No really hot news from PP - in the meantime, HBS has announced that it is teaming up with Greg Norman's design company GNGCD. And the Ozzers say that they will use the TGC course creator on some of their real course projects.

Sorry, but that would be like me using an etch-a-sketch to draw the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel - a seriously inadequate tool for a seriously ambitious task.

 

Read up on it here

And also here!

 

And of course the Forums over at HBS are dripping with enthusastic euphoria. I almost registered on them just to go poop on their party. I didn't, instead I'll do a bit of pooping here. Just because there's a big name in front of a product does not make it better. Anyone being reminded of the Arnold Palmer Course Designer? Also: Dramatic change of tack from HBS, claiming not to want to buy licenses for real players, courses and products and then pulling this stunt.

No demerits to Mr. Greg Norman intended. A great champion of the game. Poorly advised, no doubt.

 

Do I sound a bit too envious, maybe? Allow me to remedy that:

PP, if you ever are going to stick the big name of some outdated golf has-been in front of your products just to glam them up, I'll be outta here faster than you can say "Huh?" 

Unless of course you call them Ka-Boom Golf and K11Course designer. And perhaps if it were with Lee Trevino. Or any other truly legendary superstar of the game. Or start saying "Huh?".

I think MJ did some work with the Greg Norman design team when he created 'Royal Kenya' for Links 2003?

 

Royal Kenya is a fictitious name, as I think the deal was he could make it available for us in Links 2003 but couldn't use the real name of the course.

 

I doubt very much, the TGC CC will recreate anything near what MJ did with Royal Kenya in the APCD.

 

If it does, then they are obviously using a totally different TGC CC to what the punter are being allowed to use.

Well I know you have already mentioned the deal with Sky Sports and their Shot Center simulator software being provided by PP from after the USPGA, so I hope the announcement you have is something in addition to this.

All this chatter is Greek to me. I decided to slum my way into the site. Haven't been here for a long time. I'm still playing WGT, and with a proug that is mostly comprised of the old guys/gals from the SUPER PACK from TWO. M

It didn't let me finish. I was saying, my PC is on it's last leg, but until i'm more financially stable, a new PC is out. The requirements with HB's new game, is way to advanced for this PC to work properly. I'm holding my breath, crossing my fingers, and i've stopped throwing rocks at cars passing by my apartment, in anticipation of a terrific new golf game, that will sweep the country faster than the new dance craze, THE SHRIMP. Git-er-dun, and if need be, i'll buy a new PC just to be able to play PP - PG.

P.S.- Hey K11, how goes it?

Same old, same old, Gary. Nice to hear from you, glad to learn that you're able to splurge on a new PC. You didn't really stop throwing rocks at cars, did you? You don't need to pretend around here. We're all doing it and if you want to be one of us, you better pick up your old hobby again.

It's early days and I doubt PP have done too much optimizing yet, but I feel I'm getting 2-3 times the frame rate on PP compared to TGC at equivalent graphics quality (with Steam turned off). Nothing scientific, just a general feeling.
