In my years I tried every libation known to man,

even that dark Euro-pond water. When I did have

friends, they drank beer , but I found the juice of

the grape more appealing, and sometimes I think

I'd like a nice cool Pinot Grigio. 

Any sarcasm you feel is pure jealousy on my part, Glob-damnit.

This could get interesting. Any idea what the altitude is? Can't wait to float one onto the green

[Kablammo11]

I'm going to try a negative altitude, Justin. Imagine driver going 148 yds or so...

[Justin9926]

Boy just think shooting Five Sisters then jumping on the shuttle to Xaxnax Minor. That could cause some confusion

I've been away for what, 2 weeks and in this time you have become more prolific than a prolific thing, what with your 5 Sisters and your Mulligan Municipal and now see you are reaching for the Xanax.

The mind boggles what your mind must boggle but keep on boggling as it is just a great read and play

 

p.s. how do you think PG plays on Mac OSX? I have just made a tentative trip to the Dark Side with a work purchase of a new 5K iMac and wondered about loading Steam and PG- I do have it Bootcamp'd to be able to run both OSX and Windows 10 Pro 64bit of course

[Drrobmiller]

These previews look great...

Kablamo,...I think your use of textures under the grass is great.

 

the tower seems like a distraction though

Look who's poking his head back in... It's Xaxnax, not Xanax, which sounds like a drug, though I wouldn't know, let alone ever reach for it. Think "Sack Snacks", I'm already waiting for the first puns about that... most likely from South Carolina.

How do I think the PG plays on Mac OSX? Well, I can only tell you what I know how it plays. Not too good. It works alright, I'd say, but after one year of EA I'd say that ultras smooth graphics and high fps are more of an exception. Nigh unplayable without Pause Render on swing - I only experienced an exalted moment of good performance once, for about a couple hours, last autumn. Then they released a new patch and the magic went poof! 

Don't get me wrong, that Mac of yours is a fabulous piece of gear that will do many other things very well. But if you want to experience PG in it's fullest glory, you should rather opt for a system that is not based on Mac or possibly Unix. The platform agnostics of PP are a bit windows-centric and Mac support is at best the very last item on a crazy-long list of priorities: They usually briefly involve a external Mac guy for a couple days every 3 months or so, that's the extent of it. You will be able to play PG, and you shouldn't have major problems. But you might encounter a handful of smaller ones.

Almighty Rob, I must now dare to disagree with the Doctor himself. The radio tower is a positive and intended distraction, one that is well established in the game of golf and of impeccable repute as well. It can be seen from all across the course, and that is exactly the job I assigned it to perform: Such objects are also referred to as "landmark". 

 

landmark

ˈlan(d)mɑːk/

noun

 

1. 1. 
   an object or feature of a landscape or town that is easily seen and recognized from a distance, especially one that enables someone to establish their location.

   "the spire was once a landmark for ships sailing up the river"

   synonyms: marker, mark, indicator, guiding light, leading light, signal, beacon, lodestar, sign

    

    

 

Just don't get too close, though. There's a bit of electrosmog. And to drive home my point, here's the official splash:

 

[NoPutt]

" Sack Snacks'"... Oh the pun fun I could have with this, but I won't.

It would be easier than opening a salty wrinkly bag of "Schwetty Balls".

[Drrobmiller]

uhh...ok!

Thought I'd try my hand at a real venue.

Located just 20 miles from home,

The Cliffs at Keeowee Vineyards.

A Tom Fazio design with 8 holes right

on Lake Keeowee. There are four courses

on the lake, Mountain Park, by Gary Player,

Glassy by Tom Jackson, Keeowee Falls

by, Jack Nicklaus, all with gorgeous mountain views

and lots of water. 

I'm starting with the Fazio because I just love

the signature 250y Par 3, from the black.

 

[olazaboll]

Looking Good NoPut ... What a nice venue ...Tom Fazio ... Yeah ... Nice to se a pic within Course Forge ... I guess it is ...

Technically it is a pic within Unity 3D. Course Forge is just a downloadable asset package.

 

You could generate what Neal has done there, prep the terrain and elevations all just using Unity 3D as you can import your heightmap and overhead texture and begin tweaking the terrain. He just wouldn't be able to apply the texture meshes and tees and pins without CF.

[olazaboll]

I decided to wait until CF is out .... and "Course Forge For Dummies"

Well done having a crack at a real course

Something i havent tried yet is to download height map and data

Did you do this via terrain forge and the help videos

 

Neal you live in a beautiful place there mate, i love the country side, trees and surroundings

 

Lucky man and well done to you

How do you qualify for OGT Beta downloads? I'm registered on the site, but it refuses my frustrated attempts at clicking the Beta Course links

[J.H.Buchanan]

Sounds like it should work I would contact Zman he is helpful
