You read my mind. Completely agree.

It's nice to see they have course design in the game for PC AND consoles, but it certainly doesn't seem to allow you to recreate a real course as accurately as TW08 PC did. The course architect for Perfect Golf will probably end up being much, much better than the one in The Golf Club as well. Yet another reason (in addition to the omission of turn based online multiplayer) for me to pass on TGC.

Well I am equally excited to play Perfect Golf - I just wish there was some type of news on a release period or where the game stands, other than "we are working on it" Initially they said winter of 2013, and here we are ready to enter the 2nd quarter of 2014 and that's the best insight we can get?

R1

I'd like to either match up Taylormade fairway woods or Titleist to match my irons. I'll definitely have to do some swinging this spring, but I think I'm gunna start with a new putter first.

Nice. A friend I went golfing with every week last summer bought an R1 ... he's not hitting it as well as his old Burner, fwiw. Of course, everyone's different. It sure does look slick, though.

Perfect Golf. Now, that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time.

Seriously, Perfect Golf had my attention back in June of 2012, when it was unveiled but, now almost 2 years later, I have very little confidence that it will ever get released. I dare them to prove me wrong but, I've lost all hope for that game.

Yea it took me about a month to figure out how to hit it (was scared to play after a few range sessions). But once i did, boy, I knock the snot out of it.
I'm hoping they have R1 fairway woods, mostly so I can match them up, but it doesn't seem that way.

So any new rounds you've played BluenGold?
