Does anyone that's played the Rory McIlroy PGA Tour game have any insight on it? I had a lot of fun with the last Tiger Woods game, and the trailer for this game looked pretty good. Apparently it was released with barely any courses, but they have since added some? There's also some goofy mini-games? Any info would be appreciated!

Not getting lessons ruined golf for me. I randomly picked up the game, taught myself all the worst possible habits. Can't play for poo poo. I've broke 100 maybe a handful of times. I just made golf miserable for myself. Now I would have to undo a decade of bad habits, so I just quit. Get lessons. I cannot stress this enough. At the very least take one lesson so you get the fundamentals down and have an idea of what to try to do.

Has everyone gotten their e-mail regarding 2018 Masters ticket selection yet? A few friends got an email saying they weren't chosen, but I haven't received anything yet. I'm wondering if that's a good sign?

Who cares if they walk off the green? It’s a dick move but just take your time and putt normally. If they say something tell them you are taking as much time as they took. No need to get out the rule book.

Lincoln posted:How do I swing a pair of tickets to the Masters? I know it’s freakishly expensive, but as I browse the options with all the ticket resellers, I see options like ‘Grounds,’ ‘badge,’ ‘hospitality,’ but I don’t know what any of that means. A 4-day pass is out of the question, but if I wanted to spend one day (with friend) during regular play, what do I need to look for? Seems my cheapest option is about $1k/day/person, correct? Anybody been? I went in 2016 after winning the lottery. If you aren't lucky enough to do that (You probably wont be, it's the hardest ticket to get in all of sports), you are looking at at $1,000+ per person, per day. There were tons of people trying to sell tickets on the side of the road around town, but I don't think they were any cheaper than you'd find online somewhere. It was an absolutely AMAZING experience though, I can't recommend it enough. It's easily the most beautiful golf course I've ever seen. Unbelievably meticulously groomed, like every single blade of grass was put in place by hand. I also loved the fact that you can't bring a cell phone inside. At every sporting event now, 50% of the people are staring at their phones the whole time. It's really refreshing to not have any distractions, and just be able to enjoy golf and your surroundings all day. If you go on a practice day, definitely park yourself at the 16th hole for a while. All the players will take their normal tee shot, but they will also drop a second ball at the front edge of the pond, and try to skip the ball off the water and up onto the green. They encourage the crowd to get into it, and it's really fun. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PL-DFrgzRs RCarr fucked around with this message at 21:12 on Feb 21, 2018 |

I forgot about the food prices. It’s amazing. Like $3-$5 for sandwiches/burgers/chicken fingers. $1 for a banana/apple/orange, etc.

I'll play music, but only if I'm in a foursome with friends that I know don't mind it. That's really the only time it's ok to do something like that on a golf course.

As multiple people have said, if we bring music on the course, we play it at a level where ONLY we can hear it, and turn it off completely if anyone is nearby. I'm not going to some fancy golf course, I'm going to the local county course to get drunk and hang with my buddies for a few hours. If I want to bring some music to play respectfully, I will.

ironlung posted:Story time. Every Tuesday evening during the summer about a hundred people meet at a local brewery and then once good and lubed up they ride around town on cruiser bikes, drink beer, and be generally obnoxious. I have done it before, it's a good time. Anyway, at my home course there is this little park right by the 16 tee box with an open field, a basketball court, swing set, etc. Most of the time it's empty or very quiet. I went out solo after dinner tonight and played the back 9 and sure enough as I was walking up to the 16 tee, all these bike/brew revelers were at the park making a pitstop to party for a bit before moving on to their next destination. On my way from 15 green to 16 tee I walked past the park and exchanged pleasantries with a couple dudes but nobody really paid me much attention. This is great

We do scrambles almost every time I play with my group of friends. Some of us are good and some suck, but we all like to play. Just split up the best players, and then fill in their teams with the weaker players.

I was lucky enough to win the Masters lottery in 2016. Everyone sells tickets, they don't enforce it. I kept two tickets and sold the rest and it paid for my father and me to travel down there and then some.

From my Masters experience the best 2 places to be are the infamous par 3 and the Amen corner. Get a good spot at both and spend most of your day there. Hit the merch tent FIRST as the best stuff sells out super quick. Enjoy the affordable food and beer. The course is ridiculous. It looks like every blade of grass was placed by hand. Have fun!

Enjoy being terrible at golf now, when it's ok, because you've never played before. Enjoy this time, because many years / new clubs / lessons / rounds played from now you will still be terrible and you'll hate yourself for it.

DJExile posted:Saw my doc today after getting back in the states. Surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. Timeline is to be walking without a boot in 6-8 weeks and full recovery is 6 months. This kind of goes without saying but fully dedicate yourself to the physical therapy. A serious ankle injury will gently caress you up for life if you don’t take care of it the right way.

I mean I suck at golf and struggle to break 100 but I take approximately 20 seconds max to make each shot. Are there really people who suck like I do who are taking minutes before each shot? That would be infuriating.

mattfl posted:I got the same email and the consensus on reddit is that it’s not a guarantee like The Masters is and it seems everyone on reddit who entered got selected. Who knows, I’m going to try for 4 practice day tickets and 4 match day tickets if I get in. Take my pops a friend and his dad and make a week outta it. Yea I entered in my name and my girlfriend’s name and we both got selected. My friend who entered also got selected... Looks like it puts you in the queue with a randomly assigned number when they go on sale, so I guess you still need to be lucky enough to get a good spot.

Also start training yourself to say “gently caress” after every shot.

What’s the best way to work on ball striking? I played golf when I was young and had a pretty good game, but then I didn’t play for 10+ years. I’m getting back into it and I’m wildly inconsistent. I’ll hit a beautiful 200 yard shot onto the green one hole, then duff the same shot 50 yards the next.

If you are a group of people who all aren’t breaking 100, I recommend playing 2v2 best ball. It makes golf soooo much more enjoyable.
