Congressional CC '99

[ChuckH]

I'm looking to see if someone has the original disc of Congressional CC '99. I HAVE the course but i'm wondering if there is a .tip file on the original disc that I don't have. It would probably be named tipwavs.ls or something like that. Please pm me if you have the disc. Thanks

Are you sure it was from '99? I have the original Links LS 1999 version and I do not see Congressional CC as part of the course package, converted or new courses. I do see the .tipwavs.ls files for Bay Hill, Entrada, Latrobe Summer/Fall and St Andrews. Or maybe Congressional was an add-on course because I could have converted the 97 to 99 back in the day.

I do have the original disc for Congressional CC 97 and there is no .tip file on that disc.

I've tried to keep notes over the years as to what Access and then Microsoft released. My notes on Congressional indicate there were three releases of this course as an add-on in each case, it was never bundled with Links.

- In 1997 under the LS banner
- In 1998 (called Congressional 99)
- A release in late 2000 under the Microsoft Banner.

Like you I have the first LS version of the course.

I do not know how accurate it is, many of the sources I have used no longer exist, but I do have an indication that there was a tip file on the '99 release.

I have noted a file name of the '97 version as Congress and the later version as Bcongres.

I don't know how I came to the '99 version. I might have got it from The Country Club site. It's basically the same as the 1977 version but it has splash sceens, hole previews and crowds. Links 1999 was the first Links version to have tip files. The course file name is Bcongres.crz. Thanks for the info.

BTW, I uploaded all the tip files to the add-on section a couple of months ago and Andy was nice to host them here. Thanks Andy.

Yes, thank you for uploading then, it filled a couple of gaps I had, I think Congressional may be the last that needs to be filled.

I expect many, if they have the CD release, will have the initial release of the course rather than the upgrade. The only time I have really ended up with multiple copies was with the course library packs.
