Greetings golf fans!
This update is mostly a post-release patch to version 1.18, which includes small fixes and QoL improvements, based on your feedback. Mostly.
However, as per the laboured pun in the sub-title, I'm happy to say that the biggest change in this update is the introduction of multiple par 5 holes across all the full size courses!
For a long time a popular request has been to add par 5 holes to the game - which were, up until now, technically unviable. When I first started this project a little over 3 years ago the initial game design only scaled to smaller holes, and the engine itself was unable to render anything bigger, for no reason other than that I had no idea just how big this project would eventually become!
Over the last few updates I've been working behind the scenes on updating the engine to allow for bigger holes and, most recently, I've been creating the holes themselves:
You may be perhaps wondering about the scoring on the updated courses (specifically courses 1, 2, 5, 7, 10 and 12) as the modified par will of course affect the overall possible score. I've decided that the best way to handle this is to archive the existing all-time leaderboards, for these courses, and create a new set.
You'll still be able to browse the old scores via the Steam client, however from the beginning of October 2024 the 6 (or 18 if you count the front 9/back 9 combos) leaderboards are effectively reset. Monthly boards are unaffected as they automatically reset at the beginning of the month anyway.
I look forward to seeing all those new scores battle it out for top position!
