@Dazmaniac the TW course architect had a nasty habit of producing the torn seams... I'd be surprised if anyone put them in on purpose (although it is possible to do).
I think that axe360 was hoping that Courseforge would not replicate this issue...
Exactly garynorman, this is not put ih their purposely and I can't say 100percent for sure why these occur, sometimes when you lift textures to do some optimizing, sometimes when you are doing elevations work across different textures or sometimes when you smooth an area to much....
The pic is from a friend of mines course and the area with the seam is between the fairway and the first cut near the fairway bunker depicted in the overhead map, right where you see the golf ball..
This area is right next to that bunker and probably occurred due to working so closely to the textures and doing elevation work on that bunker.. As I explained these usually can be fixed easy enough but they are a pain and a fact of life. They can be real difficult though to fix when they occur between the green and the fringe but most designers that care about their course will fix everyone they can find.. that's why testing from other people is a must!
These are absolutely NOT done on purpose and you are right again gary, I am hoping these don't occur with the new CF too..
Daz, if you saw this seam on a custom TW's course, it was there because the designer missed it or didn't care to fix it, usually because it was missed.
