RECORDED ROUNDS BANK
On this page you can download or upload recorded rounds that can be played against. The available rounds are broken into three categories. In the first category you will find the top rounds by the best cyber golfers. The middle category offers the very competitive rounds, while the third category will list the rounds to challenge the players of an average or lesser ability.
Any GBC player can send me the rounds they want to be published, but please be mindful of the rules stated below.
DOWNLOADING FILES
Download the file and unzip it to your GBC/SAVED FILES folder. When you want to play click on GOLFERS and scroll down to recorded golfers. The file you have just downloaded will appear at the bottom, highlight it and click on ADD GOLFER. Set the same pin number as in the recorded golfer's file, add your own player and off you go!
If you download more files from the same course I suggest that you unzip them in a separate folder and move them to GBC/SAVED FILES one at the time. Note that the pin number and the conditions are encoded in the file name, according to the formula explained below.
UPLOADING FILES
1. The files have to be zipped (otherwise my server would not allow the downloads).
2. Name the .zip file coursename_category.zip
Example: augusta_c1.zip
3. The file inside should be named according to this formula:
coursename-yourgolfername_pinNo_conditions_category.round
Example: Citadel-Voyen_P4_medium_c2.round
4. Under no circumstances should you leave any other clues as to the final score, this would spoil all the human player's fun!
5. Mail the zipped file (files)
All this calls for a more detailed explanation.
The name of the .zip file should be in lower case and simple, but understandable. Most courses can be identified with a single word, but in same cases (like Muirfield and Muirfied Village) you might have to elaborate.
The course name and the name of your golfer would be automatically entered by the game while you're saving your round. You don't need to change that, unless you want to change the name of your golfer for reasons of identification. However, bear in mind that in the game the round is still going to appear under your original golfer's name.
Adding the pin number is essential, so that people know how to set up the game. The conditions are not going to affect the recorded golfers performance, it is nevertheless only fair to your recorded golfer's human opponent to play under the same conditions under which the round was recorded.
The stated level will give the human player a clue as far as the recorded player's ability is concerned. Not everyone would want to play against the top players, therefore I have broken it into 3 categories:
C1 - The top players' rounds. It could perhaps be a score in mid to high 50's shot in calm wind on an easy course, or a score in the low 60's attained on a more difficult course, but maybe even a 66 -68 shot in strong wind or a par round shot in gusty winds on a tough course - just use your own judgment here.
C2 - A very solid round. It may be for instance a score in mid to high 60's shot on an average course with calm or medium winds, or a score around par under heavier conditions.
C3 - Anything that might challenge a player of an average or lesser ability.
