Great news Z. What's the eta for those new courses? Could you also request Longabarger along with Elgin, I saw it listed on that website as well. It's a great layout with lots of elevation changes. Constantly ranked in top 100 public courses I have played it several times. Thanks

[ZMax]

Will try. I suspect we'll get all the courses eventually.


SFR, range is overrated. And you only really wanted just one course anyway. Right?

[SFR]

Once I perfect that one I will be ready for the senior tour.

[craig118]

When will these courses be available? I was checking them out *online, at least the real *ones. *Looks like a bunch more courses from Pennsylvania, wonder why so many *Pa. courses? Three Rees Jones courses, one RTJ course and one Fazio. Most of the real courses are rated top 20 in their respective states. Lookaway Hills, Totteridge *and Quarry at Giants Ridge look nice. I think we already have Warkshire *National and Autum Hills is a refresh, not that I am complaining.. Awesome.

Very soon Craig.

[ZMax]

Hoping this week or next week at the latest. I wonder if they're just partial to some creators.

[ZMax]

Got to love anything that is free. This is one of the main reasons I stick with the ProTee. With the latest interface things are really looking great!

Remember how you felt on Xmas morning when you still believed in Santa clause? Well.........keep your fingers crossed!

[bubba22]

Psace, you go rid of the chimney! How is Santa gonna deliver the presents? If he is current then probably UPS. Lol!
The last interfac is great. Excellent job by Protee. More stuff to come!!!!

Hcam PT5 looking great with wedges now.

[bubba22]

Z what changes, if any did you make to get PT5 working well on Hcam?

Will post info in the updates thread with picture. I will stress that if your current methods are working for you, there's no need to try these on the Hcam. But I do recommend everybody try it on the Vcam.

[bubba22]

Yes. I agree ZMax. The vcam is great with the PT5. my Hcam is working gret so will leave it as PT3.

[ZMax]

Also, with the new PT5, you can now reposition(6-12") or tilt the Hcam slightly towards the screen side to help block out the club.

Who was the lucky winner of that ebay auction? $3600 for everything was a great deal.

Did I miss this? I can't find it on the completed listing.

How high end of a PC are you guys running? Also are any of you using a touchscreen monitor? Would that work well?

[Baller]

Hcam on PT5 is Greeeaaat so far! Thanks! I also added the second light--not my preferred lighting setup, but wanted to make it work before I went crazy. Also had to put something dark on the carpet to help as the light was too bright on it. Picks up my driver wonderfully.

AMD quad II. GTX460. Some courses will slow down if detail is maxed out. 1080p. Planning on upgrading to 8 core CPU and GTX670, GTX760, or ATI 7870.

I think somebody here uses a touchscreen.

Glad you're liking it. Now join us online.

[bubba22]

Awesome Baller. Yes, join us online!

[Baller]

Glad you're liking it. Now join us online.

I'll definitely be ready for a shot at online play soon. Thank you so much for your help! I got another really high, high spin shot. 10-11,000 RPM with a lob wedge. Is that normal? I just tried again and got about the same.

Playing my first real round tomorrow since starting on the sim... wish me luck.

[ZMax]

Was this on the range? That might be a little high.


Good luck tomorrow. We're done with real golf around here.

[Baller]

That was in a round. I hit another one (I had it set to mulligans allowed so I could fool around) and it was 12,264 rpm.

After that, Protee Play crashed and said it was because of lack of response from the Protee server. Nothing is wrong with my connection though.

[ZMax]

How far from the green?


They might have had a server problem or internet problem. Seen that happen last year when they lost their internet connection. We couldn't play online. Could only start the game using offline mode from the portal.

[craig118]

Red chain flyby's of Quarry at Giants Ridge. http://www.giantsridge.com/quarry.html

[ZMax]

Good find. Nice looking course.

[ZMax]

At least we can just grab ours and take it to the range...... if it didn't have 3 foot of snow on it

Hmmm...I'll put that on my Xmas list or maybe my year's resolution list?

Western PA specifically. I've played both Totterridge and Quicksilver. Totterridge is a nice course - has a lot of elevation change on a couple holes. It plays nicely. It was a private course that went public.

There used to be a Ben Hogan? tour and Senior tour event at Quicksilver. It has some heavily contoured greens. Its a strange layout though. There are some really wild doglegs on the back 9. 18 has a church pew bunker like Oakmont (and a green that is 30-40 feet above the fairway)

Zmax or anyone really

I am trying to finish off my flooring. Here is my dilemma.
My subfloor is 2x2 tiles with the plastic bottom. (approx .875 inch thick) You can buy them from Home Depot.

On the Stance mat side with the main sensor pad I have the 2x2's, then 3/4 inch plywood and a 1 inch stance mat that brings it up to the level of the main sensor.

On the putting side I had an old stance mat approx. 1 inch in thickness and I cut a hole in the middle and placed the putting sensor. This is sitting on top of the 2x2x.875 subfloor. Problem is the sensor is not covered over the top, and it is not the same height at the main sensor so it is a step down so to speak. I want the area to look better. And also to be able to cover the putting sensor as has been recommended. Not sure what to do?

I have looked at maybe buying a 4 ft x 8ft putting green that is at least a 1/4 inch thick and then cutting a hole in the subfloor and placing the putting sensor all the way down to the cement. Then cutting 2 slots in the putting green to go over the sensor. Is this a good idea or should I try something else.

Another option would be to cover the whole subfloor with 3/4 inch plywood, 1/2 padding and 1/2 carpet the whole area. I would then not use the 1 inch stance mat anymore. Would be more expensive so not sure if this is a good idea.

Any suggestions would be very grateful as I am frustrated with the flooring.

This is the best idea. It'll give you a clean look and nice area to putt. Just make sure it's very dark.
