equipment which was my big gripe with the last one. It's just still nowhere near the old ea games and it's all these years later.

    The game looks worse than Tiger 2012 on 360

    Possibly only surpassed by the douchiness of Colt Knost.

    Knost is a douche for many reasons, including throwing a fit about being singled out for not tucking in his shirt. Almost certainly an anti mask guy.

    I can’t see any reason they limited the pros and courses that much. Especially the pros. Just fucking lazy.

    Is it because they would have to pay the pros and the courses?

    Course builder might be fun for a few hours.

    Wish they’d bring back TW/Rory/whatever EA calls their golf game these days.

    Few weeks ago I downloaded the newest golf club game and played for a while. Ended up playing the 5+ year old Rory game and it's still way better.

    This is the last one I owned. Still have it and pretty sure I never even played it. Hooked up the 360 so my kids could play Tony Hawk during all this. Might have to play 18 tonight.

    They brought over the bad swing mechanics and shitty graphics of The Golf Club, which isn’t good.

    If they don’t bring over the insane course list TGC has, this is a total dud.

    Rory was fun, but they took out the player progression like the old TW games had. I miss the TW games:feelsbadman:

    Why did EA quit making the game and what year was that? People just quit buying it?

    Well, Bandon came together very quickly. Their booking agents are incredibly helpful, helped us plan the puzzle of how to set up the courses based on their recommendations.

    7/29 - fly into Medford. Arrive early afternoon and kick it off on the Preserve
    7/30 - 8:10 off Pacific Dunes and 2:10 off Bandon Trails
    7/31 - 8:00 off Sheep Ranch and 3:00 off Bandon Dunes. I asked for a bigger gap between tee times to have more time to rest
    8/1 - 9:00 off Old Mac. Probably hang around the resort a while after before driving back to Medford and stay somewhere cheap that night

    Obviously this is all still very dependent on travel ramping up and things continuing to improve. But shit I’m pumped. Doing it with just one other friend, both of us are getting married this year so we figured we’d splurge on this by going in the best weather time of the year

    Got bored last night (read: drunk) and decided to assist the rusting process of my wedges with a nice water bath. I kinda like it.

    PSA: Callaway Preowned is doing a pretty solid sale right now; 20% off drivers/irons, 25% off fairways/hybrids, and 35% off putters/wedges. Thinking hard about picking up a Toulon at a steep discount

    I’m looking at the Austin and San Diego. Think these are Toulon’s versions of the Newport and Newport 2 with slightly more head weight and a different milling pattern. Really unsure about the stroke lab shafts though

    I play a Newport but it’s the 2018 model with that second milled layer in the face. Really curious if the single piece feels any different, and I apparently just enjoy tinkering now too even though I’m perfectly happy with what I got

    So I am trying to buy new irons because mine are far too old. Given that it is about impossible to get fitted or even test clubs, I was considering just buying a used set of Ping on the cheap. I am having a hard time justifying paying $280 for clubs that are 8 years old andwand used when g400s are only $500 at PGA Superstore.

    Is eBay a better bet than 2nd Swing? Any other sites that are reliable for used irons?
