December 2018 RF Generation Open Golf Tournament!!!

[NeoMagicWarrior]

As good as I've gotten so far this week. Gotta see if I've got more time.

UNDER PAR!!!

Took me several days, but I finally reached a point where I'm -2 on the course. Feels good.

@GrayGhost81 - don't lose heart. I got REALLY frustrated with the game the first couple times through the course. Once I started to get a better feel for the quirks of the courses, clubs, etc. it has begun to come together. I suspect the other games will be a bit more forgiving, because they're not designed to munch quarters like Neo Turf Masters was, and will probably have some quality of life improvements that will make them easier. At least I hope so, LOL!

Woo!! Go team go!!

@Metalfro, thanks for the encouragement.

I'm getting more used to the game, but I can't get through a round without everything falling apart on the back nine. My wife has politely asked me to give the game a break, and I couldn't agree more. I improved my +11 by one stroke. +10 may end up being the best I can do so I'm posting a pic just in case I don't have the nerve to fire the game up again. My apologies to Doug and Fokakis.

Dropping 22 off of you score is a massive improvement and that front 9 on your scorecard looks like a solid run. You're definitely correct that the further you get the more stressful the run because it's so easy to blow a great 9+ holes with one little mistake.

Glad you have it another attempt though!

Player 1 keeps a higher rank!

Feeling a lot better about my ability to play this game. Still managing to bogey or double bogey a hole here and there, but at least I can consistently birdie a decent percentage of them.

When do the rules for Mario Golf drop? We can start submitting scores on the 10th, correct?

What are you playing it on? Avoid the ps2 collection the lag is so bad, it's almost impossible to get a good score.

[Crabmaster2000]

Pretty sure he is playing the SNK collection on the PSP

Apparently you're onto something, coach Doug. I was playing the PS2 version, but switched to the PSP version yesterday, partly to get a different perspective and partly so my wife wouldn't know I was still playing.

It took me a long time to get to this. I made myself quit and put the game down every time I screwed up so I wouldn't rage too hard, and there are so many ways to screw up, as previously noted. The best I could do as of yesterday was +4, which I thought was great because it was the first time I didn't force quit any holes.

Anyway, I finally had all the stars line up for a round just now, and I am done with this game because I feel like I could play fifty more rounds and not get a decent score like this again. The key was getting lucky breaks on all the holes that were giving me trouble, then getting past 16 without over-shooting it. Anyway here's a -5 for me. I'm looking forward to starting the next game.

Oh wow! Does that put everyone under par?? That's pretty awesome

Nice score Shawn!  I chuckled about you hiding it from the wife.

No, Mario Golf starts on the 11th. That gives us 10 full days to play each course.

Also, I'm playing on the PS2 collection and that's where my score came from. I'm not experiencing any lag at all. Each golfers swing meter goes at a different speed depending on their accuracy, so perhaps that is what you are experiencing Doug.

Finally, not as good as some but achieved a -11 [img width=700 height=340]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181210/e31b6a0a5a0abfbaa2de4586a40bdbb0.jpg[/img]

Everyone's killing it! Great scores, Shawn and Douglie007! Seems like this competition is going to be fairly stiff.

Today is the last day to post Turf Masters scores. I have also posted the Mario Golf Course and settings for that segment of the competition beginning tomorrow. Good luck to all!
