Let the competition begin! Phase one of asynchronous gameplay has been implemented. Each course now has a Rival select flow which allows you to browse your friends and other community members completed rounds. Select who you would like to play against or alongside before starting your round. Rival scores update on the scoreboard along with you as you complete each hole. In addition to Rivals we have also added stat tracking per difficulty which is displayed on the back of the yardage book. After each round is completed you can see your individual stats based on the difficulty you’re currently playing on. To try and keep the game fair for everyone we have added some anti-cheating checks to keep the Rivals list honest. If you are caught cheating during your round the hole will be marked on your scoreboard and the round will not be posted once it’s been completed.

Bug Fixes

  • Clearing local save data and then resuming saved course leaves watch/pointer/menu disabled
  • If user switches controllers without restarting the game, the new controller will not display shot grades.
  • Add the green speeds to the putter info pop up instead of surface penalty, when on the green.
  • The practice putt on Pro flashes in when putting beside the ball.
  • Interactions between golf balls and clubs and the bag cause the bag to fall over.
  • The ball can bounce off of the users pocket after being hit.
  • The watch breaks after losing tracking with the headset.
