Links Corner Forum

West Coast Links is great, but it has a problem. On most of the pin positions, multiple pins were placed where 1 pin should go, making it difficult to select pins. Here is an example from the first green.

You're a different kind of person, JC. My kind of person. You want something done, you dig into it and do it yourself. I've been amazed by your work with the animations! And I know you know that no one does custom-ordered course development - it's all voluntary. LeftyBob wasn't happy with some year ...

I'm thinking $1,000, which would be around $2 per hour, if you could find somebody to take it on. I wouldn't want to do it - I'd rather do a course that I want to do.

Assuming that you're a newbie, no one has redone the course since 2000, even though they've had 23 years to do it, so it's probably not marked urgent on somebody's to-do list. But it only takes 500 or so hours to do a course. You could pay someone to do it. How bad do you want it? You could do it yo...

That's amazing, Ian. You can really tell the ground is different by the movement of the ball. And I recently found that by setting the minimum ball size to "Large" in "Game Settings", you can watch the ball's movement in the Top Window. The game is 30+ years old now and I'm still...

Something interesting happened when playing round 4 of the World Tour tournament at Black Rock Beta: when playing Mc Fc conditions using RTS, I was able to play the slopes and hills on the greens with my approach shots and watch as the ball rolled from one side of the green to the other, or from the...

I loved the course and the elevations, but I thought the par 5's were a bit too easy. Maybe that was me, though.

MrT, sounds like you've explored all of the early version of Links, but if you want to experience all of it you'll apply the 1.07 update and all of the features that were added - more than just firmer hardness and faster speeds for the greens. Moderate Frmness and Fast-challenging speeds play differ...

Glad you made it through that rough patch, Sage. I hope your health heads back toward normal real soon!
