Glenn, Normally, I don't play new courses when I am nearing the end of a build, but after reading the reviews, I broke my rule. When will I learn? I have just finished the planting on Gozzer and was fairly happy with it. Now I have seen Hamilton, I am not so happy with my planting. :ill: :smile: You...

Thank you to all.
I will be adding some additional tees to Gozzer Ranch and lake Club and using the "Ladies" tees..
If there are any ladies who would like a copy of the course with the real ladies tees, please let me know.
Thanks
Ian

I am considering adding some additional tees to Gozzer Ranch, but before making that decision I would like to know what the average driving distance is?

In light of the posts regarding blank areas of planting, I was planting small areas and checking each time and then saving...

I think this is more to do with the computer player than the course design.
With a human player, if your ball goes into the water they have they have the option of moving the drop zone backwards to an area that is playable.
I assume the computer player is not programmed to do this.

Glenn, It is one of the most frustrating occurrences of APCD that after having a productive hour or so APCD just crashes. (I'm afraid I am guilty of not doing my backups when I am doing well, then after a crash I start backing up every 30 minutes. Horse and bolted spring to mind.) I have been having...

Sage, I am just going through the same process for Gozzer Ranch, and each time I look at the grasses I change my mind. :smile: jwgriffingca » Sun Apr 14, 2024 4:26 pm Sage - I think the wet/green grass looks better with the underlying texture. It's more subdued and blends better. I agree with John. ...
