Re: Windows 11

An article on Slashdot writes, "Windows Users Surprised by Windows 11's Short List of Supported CPUs" Windows 11 will only support 8th Gen and newer Intel Core processors, alongside [Intel's 2016-era] Apollo Lake and newer Pentium and Celeron processors. That immediately rules out millions...

Re: Rolling Contoured Courses of Unpredictability

I have been mining this thread for courses for a while now and must say that I have really "enjoyed" playing some of the courses listed here. If it weren't for their being mentioned/recommended here, I might never have downloaded some of these. Now, I understand that most of these courses ...

Re: Nautilus Bay Tour Edition

Nautilus Bay Tour Edition course. I consider it to be one of the best links course designs. The course provides an interesting challenge with spectacular scenery. Thanks for the tip. I've been (slowly) working my way through all the courses I've downloaded (500+). I am never entirely sure which one...

What are you not a big fan of? what re-creation? Forest Dunes Golf Course Roscommon Michigan Release Date: 2017-07-13 Style: OCEAN He writes in the description: "My version of this course. I added the ocean to the course.." (ocean?!) Now, of course he has every right to interpret a golf c...

Chicago GC (message to Sage Vanni)

Hey Sage, finally got around to playing this course in Links .. it is pretty nice, thank you for contributing it. Of course, it reminds me of The South Course at Arcadia Bluffs: https://arcadiabluffs.com/the-south-course (which was designed with Chicago GC in mind). If you are looking for another co...

Re: Shot Tips

Using the Classic swing gauge (I know, amateur hour :tongue: ), if you are in a greenside bunker that is not too deep, you can select to Chip from there rather than use a full swing. The benefit to this is that the progress bar on the swing gauge moves slower, so it is easier to hit the "mark&q...

Re: Courses with the Toughest Greens

Sorry. I had already included Augusta when I read your message. Maybe someone else might like to try it. 1) I've got 2 files for you, that you can play against. Two courses. You would be wise to play a practice round first. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ny6jkqfkc4pzgtz/pmgolf-LSPN%20CrookedCreekHD3%20w...

Links: The Challenge of Golf gameplay (PC Game, 1990)

Happened to see this video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5TPAxMfpbQ Shows someone playing 9 holes on the original, Access Software Links version. Trying to remember if I've played that version. I'm thinking not, the version which was the first one I ever tried was more likely the next...

Re: Courses I'd like to see in Links 2003 Part 2

With my Michigan bias at full steam, I'd love to see any of these: Crystal Downs (by Dr. Alister MacKenzie!) Greywalls (Mike DeVries course in Marquette) The Bluffs course at Arcadia Bluffs (right on Lake Michigan shoreline) The Bear at Grand Traverse Resort (Jack Nicklaus course in Traverse City) (...

Re: Easy Courses

Elite level!? I accidentally started a round in that mode and was horrified at how difficult that is. Forget it, I'm not trying to accomplish anything profound playing Links, it's just for enjoyment. It's the same reason I don't keep playing with persimmon drivers/woods in my real life game (althoug...
