I've had the game now for a month and played on and off.  I use motion swing and have it set at the highest level of difficulty, off, off, off.

My last score was 103 for 18 holes which is about 18 higher than what I average in real golf.  Ouch!

The putting is really difficult.  Still not sure if full power is 60 feet or 70 feet on a flat green.  The chipping is almost as difficult.  When I play real golf, I chip with either a PW or 9 iron and I pick a spot and try to land it there and then expect some roll.  Very tough to  do that in this game.  Shots out of bunkers more often then not do not get ANY roll.  It seems the majority of bunker shots check up.  Not sure about the physics for  these shots.

I think the game still has a long way to go before it meets my expectations but I'll keep playing .

One other comment.  I am getting approach shots that hit the green then suck back close to 40 feet!  The last time it occurred  I used  a 9 iron.  Not sure about the physics here either.

There are a multitude of assists to help you in the game, if you turn them all off it's going to be tricky! Hope you stick with it and start to learn the things that cause spin or the lack of it in some cases. Tutorials will help in this area and they will be forthcoming soon.

The best thing about PG is that it is difficult as hell. With assist off, that is.

It is so essentiel that it is challenging. A well know rival golf game lost all of my interest as it was way too easy.

I have yet to score below par for 18 holes, but I improve a liittle bit from time to time, and I love it.

It is by far the best golf game since Links2003 and a game I have wantes for many years. I just hope for updates and courses. The best thing is seing a new update

This is a real golf simulation. If someone wants a arcade game, there is always tiger woods/EAs games. Those are not for me though, so it has been some terrible golf years since links2k3. Luckily the waiting days are over

Hopefully we can appeal to all kinds of players including those people just wanting a 'walk in the park' so to speak. I see no reason to make the easy levels difficult but you're right, at the hardest levels is should be as close to a simulation game as possible.

 

Glad you're having fun with it!

This is probably one of the coolest things about this game to be honest.  The range of difficulty levels is awesome.  I can use full assists on motion swing and shoot 5-6 under and sometimes better on an exceptional round.  Or I can turn all assists off and I struggle to shoot par.

 

Then you can change tees and playing conditions to add a whole different level of challenge (or lack thereof).

 

Sometimes I feel like stroking my ego so I'll play with all assists from the member tees and tear it up.  Sometimes I want to really grind through a round and I bump up the stimp meter a little, play from the tips and turn all assists off.  Pretty darn cool
