List was in post I made before in form of jpg. file that did not have show up own for last post I did as to see the course you have to go back to see the original link. That post involved MrT. asking about techniques of game. The 19 courses were made in transition period afterwards where course designers created texture properties acting differently than the 36 possible presets involving firmness/fastness for fairways and greens. I am not for certain and hope a noted course designer might weigh in and address firmness/fastness settings where kind of think they are now leaving that up to players to choose one of 36 possible choices to play and not create a new one themselves as there is so much work to do otherwise in designing a course anyhow. As mentioned the default selecting that recommended setting might otherwise go to firmest/fastest setting for older and newer courses other than 19 mentioned. There was a utility program added named Links Extender, possibly the same one where changes were possible for firmness/fastness of greens put out for designers where they could also customize rough to how shots out of it came out, such as only being possible to wedge out. Even though designers could have used stock textures they were given the keys to make changes to what they liked beyond what changes APCD program already had available to use from its inception. Instead of seeing you go astray by being a newbie I wanted to make you aware of the mistake that you were doing playing an older course not set up to be played with suggested course settings as were not yet possible. Here I would say that on some tough greens with severe slopes in between say away from hole 45 feet or so I chip with lw and play up high on slope hopeful shot rolls down close to hole where know a putter does not impart any grip to stop shot. There is option in 1.07 mod that takes away option to chip on greens if so choose to do.
