Popular Post GolfSpy_APH Posted July 16 Popular Post Share Posted July 16 Continuing our trend of bringing varied opportunities to the MyGolfSpy Forum community, we have one that brings the golf course and your game to your living room with GOLF+ and the world of virtual golf. About GOLF+ GOLF+ is the official VR golf game of the PGA Tour. Take a stroll through St Andrews, test your game at Pinehurst No. 2 or immerse yourself in the raucous excitement of the 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale. GOLF+ offers daily tournaments, a variety of multiplayer modes, 20 different real-world courses (and counting) and physics engineered by tens of thousands of real-world swings. GOLF+ is built BY golfers, for golfers. The Testing Opportunity We are searching for three golfers to test and review the full GOLF+ experience. GOLF+ is available exclusively on the Meta Quest platform. Don’t have a headset? Not to worry. Testers will receive a Meta Quest 3 headset as well as a golf club controller attachment to bring the game to life. For this testing opportunity, we want golfers to not only review the product and its features but also to compete against each other in tournaments and matches with members of the GOLF+ team. We want to know how this virtual experience compares to your real-life experience. Can it take the place of a weekly round if the weather isn’t cooperating? Can it help provide accurate feedback on your swing and even improve your game? The final portion of this testing opportunity includes the GOLF+ TOUR where our testers will compete with the rest of the GOLF+ community to see where they stack up. Please welcome and congratulate our testers! @GregGarner @mynerds @Fongle Nunfa0, Dweed, GregGarner and 8 others 5 1 3 2 Quote as of Nov 6, 2023 (Past WITB) Driver: Paradym TD w/ GD ADDI 6X Driver Shootout!

mynerds Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) Hello! Mynerds here! I’m a lefty golfer who is otherwise right-hand dominant, though my play-style is not influenced by anyone named Phil. I work in cybersecurity and live in Illinois with my wife, daughter, and dog: I’ve found great joy in meticulously testing and writing about golf gadgets since joining the forum in 2022 and am extremely excited for this latest opportunity. I’ve been playing golf casually on and off since 2008, but only started playing intentionally over the last four years. I play in the greater Chicago area, known for its incredible golfing weather… 7 months each year. I enjoy experimenting with different ways to enjoy the game in the off season including Top Golf, Trackman rental time, or Mevo+ use at home. I’m a life-long tech enthusiast and a long-time player of golf video games, so this test touches many of my interests. To my fellow gamers, I firmly believe the peak of golf gaming was Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 with motion plus on the Wii and hope GOLF+ at least matches that experience. To my fellow sim users, I’ll assess how GOLF+ compares to use of an indoor launch monitor and whether it can complement or fully replace sim use. To my fellow tech enthusiasts, rest assured that there is at least one nerd in the house (pun intended). Here are some specific areas of interest: Meta Quest 3, GOLF+, and Golf Club Accessory Analysis This test, while focused on GOLF+, includes three distinct elements: the VR platform, the game, and the club accessory. While each contributes to the overall experience, I’ve focused on the game experience itself. Ease of Setup and Use Just because I’m a tech enthusiast doesn’t mean potential buyers will be too. I’m confident I will navigate issues in the set up and use of the product, but are there any moments that fail the “could my mom make this work?” litmus tests? I will be looking to see if there are specialized skills and equipment to make the most of the experience. Downloadable Content (DLC) and Total Cost of Ownership In years past, DLCs were optional add-ons like cosmetics or original soundtracks to enhance an already-complete game experience. Some games have shifted to a DLC-driven monetization model where the base game is a barebones experience while the “full” game requires additional purchases at significant cost. Are additional DLC purchases practically required for GOLF+? We’ll find out together! Compatibility and adaptability Finally, we all come in various shapes and sizes. Whether you’re on the right or wrong side of the ball; scratch golfer or high handicap; young, old or in-between; playing in a garage, bedroom, or low-clearance basement; the experience should work for all of us. I’ll be including some friends and family in my tests to see if there is consensus in our experiences. First Impressions (9 out of 10) Here are my key first impressions for someone who may be looking at purchasing a Quest 3 specifically to play GOLF+. VR technology has advanced significantly, even from the launch of the then-revolutionary Oculus Rift. If you’re new to VR or haven’t tried the latest gear, you’re in for a real treat. As nice as the stock controller is, do yourself a favor and get a controller club accessory to enhance your experience. Here are the third-party controller accessories currently supported in GOLF+: The stock Quest 3 head strap is uncomfortable at best. Specifically, the plastic nubs on the back of the strap dig into your head. Highly recommend getting an aftermarket comfort strap: Setting up the Quest was not the easiest of experiences. If you don’t fancy yourself tech-literate, consider enlisting some assistance. As for the GOLF+ experience, my first impression was “Woah.” That’s my first impression. An audible “woah.” Setup is a breeze (recording below) and you’re immediately immersed in the VR golf experience. Out of the box, the game is accurate to my faults. This is probably one of the few areas where GOLF+ makes a claim that we can test - “Accurate physics models that make you feel like you’re really on the course.” I’d say this is mostly accurate and my bad hits in VR fly exactly as they would in real life. The one lowlight out of the box is the chipping experience. Of my entire game, I am most confident with my pitching and sand wedges. Where I can feel the difference between 10-, 25-, 50-, 75-, and 100-yard shots in real life, I get WILDLY different outcomes in GOLF+. In the practice range, I will try a 25-yard shot and occasionally flop it 10 yards or smash it for 50. Minus a point from the first impressions for the high variability in wedge play here. Aesthetics (8 out of 10) Despite not being hyper-realistic, the immersion created from the first-person point of view is incredible. As I mentioned before, I’m a long-time golfing gamer. Games are typically played in the third person looking down the line of your intended shot. Standing over the ball and lining up your virtual shot like you would in real life immediately makes the game feel special. Club customization is available and does not affect game play. However, you’re out of luck if you want something other than Callaway, Taylormade, or PXG clubs. Additional OEM options would heighten the immersion for me. Last, there is a strange flashing visual when using the colored sand wedges. This makes the clubs distracting to use, especially the copper wedge which ends up reflecting a deep blue: Minus one each for limited club customization OEMs and odd lighting on the non-chrome club faces. The Numbers (20 out of 20) Let’s talk about two numbers here: in game distances and pricing. For distance: The game won’t be accurate to your actual distances out of the box, but it is possible to tune your clubs to match real-life performance. However, unless you’re an absolute monster off the tee, playing your real distances will severely hamper your scores in tournament modes where you are forced to play from the tips. On pricing: The base game costs $29.99 (before discount). At the time of this post, there are 30 “Add-on” courses and bundle on the Meta store for GOLF+. Prices for individual courses range from $3.99 to $14.99 with discounts available through various bundle pricing. Additionally, there is a GOLF+ Pass subscription priced at $9.99/mo or $79.99/year which grants offline access to all GOLF+ courses. The add-on courses can be played in multiplayer mode, or on random availability through tournament or quickplay modes. The advantage of owning access to a course is to play single-player mode with your specific preferred tee, wind, green, and pin settings. You’re looking at spending a little more than ~$200 to buy all of the bundles and the unbundled courses. Three new courses were released during the test, so expect more to be added as time goes on. Quite frankly, if access to these courses through multiplayer, tournament, or quick-play modes isn't enough, just buy the GOLF+Pass subscription and you’ll probably save money. If you plan on subscribing for more than 21 months in a row, consider purchasing the courses. Players can also purchase in-game credits to obtain different club head, shaft, and grip designs. These are optional, don’t affect gameplay, and you can earn sufficient credits by playing the game itself. No issues from me in this category! On-Course (10 out of 20) I’m using this category to examine how the VR experience translates to changes on-course in real life. I love putting in real life, but I am awful at reading greens. The game allows you to visually see slopes but also gives you the option to display detailed slope topography maps by pressing the appropriate button on the controller, or lifting the club into the air (or squatting as you might in real life). I really like this feature and it has improved my ability to judge breaks on the green. I am also significantly better at estimating putt distances since your distance-to-pin is always displayed in game. Overall, my distance control is greatly improved. Even so, I was sad to report my worst round of the year after exclusively playing VR on Amateur mode for a few weeks. My shot was completely off with an out-to-in path more severe than it has been in years. My armlock mallet felt like swinging a boat anchor into a brick. I was able to correct some of my swing faults by switching to Pro mode (and punish some of my bad habits in VR) as well as leave significant time to practice before any real-life rounds. Still, a scary thought that extensive virtual play could jeopardize your real game. Minus 10 for VR potentially contributing to swing faults. The Good, the bad, the inbetween (15 out of 20) Lightning round here: I typically spent ~30 minutes playing a full 18. That's substantially faster than real life but budget your video game time accordingly. Multiplayer is a great socialization experience, and I played a few matches with other spies. Just like on the course, it’s great to bounce ideas off others and share in the ups and downs of your round. I could easily see MGS scheduling virtual events for members to play with each other, or a VR-only flight in the VCT. Scramble mode is a great addition and lends itself to even more socialization (or trash talk ). The gamified practice is fun and engaging. Again, I needed to be careful to not develop swing faults by practicing too much though. The one exception was putting practice which helped me improve in real life. If you can't tell, I love the ability to replay and share videos of my best and worst shots. Again, many game features lean into the socialization experience here. Swing analyzer is helpful to see the details of what might be going on in your VR swing, but it doesn’t exactly match what you might see with a real club. Your mileage may vary depending on your specific swing and VR accessories. Battery life in multiplayer is abysmal. You'll be lucky to get through an entire round. Consider purchasing an external battery pack or long USB cable if you play with others frequently. Minus two each for the gamified practice developing swing faults for driver through wedges, and for the swing analyzer being potentially misleading for those trying to use GOLF+ as a training aid. Minus one for the poor battery life in multiplayer mode. Play it or Trade it? (20 out of 20) Despite the potential risk of developing swing faults, there’s no chance I’m trading this. If I was someone who already had a VR headset, GOLF+ would be an immediate recommendation at $29.99. If I didn't have a VR headset but I was interested in other VR games, I’d recommend the investment in a headset and games. If GOLF+ is the only reason you want VR, I'd think about spending the total money on a DIY simulator instead. Conclusion At the end of the day, GOLF+ is a game. It won’t replace time in the simulator. It won’t replace reps at the range. I believe it can, if treated correctly, help with putting and distance estimation for “feel” players. It’s a fantastic avenue to socialize with friends, especially those far away. It’s a great way to familiarize yourself with a course before a televised match. It’s just fun. It’s the best golfing video game I’ve ever played. Sorry Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10.

GregGarner Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) Let's get this party started! I'm Greg and I'm a former collegiate golfer that is still trying to enjoy some competition here and there, but mostly just enjoying the grind of a sport that can never be perfected. My wife and I live in Durham, North Carolina with a 17-year old that came to us through the foster care system. I play as often as she lets me, which is a couple times per week. The other thing that is important to know about me for this test, is that I recently completed a PhD from NC State's College of Design (Go Pack!) and my dissertation was about... wait for it... improving VR designs through collecting quality feedback. Soooooo... yeah. Time to put my money where my mouth is, I suppose. Perhaps surprisingly, I'm not a gamer. I don't own a gaming system and haven't for nearly 20 years. I had a Wii in college and played a lot of Wii Golf. But that's about it. The 17 year old, however, is on his Switch basically 10 hours/day, so we'll see if he takes to the Quest. While I may not be as much of a gamer, I'm fairly tech-minded, so I'm not concerned about any technological hiccups, but I will have a pretty keen eye towards the user experience (UX). Let's get started and (hopefully) play some good golf!

Fongle Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) G'day Spies! My name is Toby, and this is now my second official test for MyGolfSpy, and also my second test of a tech product, with my previous one being the Hackmotion Training System last year (Link here), and I'm super excited and thankful to both the MGS team and GOLF+ for being able to test this one out. Things have changed a bit for me since my last review, I still live and work in Brisbane, Australia, but I've upgraded my eternally patient fiancée to wife status, we've bought a house, and I've got (slightly) better at chipping the ball and have shaved a couple of strokes off my handicap. I've been golf-mad since I was 7, and was scratch when I was younger, but I'd had a serious knee injury that had stopped me from playing until I had surgery a few years ago, and I've been back into the game I love with full force ever since. I'm also a lifelong gaming nerd, and I've been playing golf games dating back to PGA Tour '98 on the PS1. And with the deepest respect to my fellow tester @mynerds, Tiger Woods 2004 was the peak of golf gaming, but I'm willing to settle this dispute in the virtual courses ahead of us. I tend to play at least once a week, and often use my Garmin R10 in the backyard with my iPad to play virtual courses and practice, and also play Sim golf at a few different venues quite often with friends. My goal for testing is to assess the viability of the GOLF+ game, along with the Meta Quest 3 headset, and the golf club accessory, as a replacement for playing either real golf, or sim golf. I plan to be able to test and provide feedback on each of the 3 elements, both in how they perform individually, and as a package, looking especially at how the experience performs as a golf replacement, the comfort of playing a long session wearing a headset, and how my game translates to the virtual world. I'm very interested to see if this setup is going to show my natural shot shapes, and how natural it feels overall. I'm also planning at being able to give a comparison on how the game works with just the base starter package, and with the full package with all courses unlocked, as there looks to be quite a lot left out of the base game, and needing to pay for individual components or a subscription pass service in games these days is definitely not an industry trend I'm a fan of. With part of the test also being the competitive aspect, I'm also wanting to test out how easy this is to set up and start, how convenient and fast it is to play a round, how balanced the matchmaking is, and whether or not this can scratch my competitive itch by providing a full golf experience.

mynerds Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Thanks to MGS and GOLF+ for this opportunity! I could not be more grateful or excited for this test. We’ve had three tornados roll through our area in the last two days, so extreme inclement weather looks like our new norm. Adding that to Chicago’s infamously mild winters </s> make VR golf an intriguing prospect as an alternate way to enjoy the game. Thanks again MGS and GOLF+!

Coulter Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Congratulations testers! This is a really interesting 1 to me as I think it would be the only way I could get my wife into golf. Hopefully it’s as good as advertised!

When I’m playing to keep score I typically play the Maxfli Tour X. When just getting a round in with friends or scrambling I play whatever I might find on the course or might find at the bottom of my bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William P Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Congrats testers! Looking forward to hearing about this one as I am intrigued by VR but haven't taken the plunge yet. Maybe this is the one that puts me over the top to purchase?
