PGA 2K23

Romero

Ha I went into the water at the back of the second green and my drop was in the rocks at the back so ended up with a quadruple bogie so did well to recover and get to -11 over the two rounds.

Added a small Irish course Headfort Golf Club fairly easy course so upped the wind on it to give us a bit of a challenge.

If no one has any major objections I'll add the odd fantasy course that isn't to frustrating😀

thats me cheers

I took out Headfort as it was a bit to basic a course and added in three TGC Tours approved courses some nice well designed courses on there. I might throw a fantasy course in around the middle of the month.

Sounds like a fun idea! Creating a Boards Society for PGA 2K23 could make the game even more enjoyable. Having separate ones for PlayStation and Xbox, considering the lack of crossplay, is a good call. It's a great way to keep the community engaged and have some friendly competition. I hope you find others interested in joining and have a blast with it!

Thanks ChatGPT

Water give you any trouble at Bay Hill @corcaigh07? Saw the -2 become an E at one stage there while I played Rd 1.

Best finish some work off this afternoon before going again.

Romero

First round done and went into the water multiple times 8 shots on par 5 6th 11 shots on par 5 16th +8 😂😂😂

Romero

Jumped back on the horse better conditions and shot -16 on second round so ended up -8 which was a decent recovery

Yep, hit it into the water twice on the same hole! Couldn't get going on Round 1 either

joficeduns1

Round 2 was ridiculous conditions for Bay Hill, shot -19 and skimmed the hole for at least two eagles.

Those greens were like putting on high gloss paint! ☹️

Round 2 went well 🙂

Crazy 1st round there at Eagle Wind.

Scored at worst a 3 on every hole with the exception being a bogey 5 on the 10th.

Couldn’t miss a putt including a 36 foot eagle putt on the 18th.

Think I one putted every hole except one. Hole proximity wasn’t great either at 21.7 foot.

I must just be playing a different game than you are!

I hit a 4 over on one hole cos of those horrible greens!

I can read greens, I've been playing golf games since the beginning of time, but the greens in this game change how they operate every damn course!

It doesn't help that I have no idea how to make my guy any better with the things I unlock or that I only play societies in the game and no other modes!

Aye. You’ll need to have a go on the career mode to improve your golfer.

I’ve done a couple of big posts on this thread as to the best way (for me anyway) to go about it.

Good man great hole in one, how did you upload it on YouTube I was trying to catch you all the way and ended up a shot behind you.

@marcbrophy These were firm greens and quite challenging especially 10 & 11 I double bogeyed both on the first round. I was extra cautious when shooting into the green making sure to aim for an area close to the pin that wasn't going to run off for the greens.

Next up Stranger Things fantasy course just to do something different, I've played it and nothing too mad on it, but nicely designed. Hope you all enjoy

The upload was just a capture with the share button and uploaded the clip to YouTube directly from the PS5. It's such an easy thing to do, probably should do it a little more for good shots etc.

I've figured out how to share screenshots from PS5 🙂

Ha. That first round will never happen again for me. Everything I hit went in.

The fact that i was able to get -10 in R2 when R1 was a +5 shows my frustration with the greens 🤨

Jordan 199

Woop! Woop! I had my best round at a Boards tournament. 5 over par.

Result from Stranger Things course

It all went wrong for me in the second round when I finished +8.

Rd 1: +5

Rd 2: +8

Fangee slips up, I can happily retire now!

Back to reality with the new one (early playthrough). Hit the water during a double bogey and think I 4 putted on a hole, an eagle chance became a bogey in the end 😳

Congrats👍😀

Florida Straits is more like Dire Straits for me.

"I want my cup of tea,

I want my cup of tea,

Well look at that Jordan,

He-s a playin' golf on-a

Forty-three inch tee-vee,

No that ain't working,

That's no way to do it,

You gotta play it on a

Seventy-five inch tee-vee."

I know it was a tough course greens were mad and I went a bit mad with the wind speed. Are you playing swing or 3 click?

Anyways added another fantasy course at the end of the month for all you Nintendo fans, some very creative course designers out there

Swing. I never liked three click. Never clicked with me.
