  1. Most of the places have been mentioned, but Union Kitchen and Dish Society (Hot chicken sandwich is great) are right there on Memorial as well. Roostar is at Gessner and Long Point just north of I-10. State Fare has some good eats and everyone forgets about it but Churrascos is upstairs from SF. Still excellent and never crowded. Urban American Kitchen is at Kirkwood/Memorial and solid. Sam's B&P has always been hit or miss for me.
  2. cool, I will probably download it and give it a try. The Golf Club games were just too difficult around the greens. There was no consistency it seemed. Very frustrating.
  3. I know its based on The Golf Club from a few years back which I had and really never got into it. It was too inconsistent, especially on putts/chips to be any fun. A couple of the reviews I watched said that this game play was definitely more forgiving than the originals, so that's definitely a good thing. In my mind the joysticks on the PS4 controllers are too loose to be consistent. I never got into Tiger Woods much either. Tried it with the motion controllers, but it seemed inconsistent and I have a bad back and it would get sore if I played it alot. TW also sucked because you'd start off with a driver that went about 14 yards and couldn't even reach the fairways in some cases. While Tiger Woods sucked because the club progression was not well done, it sounds like there isn't much in the way of club progression/upgrades in this game. A little disappointing, but it takes specific design considerations in order to make that feasible and if you're using actual courses, you don't have the ability to be creative - one of the things that Playdemic actually does a pretty good job with on Golf Clash. I love course designers though, and it sounds like that is pretty robust on this game. The originals were a little clunky - never made more than a few holes and never completed a full 9 holes. This review seems about how I felt with The Golf Club games - seems like its better, but not really there yet. https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/reviews/pga-tour-k-is-par-course/ How do societies work? Do you play against other players in the Society? Against other Societies? Do you have to schedule and play at certain times, e.g., are you playing head to head at the same time or do you just play a round and see what score you get?
  4. How is this game? I typically hate golf games on consoles.
  5. [emoji23]. I'm a surly asshole.
  6. We need 3 or 4, 5k players. Fud can be 1 of them if he'd play. I'm good for 8-10k. Sam and Cason are good for 1k. I think a few others are good for 800-1200k. Tough to recruit high volume players. Everyone I play is in a masters II clan or better. HHII is my better recruiting player... In the sweet spot, T5-7. You just can't put up many points 4 at a time needs to be at least 8 or 10 per win.
  7. We're definitely going to struggle until we get more members. We're in a league with hook em horns too. Surely some of those guys /gals here. Get on board!
  8. [emoji1787] Need some Deadshank too!
  9. Yeah, work is busy here too. Couldn't spend any time on the tournament and just had to play. Made the cut in masters but just shot -12 both rounds. Won't be playing much at all until later next week. We can definitely use you next season. Also if there's anyone other mercenaries looking for a place to take it easy, they are welcome.
  10. Haha, you've been doing work. How's it going? Your dog has been a vice captain.
  11. We're about to move up to Masters 1 so you get 5 bags and I think +90% gems. We aren't going to move past 1M without more players so we can use everyone we can get.
  12. I went through something just a few days ago like this. Almost every player had multiple gold banners. Every shootout was within a yard. Lots of holes in one. I didn't lose that many in a row but I bet I lost 25 of 30. It wasn't fun. But I have two other accounts so I just played those. Came back after a few days and it was much closer to normal. I think alot were replays. I've also noticed long times to get a match and even delays loading the game. So I think maybe they are having technical issues. If you're interested, you should come join our clan. Almost everyone on this thread is on the team. BABABOOEY! I try to post a lot of helpful information for general play and also for tournaments.
  13. Much respect [emoji109]
  14. Also might as well make some points for a team that is trying to move up and is sitting in decent shape to do that. [emoji16] We can still use all the points we can get.
  15. Any reason to continue to hold or time to get out?
  16. That tournament was definitely difficult to get drops. Lots of good chances but they were inconsistent. Sorry to hear y'all aren't going to get promoted. Right now we're looking on. Currently 15th and the top 20 get to move to M1. We'd love to have you on the team. We've added several players recently and definitely want to keep growing. Feel free to make the jump whenever - the earlier the better. We aren't guaranteed to get promoted and can use all the points we can get. In going to be putting out as much 9-hole tournament information as I can to help out the team.
  17. See, that's what the pressure does. [emoji1787]
  18. look at it as an opportunity to put pressure on your oppenent. Can he follow your hole in one?
  19. This is why I want to create shootout guides for all the tours. It will help everyone to know where to line up and how to adjust. It's especially important when going to a new tour where you don't know how to hit the shot.
  20. We really need Fud to come back and play some but I know he's grinding for some other clan in the C100. Unfortunately, my work schedule is going to be brutal this week so I can't put up a bunch of points. Hopefully we have enough to stay in the Top 20 and move up to Masters. I will play the tournament with all 3 accounts, but won't have time to dial in shots at all, I'll probably just play the rounds as quick as possible. We'll see how it goes. Definitely nice to have more players on the team. I'm excited to see it growing. None of y'all mfers chat much though.
  21. Awesome man. The main thing, especially in 1v1 is to get the ball in the hole. However you have to do it. If you can keep it in play you'll be good in most matches, especially in the early tours. Do you have the link to my Google Docs? I included a link to a complete club guide (Although I think its missing Level 9 Rare clubs for some reason). Anyways, it lets you sort clubs by different metrics. So if you want accuracy over distance, you can set accuracy at a higher percentage weighting and distance lower or curl or topspin or whatever. And it will give you a ranking of the clubs. It's pretty cool. Feel free to email me at houstonhorngc@gmail.com and I'll give you access to it. I think its on reddit and you can probably find it pretty easily there (or maybe not because Reddit).
  22. -12 on the back. Wish I could have played while I was hot on Saturday. Last focus on the 3rd hole and made birdie with a dumb error. Cost me A Top 10. Oh well. Did get my silver in my sky account and my baby amount,
  23. It's a tough course. Without P5 balls and mid to high level clubs is very difficult to score well. The drops on the Par 3s are inconsistent at best on 2 and 5 and 8 is nearly impossible to get. The par 4s aren't gimmes for drops either. Two of the Par 5s aren't reachable without the right clubs and balls and are very difficult albatrosses The third is an easy eagle IF you play a power slice and isn't an easy alby. I love it. It's a challenge. That said, the shots are out there too be had. But I've put more time into this tournament than any other. So far it's paid off (knock on wood). And if you stay out of trouble you can put up a decent score. I have a -22 with my baby baby account I started earlier in the week just for this tournament. I did buy a P5 ball pack to make up for my lack of clubs. Had two pars on the first /tenth holes due to bad drives. Should be good for top 20. Other than that I played really well. On my alt I shot -27. Two albatross Esperanto a par on 17. I'm currently 2nd with 2 players who shot - 27 in their loosening rounds yet to play. Really hoping for a top 3 banner in a major. On my main account I'm at -14 through 9. -32 is leading and - 29 is second with a few good players remaining. If I can match the front I stand a good chance of Top 10 with an outside shot at top 5. But I could just as easily shoot a - 11 or 12 on the back.
  24. yes, exactly. So the person going second doesn't have an advantage.
