After seven months of waiting and procrastinating I finally got to play TGC last night, and the experience completely changed my decision to wait for a lag-free multiplayer version before buying it. I registered with Steam today, purchased TGC, and was playing it a few minutes later! I've already done a good few hours now and I have to say, so far I'm loving the game. Yes there are things that could be better, but I can't believe that some people do not think that they are getting their moneys worth with this game. Just one round of real golf can cost many times more! Just one days play and I feel like it has paid me back in enjoyment already!!
One thing that has surprised me so far, is how much fun it is playing a ghost ball with turn based enabled. It feels very much like live multiplayer, just without the chat. I've been lucky enough so far to have close rounds each time, but it would be perfect if, in the future you could define the min and max score so that you could always play ghosts of your own ability. Eventually though, if HB get the ranking system right I presume that this will be an option to select compatible ghosts to play.
Anyway, congratulations to all at HB Studios for this most excellent game. I can't wait to see how it evolves over the months and years ahead.
