Links Corner Forum

That is fixed in the new upload I just did.....should be good to go when Andy uploads the fix to the download page.

Sage......

I've suspended downloads until Sage is happy that it is fixed.

Looks better Sage.

In addition to the importance of club selection you can also add shot selection and positional play as elements that test you.

In Links it is certainly not a walk over course, somewhat rare in a real course rendition.

Thanks Des, I downloaded the course and all looks good to me.

CHEERS!

Thanks for all the hard work, Sage, and all the others. I DL every course, but I haven't played a single game since late 2021, but I'm going to give it a go. It'll be like starting over again, and it'll be interesting to see if I can get my timing back.

Hope you like all your downloaded courses.....

Perhaps a different swing type might also be in order.

I found the fade and draw shots that pmgolf described adding to RTS has made that swing type more complete with ways to play many golf shots possible.

I have been using RTS ever since Links 2003 was released. I always found the click swing to not be golf like. I thought Powerstroke may be a goer at one stage, but the click for the wrist snap put me off since in golf that is something you cannot really control. I came to Links from playing golf, so as close to the real thing is what I look for.

However you play, enjoy, there have been some great course releases in recent times.

I've been playing the "Classic" swing from the very beginning, and that goes back to my Apple ][, IIgs days with "Mean 18". I'm left-handed, but I never switched the buttons over, so my mouse tends to aim a bit NE to accommodate that, and that would make the fancier swings a bit more complicated. Plus, having had a stroke, I'll have my hands [hand] full just getting back the timing that used to be so automatic. I really enjoy viewing these courses, just as I did trying to play real golf, which I was never any good at. I recall playing Gallagher's Canyon in Kelowna in 1980 (the ONLY golf course there at the time), and today, if I look at Kelowna on Google Earth, I count 13 courses, 45 years later. It'll be fun in any case, that's at least four years of new courses I've never even looked at. I created a dozen courses for Mean 18 back in the day, but that was shooting ducks in a barrel compared with the Links course architect.
