Links Corner Forum

In general, how close to fairway edges (and/or ideal landing spots on fairways or greens) are these deep grass regions we speak of? To me, that can have a major impact on whether something is annoying or not. If a player hits a really wild hook, being penalized with a drop tends to feel more accepta...

Seamblends can be free drop :smile: As for other methods of making free drop - No I dont think there are any, have to do it with texture properties. You just have to clone the seamblend textures, then apply the cloned ones to the specific areas you want them at, and then change the cloned version's ...

Seems like the conversation has stagnated a bit, I would be interested to know if there are any more people than pmgolf and me who actually look forward to the tournament version a lot, enough to care about the details of it. As for 17th specifically, there are many options indeed, and Im not saying...

Always random skies between the 170 ones in my skies folder. I already went through and removed a lot of skies twice in the past, and if I ever get around to it, I plan on doing it once more to maybe go down to around 100. Most of my absolute favourite skies are almost-sunset ones, but I dont want t...

Thank you :smile: Yeah I liked your bridge John, I plan on trying to make a similar one. Im doing the PGA routing, like your last version (for anyone wondering - the first and second nines get swapped). Thank you so much for introducing me to this wonderful course! Without your versions, I never wou...

If he didn't think he needed more pins---it's kind of presumptuous for us to think we do. Strongly disagree with that wording, designers have full authority on what they give the players, sure, but designers do not have any authority over what players desire. Just because someone doesnt design, tha...

Finished vert-painting the fairways and tees, plus river, ponds, creek water, main roads and a sort of course area perimeter. Then I built one green and basically finished that one hole (#2), just to make sure my plan for structuring things doesnt turn out to have any nasty surprises on all holes la...

Same with Doonbeg, K Club Palmer, and Amsterdam (where two greens only have 1 pin), all by John Aherne. They are locked, and while John Aherne possibly might have unlocked versions, no one seems able to get him to respond to messages about those courses. Otherwise I like all 4 of them a lot, so it i...

Why go to all this trouble to make something out to be something which it clearly is not ???????

If it makes a group of people very happy, isnt that a pretty good reason?

On one hand, I feel like, its not that important exactly how the tournament course turns out, Im sure I'll be happy with it either way, but on the other hand, the course is so fantastic that trying to get every little detail "perfect" is totally worth it! So I will happily discuss things l...
