New Player, Hello!

Post by Kiltem »

Hello Everyone! I'm Kiltem, glad to get into the site and finally find a group of people who are playing the game. I've been desperate to find somewhere with people since I discovered the game.

I've only been playing for about a week, but I'm having a blast and absolutely love the expansiveness on what the game lets you customize and add, and of course the custom courses is great. Watching a round while you play on the same holes is just a blast.

Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I hope to play with all of you a lot and very often! Any beginners tips, I'm all ears for :D Also, if theres any other places that players gather to chat/group to play the game, please by all means let me know, i.e. Discord/Ventrilo/IRC . Whenever I play a game I just, crave information on it and conversation about it. And given I've discovered this game what seems to be 19 years late, theres not a whole lot out there. So happy to be here!

Hope you're all having a fantastic month.

Hi Kiltim-if I read your text correctly you've only been playing for a week? As you can see the game has stood the test of time quite well...so have we! :rofl:
Anyway, welcome aboard!

I always wanted to write something intelligent in my signature. Now that I think about it, I guess I just did! :clapping: :smile:

Yep! Only played for about a week, learning and feeling out the game with some solo careers and seasons. I'm so happy to have found you all here! Really this game just seems to be the epitome of golf games, others just dont compare. Either not enough courses, not enough customization, bad multiplayer, bad wind physics. But Links just, GOT IT RIGHT all the way in 2003! Glad to be on board, hope to see you around!

Thank you much Captain! Absolutely will do, been talking about the game to just about anyone I run into if I'm honest hahaha. Hope to get a few IRL fellas in on it, the competitive aspect is just, too well made and smooth. Seems so enjoyable to have friend competition in Links.

Very nice to see a new player! :smile: we dont get too many of those, with the last proper game in the Links series being nearly 20 years old. So if theres anything you wonder or something youre looking for just post and someone will help out. There is also the Tigercats community (can find via google) for another active hub of Links 2003 tournaments, though I think they also have a League over at LSPN nowadays.
Finished Courses - Main: Amedal (fictional), Nine Bridges (real)
Other: Austin, Sheshan, Kauri Cliffs, Le Golf Nat. Updates: Whirlpool, Royal Lytham, Royal St George's, Chicago, Chambers Bay, Munchen Nord E
Working on: 2 fictional courses + a couple things...
