I like this better than a US Open grind at Shinnecock. Very exciting. Hoping Westwood has a birdie still in him on 17 or 18. He knows he has to be aggressive.
I keep waiting for someone to back into the water.
looks like JT has this.

I really like PGA 2K21 Putting is really hard at first and takes a bit to get used to. But once you get that figured out it's really fun. They've added a few more courses since it first came out so I think it's up to almost 20 actual courses in the game. The only downside is that you can't play as any of the actual players that are "featured" in the game....can only play as your own player that you create.
I like PGA 2K as well. I used to play the hell out of the Tiger Woods EA games. One thing that is weird about 2K is the three courses that were on EVERY Tiger game (Sawgrass, Pebble, St. Andrews) aren't on it. But the courses they do have are great (including some make-believe courses) and the game is pretty good. Once it gets too easy, you can adjust settings to make it harder. When I play career mode, I set the opponent difficulty so that they shoot about 10 or 11 under. I wish online play was better though. Tiger used to have a "simultaneous stroke" mode where you and your opponent would play the hole at the same time and you'd just see the ball streak of your opponent. In this game, you have to sit and watch your opponent hit his shot. No thanks. I'll just stick to career mode.
Also, to follow up on Sawgrass, you guys ever hear of the "Worst Golfer in the World" competition that Golf Digest had in the 80's? They took four avid (but terrible) golfers and put them on Sawgrass. The "winner" shot 257. He took a 66 on #17. After hitting countless balls in the water, he gave up trying to hit the green, and began just chipping up the path to get to the green.
I read that you can go online and there are hundreds of fan made courses that are replicas of Augusta, Andrews, etc. So even though they're not licensed, you can play them anyway. Anyone try that?

I haven't but maybe I'll check it out. Other than career mode, I haven't explored much else.

I think it would be cool to see a tournament made up of regular weekend warrior amateur golfers attempt to play Sawgrass or Augusta or something.

Bethpage black eats golfers too. First time they had the tourney there only Woods was under par.

That would be cool. Or even a celebrity tournament like the Lake Tahoe one, but at championship course under championship conditions.

Yeah there are plenty of replicas out there online you can play. I've done a couple Augusta replicas that were pretty spot on. I should check out some others but I've mainly been sticking to the career mode.
That's cool. I played it for the first time last night. I shot a -2 on the medium level. Tee to green wasn't too hard. Putting was pissing me off as I kept missing low side.

A tip is that you only have to move the cursor left or right to account for the break. Distance-wise, the marker starts in the right place. Once you get down moving the cursor left or right for the break, I think it's easier to putt on this game than the Tiger EA games.

Yeah I figured that after I rammed an uphill 30 footer off the green. Felt like real life.
Golf rules. 40 degrees out. Playing the first real course I’ve played in a year. Showing up late while we’re on the tee, shoes untied. “This might be ugly, boys”... pipe a drive. Perfect 8 in to 20 feet. Burned the birdie putt for a couple inch tap in par.
Technically it wasn’t my fault. I went in the pro shop for balls/tees and dude took forever
Yeah it happens. Those early morning tee times always get me because I usually have to take a dump in the clubhouse 2 mins before teeing off. But for real, nothing worse than the guy in your group who always shows up late for tee times.
70 and sunny tomorrow here...teeing off at 2pm. First local round of the year. Played 72 holes in West Palm Beach a couple weeks ago and it was glorious.

It’s 70 in Chicago tomorrow? Cold as fuck here today. I’m not the late guy. I’ll be there but I’m hungover as shit wishing I wasn’t there until the first green. Then I’m all in. Enjoy dude
