PGLS

For those with an Xbox...Game Pass is currently running a deal, 3 months for £1. I took the big plunge and then remembered to stop the auto renewal.

Installed TGC2 and jumped in on Amateur and picked a random course expecting a tough time using a controller. I have to admit, the overall feel of the game is good (not talking physics, just the ambience and general look). But...shooting -6 on your first outing on Controller didn't excite me. Yes, there are harder courses, probably tricked up, who knows and there are harder levels, but it seems that it wouldn't take much time to be "mastering" it once the game's physics are learnt.

Will I play any more? Maybe a few rounds, go up the levels to see if is more challenging, but no replacement for JNPG imho. Still get courses and setups here on non tricked up courses to make one think your way around, not all just about max power and sod the direction.

Back to the game pass, F1 2018, Dirt 4, Cities Skyline, Sniper 4 are games I initially downloaded. Even if only for 3 months, seemed a bargain for £1!!

If you have an Xbox and have Xbox live, from May 15th, The Golf Club 2019 will be available to download an own for 1 month. Not that i'm trying to push people to play it rather than JNPG lol, but free it'll be worth a little dabble for me.

Just noticed we have golf club 2019 coming with games for gold on 15th may is it any good ? Mind you I'll download it for free anyway lol

well, it's got no 3C, but as it's free....i'll have a dabble.

I find the putting to be horrible

played about 8 rounds now and joined the TGC Tours using Pro clubs and handicap is down to +1, so not too bad and had a round with our old friend Domino who seems to be just as good at tgc as he was with jnpg. Chipping and putting is tough to nail down, but I have to admit I am enjoying scoring around par (well the first 4 rounds were more like +15, lol) and in the first week of Tour play in the bottom flight, fought hard for a -5 1st round and a battling E for round 2. Got a long road ahead to be at the sharp end, not sure my controller skills are that consistent.

Those guys always shooting -15 must be cheating though, can be the only reason they can shoot that low isn't it??

Lol

I actually play the career mode TGC 2019 on PC using the Tour clubs and enjoy it especially the atmosphere. We don't have a true career mode with JNPG so TGC fills the bill. I don't play a lot of society events as a lot of non axis controllers being used and I use an xbox360 PC controller and trust me it's not real easy but a lot of fun.
