@gene: Yes I am keeping in mind the slower speeds in Europe/The Open
Also, I already changed some of the 'deepgrass-like' textures to play as Deep Grass instead of Rough as they were set to before. Plus the old 2d grasses didnt seem to affect the ball at all, I plan on adding a bit of dampening to the replanted grasses, its a Linksland and Open course after all. Greens certainly wont be very close to the true greens in this case since there is little info to go on and Im not intending to spend months on this course, but JB has already featured a decent amount of the overall characteristics it seems like, and I aim to build on that a little bit at least. It seems like Strackaline does have this course, but even if someone did feel like purchasing them there might not be enough time before the open to get the materials delivered, I dont know if they do digital stuff or not. I tried finding hole location sheets for past opens at St George's but was unsuccessful.
Since it has a sort of realistically chance of affecting play I guess I'll have to make a new version right away instead of waiting until after the Open...
