Hard to get much going here at SGO about golf gaming it seems. This is still the best video I’ve seen of TGC 2019 in action… great job with it!
This was a truly great video. It’s nice to see some gameplay in 4K res, and you hit a lot of the key details of the game. I’d have liked to have seen the difference the use of “Master” clubs, versus the Pro clubs you were using would have made. This game plays so much more realistically out of the rough and on chips shots now, compared to TGC 2. TGC 2019 can’t get here soon enough to suit me.
