My ONE HOLE OF POOR PLAY. Ahem. I'm not sure why I was yelling. (But it was pretty extraordinarily...)

For what it's worth, one of the things I noted with the Quest 2 early on was that it struggled to finish 18 holes, even with a full battery. However, I found a relatively easy workaround for this, by finding a long (6') USB-C cord, and having it plugged in to a Macbook Power Brick (larger amperage). While not IDEAL (ideal would be a small USB-C power bank in a back pocket with the cord running up my back to the headset, but that may be a future purchase), it still gets the job done, and I've found that as long as my back is to the cord/plug, it never really gets in the way. If you DO decide to go this route (or something similar), just make sure the brick you're plugged into has enough power to actually charge the Quest, as just plugging in to a small brick (think small iPhone or iPad sized plug) will still drain the battery life (though admittedly slower than without anything). Hope this helps!

Date 07/25/2024 Course Name Tierra Rejada Gross Score 80 Course Rating 69.3 Course Slope 124 Gross Strokes over/under par 8 Birdies or better 5 Longest Drive 279 DAMN YOU NINTH HOLE!!!! Sigh. Ok. That's out of my system. First time playing 18 in three weeks, and feel like, with the exception of that one holler, played really, really well. Two natural birdies (including on 18 which I got a stroke on, which I didn't realize until after), and three more that missed by approximately 1.5" total. I DON'T think it's enough to get us through, @rkj427, but I really did try to make as much good stuff happen as I could What's crazy, is I find this course to be VERY challenging. Lots of uphill par-4/5's, lots of narrow fairways, and this is by far my best score ever on this course, but according to the slope/rating, I only get 6 strokes, which feels punative, lol. Anyway, killer day, perfect weather (didn't get hot until we finished), and a great time with a buddy. Here's a couple of shots from the day, and my scorecard.

I'm not going to lie - I absolutely LOVE this feature, lol. Feels VERY true to life, in a way that VR keeps surprising me by. BTW, the club-holder I now have is MILES better than the one I had bought previously. Everything about it is better - the weight of it feels more realistic, the double-velcro straps (For those of you with Oculus 3, I have Oculus 2, so it's a slightly different setup than you all have) genuinely keep the controller in place, and swinging it feels ... real, in a way that's almost confusing, lol. Really excited to see you all on the "field" of battle!

I love this question! I've been on a steady decline Handicap-wise over the last 3 years, from +20 to my now 8.2 (lowest ever). I only really get to play / practice once a week, so realistically I know I'm butting up against some hard-and-fast limitations, but at 46 (I've got you by a few ), I know I'm still quite a few years away from breaking into that "AHHH FREE TIME" period of my life For me, my current goals are to break par (lowest I've shot is a 75 +3), and then to be a sub-5 HCI While I don't foresee a Senior Tour event in my future, I would absolutely FREAK OUT if that opportunity presented itself. I do genuinely believe (which is the first step, IMO) that I can break par, and do it consistently, with more practice, so for me it's trying to figure out a way to carve more time out for that, while ALSO carving out time for kids, wife, family, work, etc. Luckily, my four-year-old has shown a real proclivity for the sport, so my HOPE is that I'll be *forced* to go with him to the course for lessons and the like What about you all? Where do you see your golf game going, in a dream world? Thanks for the great idea for a thread, @schmen082!

Oh man! I'm wondering if this stuff is available in the Quest 2 that I have - I've never actually bothered to delve too deep, mostly just hit the range and hit the course. So cool, though! Super curious about the irons being the only club where it's reading it that open. Maybe @GOLF PLUS VR (Matt) has a tip or trick as to how to dial in specific clubs? Is that even possible? I know when I was playing a bunch last year, I was seeing driver basically just slice off the planet, but my irons and wedges were VERY similar to real life. And even though - yes, my miss is a slice, it's not usually THAT pronounced, lol. It would be fun to see if you could play with shaft type / flex, etc, to dial in closer to what you / we see on-course. Can't wait to get a game going with you all!

I was just coming back to post that, too. Wow. Okay. So...the blades are definitely more attractive than the mallets, lol. WOW. (And yes, I know the irony of my playing a spaceship (and now a slightly smaller spaceship)...but ... yeah. Wow. Lol.)

Great-looking putters. Are they available in-store anywhere? Curious about the feel and roll - given what you both said.
