Thanks Mark. That URL to the three courses in question (P2P) was nicely explained.
Cheers

Went to run the course checker today and it will not launch. Other executable files launch with no issues. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks!

Does it throw any errors?

So, when you double click the Icon it does nothing?

Just an FYI for anyone running or switching to Linux, I was able to use the Course Checker Utility v1.12 in Linux Mint (Cinnamon desktop environment) using 'wine'. I believe this is using the default wine prefix in Linux Mint, so no real setup of that, per se, just install wine from your package manager.
EDIT: I forgot to note that I first had to run the program from the terminal using the command below, then I could just double-click it from the folder
Code: Select all
wine "~/Downloads/PGLS PG Course Checker.exe"
The course checker works for me, even though the graphics didn't show show up in the window (see screen shot below). Also, I had to change the path for PG Courses to where Steam installs the game, just as you would if PG was installed in a different folder under Windows, but that isn't too difficult. I believe that Wine automatically assigns drive Z: for Windows programs, so if you click the 'Override Detection' button, just browsing to find the folder. That is typically:
- /home/{username}/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Perfect Golf/Courses
- (or perhaps it might say fedora-installation, depending on your Linux distro)
unless you have changed the default game installation location, and then it would be:
- /home/{username}/{steam game library folder}/steamapps/common/Perfect Golf/Courses
EDIT: I also should note that the game folder needs to be manually selected each time you run the program - it isn't remembered (at least on my system)
The Course Checker on my Linux Mint installation is shown below for reference:
