I have no idea what difficulty setting my career guy is. This thing has a lot of not very well explained options.

I signed up for the tourney, but it wouldn't let me play since I logged in with my Advanced career dude. Started an Intermediate guy last night and started leveling him. Teh grind is teh sux!  |

I won't be respectable until 2 months from Monday. I might as well let my kid play my rounds since he'll probably do a better job than me. Plus you can hear him say "jub-jub" over and over again over Live. |

Looks like 4 players is enough to start the tournament. Anyone who still wants to join up, let me know your Gamertag (after it's registered on XSN Sports), and I'll invite you. I'll begin the tourney tomorrow night after I get home (and probably play my round later on that night).

When is the deadline? I spent my weekend doing other things beside catassing my Intermediate golfer's skills to greatness. His drives are still well short of 300 most of the time, which is just embarrassing!

Next deadline is 7/30/05. I think you have pretty much this whole week to play Round 1.

I'll have to add you on the next one. Apparently, even though no one has played a hole of golf yet, since today was the beginning date I can't add anyone else.

So, I played the first game last night. I did not know that apparently, there is a 2-minute time limit on each hole. If you don't finish the hole in 2 minutes, you get a 1-stroke penalty. And yes, the timer resets after the penalty and you can get ANOTHER penalty. Holy shit. For our next tourney, I will have to see if I can stop that shit. Finding this out on the first hole flustered me so much, I SCREWED THE FUCKING POOCH. BAD.
My first hole I shot a 12. That's 2-stroke penalty for delay, a fucked up tee shot that topped over into the rough, a 2nd shot with a 3-wood from the rough that I also topped, right into the fucking water hazard, for another stroke penalty, and the 3-putt I did because I was trying to hurry the shot to not get the goddamn penalty. Fuckity fuck fuck fucker fuck. Luckily, I didn't repeat that fucktardery, but had I double-bogeyed that hole, I'd have ended up even instead of 6 over. I had a few fuckups on other holes, but none that bad.
I think for the next tourney I'm going to set us on the back tees instead of the middle ones, and try to kill that time delay shit.

Yikes! If John Daly had a hole like that, he would start drinking right on the course!
Next time, let's play Advanced- that should lead to some extra special pain. Plus my advanced golfer is much farther along than my Intermediate. The swing meter actually screws me up in Intermediate- I am so used to playing without it that I find it very distracting.

Shot my round today- was a little nervous at first; double bogeyed the first, bogeyed 2, and bogeyed 18. The rest in between was much better- went on a birdie tear. Left 2 eagle putts short by inches.
Final score was -6. Very beatable.

Hi, my name is schild and I'm too fucking stupid to figure out how to join the first round.

Go to Multiplayer menu, then go to XSN Sports. Choose the Bat Country tournament, then enter the key to the first round (it will default as SETTINGS)- ZTNK37F.

Hmmm. I know you signed up via the website. I seem to remember having to enter that info again through XBL before it showed up, but I can't remember now.

You have to go to XSN Sports on XBL, select New Tournament, then enter the tourney name (Bat Country) and password (1006971). Then select Bat Country on the menu (it should appear under New Tournament), and it'll ask for the round setting. 1st round is ZTNK37F as Way said.
And Way, your -6 isn't beatable by my +7, unless you royally screweth the pooch on the 2nd round.

When I go to XSN via XBL on my xbox, the only option is to make a new tournament, should I just enter "Bat Country" there?

W00t. Ok. So I didn't do that well. I think I beat Haemish, but after the round was over I turned off the Xbox in disgust with the last hole. Edit: By the way, Haem you bastard, Mulligans. WE NEED MULLIGANS. I had to play from a neighboring fairway once. Goddamn I hate it when my thumb twitches. HEYEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH.  |

Yeah, next tourney there will be at least 1 mulligan. And longer tee shots. And I'll know that there is a fucking time limit on each hole. Fucking timeout griefers who make it necessary to program in "fair play" bullshit like that make me sick.

I've calmed down since last night. That one fairway shot had me kicking stuff. I did manage a schweeeeeeeeeeeeet chip-in after a horrible hole though. Also had a couple super nice putts. All in all I was pretty happy with the game given the fact my stats are something like 4/3/4/3.

I think I have 15 total skill points, so I am right there with you. If you really want pain, set the next one to Advanced with no mulligans.
We should set up a match play one sometime so we can play together. Watching someone else explode is a joy to behold.

I still suck, just not as bad. I finished with a +9 overall. I do not do this bad offline. I boofooed a few holes by topping the ball with too much overspin or something. And just for consistency, I topped a ball into a water hazard on 10, then took so long to get it to the green that I got a 2-stroke penalty for time delay and ended up with a quintuple bogey on the hole, shooting a 10. FUCK.
We'll need to do another one of these, with different settings.

I will endeavor to finish my victory lap 2nd round tonight. I always up for another tourney too- I loves me some Links.

This time i TRIPLE-BOGEYED 9 and doubled 18- I can't seem to finish a side worth a damn. Still shot a nice score though, thanks to back to back eagles on 10 and 11.
Schild could catch me by shooting -19, I think.
