2019 Edition Features
Quick-play options for simulating
rounds include the following:
-
Normal - Full detail. Pause and join
at any time.
-
Faster - Full detail, but in a
simulation order that minimizes load times. Rounds play 20-30%
faster but can’t be paused or joined in progress.
-
Fastest - Using a simplified
simulation model, rounds play 80% faster but can’t be joined in
progress. This mode still includes full statistical tracking.
Improved physics for bounce, roll,
and spin, and better interactions with sloping terrain.
Improved wind effects, including its
effect on ball flight and the visual depiction of that ball flight.
Redesigned optional swing meter
system with 4-click swing control. Using the swing meter is an
alternate way to play the game, which allows the user some impact on
the execution of the shot, while still factoring golfer ratings.
Using the redesigned meter, you’ll click to set power, click again
for accuracy, and a third time for contact (fat or thin shots). The
importance and effect of contact depends on the type of shot, the
lie, and golfer’s ability. A normal approach from the fairway is
forgiving, but an approach from a fairway bunker needs to be struck
precisely. Around the greens, the meter shows the distance the ball
will carry in normal conditions on pitch, lob, and flop shots; and
the total distance for running chip shots. It’s up to the user to
alter the swing length to account for lies, sloping terrain, and
course conditions.
Improved visual styles on forms
throughout the game give the game a cleaner, more attractive look.
Option to add course descriptions and
clubhouse photos that appear on the redesigned course select screen.
New quick links to reports added to
the opening screen, including buttons to quickly configure the
opening screen leaderboards for various statistical categories
including driving, approach, putting, rankings, and more). Country
flags are now also displayed on the opening screen.
Option to preview and edit tournament
pairings before each round.
Improved handling of
divot lies in
the fairway and buried lies in the sand. Balls have a greater chance
of burying in bunkers if they impact at a steep angle. Spin
adjustments are no longer allowed when playing from a divot, and the
shot may react unpredictably.
Player ratings are color coded
according to their percentile within the season file. An option in
the season preferences allows you to set the number of players to
compare against. For example, ratings can be color coded by
percentile relative to the top 100, rather than the entire season
file.
Option to hide the putt result
percentages. With percentages hidden, putting is no longer a numbers
game. You’ll need to consider the break of the putt, green speeds,
and round context when deciding on a strategy.
Improved ball markers during gameplay
include the player’s name and number of shots played, as well as a
golfer picture (pictures not included).
Tournament summaries now show
hole-by-hole totals for the entire tournament.
Support for the new Tour Championship
format, in which players are assigned a starting score according to
their cup ranking. This option can be enabled in the season
preferences, and is enabled by default in the included 2018-19
season.
Two new historical course layouts for
“Magnolia Golf Club” featuring brand new imagery. One is modeled
after the 1986 layout, and is appropriate for use in tournaments
prior to 2002. The other is based on the 2002 layout, and can be
used in tournaments from 2002-2010.

decade which include both official course releases and community
designed courses. To import one of these schedules, choose
“Tools/Schedules/Import” from the opening game screen.

About Action! PC Golf
Gameplay
Play rounds of golf as or against your favorite golfers from past
and present. Rounds are played on championship courses using
stunning, high resolution, aerial imagery. Plan your shots by
choosing your club, your swing power, draw or fade, high shot or
punch shot, and more. Then watch your golfer execute the shot
according to his abilities with remarkable statistical accuracy. Or,
take control of the swing itself with the optional three-click swing
meter. Detailed course conditions make the course play differently
every round. Green speed, rough length, course firmness, wind,
temperature, sky condition, and elevation all must be accounted for
on every shot. Conditions even change dynamically throughout
tournament rounds. You can even download current real world weather
conditions.
Tournaments
Play individual tournaments or complete tour seasons with detailed
stat tracking. Tournaments can be created and edited to create your
ideal season schedule. Major championships, playoff formats and tour
championships, exhibitions, and qualifying events are all available.
Control or watch any golfers during tournament rounds, or take your
favorite golfer through a complete season and beyond. Detailed
leaderboards, statistics, and highlights make following the latest
happenings exciting and immersive.
Team Events
Team events with up to 12 players per team, can be customized for
the number of sessions and participants in each, including singles
match play, alternate shot, and best ball formats. Templates are
included for many of the common team formats.
Match Play Tournaments
Create match play brackets with any number of golfers from four to
256, with rounds from single elimination to best of nine matches.
Final Round Scenarios
Jump right into the final round of a real-world tournament and
control any golfer. Over 100 historical scenarios are built in,
including the final round leaderboard and course conditions. It’s
easy to create your own scenarios, too.
Team Rounds
This unique format has two teams face off against each other in a
single round, where a different team member hits each shot. The
rules can be customized in many ways. For example, you can
set a lineup order of golfers, or pick a golfer for
each shot. Optionally seet a limit on the number of times a single golfer
can be used. This format provides a level of managerial strategy you
likely haven’t seen before in golf. Stats and standings are kept for
these matchups.
Statistics
Even when golfers are computer controlled and “autoplayed,” the
shots are played out in the same level of detail as your human
controlled golfers. The game AI must make the same decisions, and is
subject to the same considerations. Detailed statistics are tracked
including world rankings, cup points, money, and more. All standard statistics like driving accuracy and greens in regulation
are kept, as well as more detailed stats like proximity to the hole
from various distances, putting by distance, three putt streaks, and
more. Results from past tournaments can also be viewed from each
player form. Click the event name to view the leaderboard, click a
score to view the scorecard, and click a hole to view shot by shot
results for that hole. Hole by hole course stats are also compiled
for every tournament round. Additionally, all time and season
records are kept, as well as replays of great shots hit by computer
or human golfers. These replays can be searched and sorted. Want to
find the replays for every hole in one on your tour? How about the
longest hole-out made, or every great shot on a certain par three?
Season Tools
Action! PC Golf includes tools for creating and editing golfer and
seasons. All ratings and attributes can be customized. Golfers can
also be imported between seasons to set up cross-era matchups.
Courses
Courses use high resolution aerial imagery, or our own graphical
style. Additional layouts can be created and customized, including
tee and pin locations, and par. It’s also possible to create new
courses using holes from existing courses.
