AG Tour Returns

The AG Tour returned for its 6th season last week. 18 players teed it up at TPC Scottsdale for the first handicapped event of the season and what a close run thing it was.

After the first round Burga boii who shot a personal best gross 58 had the lead but collapsed under the pressure in the more difficult scoring round 2 and shot a disappointing gross 70. Red Rhinoceros also broke 60 in his first round with a gross 59 and when the handicaps were taken into account he ended up joint winner with RFC Buncey who had a pair of gross 66's. It was tremendous to see so many players tee it up for the first event and with a mere 2 shots separating the top 6 players it looks like we will have a very exciting season. Special mentions go to Emotionalworm and Harryn9000 who got themselves into contention and finished joint 4th. Here is the full Week 1 final leaderboard:

TGC 2019 Tips and Strategies

TGC2019 is a game I love playing, beautifully recreated real life courses are complimented by a myriad of courses from the minds of course designers some of which are visually stunning. The gameplay itself is very reflective of real life golf and is without doubt the best golf game ever created.
 
HOWEVER like most games it can be as frustrating as hell, particularly the putting so I have put together this game guide for those struggling at the game. I start of with some strategies to employ generally in the game and finish up with my way of dealing with the putting.
 
Golf Bag
 
I will start off with the clubs you can put in your golf bag. Starting the game use Beginner Clubs, they are so forgiving your swing can be very off but you shouldn’t end up in huge trouble. You should aspire to using Pro clubs if playing regularly, there is great satisfaction from playing a round well with them, as for Master clubs they are for the absolute addicts. You can carry 14 including a putter. Experiment with club selections. I like to carry as many wedges as I can PW, GW, SW, LW as these are the scoring clubs. I then carry all the irons down to a 5 iron and then the 5 and 3 hybrids, a 3 wood and Driver. I find they cover nearly all yardages. You will come across the odd tough yardage but you cannot cover everything. My Google Docs Spreadsheet ( See copy at the bottom ) shows the carry and roll yardages for every club in my bag for Pro clubs, the rollout on Beginner clubs will not far off these.

Rhino meets Niwintz

It's time for instalment 3 of our Rhino Meets series and this time I tracked down one of AG's men from Northern Ireland , one of our Transfer Admins and League One promotion candidate Niwintz.

Rhino : Where does your username come from ?

Niwintz : My nickname from a young kid was wintz (my surname is Winters), I added the ni to the start NOT because I am from Northern Ireland but I messed my gamertag email up and it was easier to change from wintz to niwintz.

Rhino Meets DiodeX

In our second installment of Rhino Meets ....... I introduce my long time late night buddy Diodex


Let's get straight into this one mate ;

You have an unusual username , where does it come from ?
I work in Electronics, its the word that worked best and the X was cos someone already had Diode! fuckers. And you numpties, Its DI ODE, not DIO DE!

2. Where do you come from?
I live in a very sleepy village in Dorset, with blinding fast 12meg Fibre...

3. After 2 rounds you are in 5th position in league one, do you feel you have what it takes this season to compete for a playoff place? What position would you be happy with?
LOL, no. I figure I did ok to get a win from Burnzee and Tunners, but playing the Niwintz, Big B and Jobis will be my ultimate downfall, even your elite team will bend me over backwards. Anyone can beat me. And 7/8th is the best I can hope for.

Expansion Continues - Berty's TGC Tour Round Up

Our number on the TGC Tour continues to grow with the good news that last week Goldenbeard earned his card by completing Q-School. Dickie shot -13 which was a decent score on a tricky course to finish 164th and earn a card on CC-F. An experienced player at the golf game he only made a recent return to competitive action and will be hoping to rise through the tour.

Joe continued his fine form on CC-A and for the second week in a row he managed to eliminate one of the demotion strikes he was carrying. Joe shot -25 to finish in 96th place, just one shot good enough to clear the strike. He has one strike remaining but with the fine run he is on he will hopefully clear that this week.

Red Rhinoceros had also been showing good from recently, even coming close to a top 20 place last week but he came crashing back down to earth this week with a 127th place finish on -16 on CC-B. Still with no strikes he will be hoping to rediscover his form for both the TGC and the ongoing Ryder Cup.
