I had the same problems as other posters-crashed when loading.Followed advise about turning tree animation off.Crashed loading 17 th-so I moved the slider bar all the way towards performance and it worked!Now I'll back it off bit at a time.Seems strange as I'm running a relatively robust system-but what the heck-it works!

I already had the setting you suggested down, so I too had no issues what so ever... actually had to turn up the grass lol as my system could handle the high setting. any chance you will do the 2 johhny walker courses and that cherry hills too?

This course plays well on my system, i dont have all the bells, and I dont have to worry about turning things down, Plays well and looks good. thanks, keep them coming. I enjoy your courses and i know many others that do also, i have talk with them.

This is it course #1, 1st course ever by Hyno Designs, this was the learning ground for everything. The course is 4 years old, it been released 10 times, a record in itself. It was always a work in progress to get better. Than finally after walking it again, and getting the Players Yardage Book from the 2005 United States Amateur, it was able to be completed, how I wanted it. There has been great support over the seasons for this course, and I am very glad that many people of the community have enjoyed it through the years. I want to take time and thank all those people, cause that is what keep me going even during the dark times. It has been a lot of fun, and for sure one of my personal all-time favorite created course for this game. I am very glad that the course sourse, has let Hyno Designs return to this game, and I truly hope the players of this game can enjoy this course and the other courses as well.

Merion is a very compact golf course. The trees render not only on the hole you are playing but the other holes that are close to it. By my standards the course does not have a lot on it, but it is very tight. Merion does have a lot of bunkers and weed rough, very close to player......If you create a course and spread it out over a larger area than the game can handle the Tree Animations....For Example....Hole 3 on this course. , 2,4,5, 6, & 7 are no more than 30 yards from this hole at any 1 point. Please set Tree Animations Off, if that is not good enough, than start picking away at some of the other details starting with the tree settings. The Tiger Woods game uses up a lot of resources on the computer, it is up to the player, to have enough virtual memory, and not have a lot of programs running before they run this game. Many of the Auto Load programs that run when you start up the computer also eat away at the systems performance. When u run the game against other machines, those players also must have the setting correct to match their machines. This is not just for this course, but for all the courses. There is no set pattern to crashes on this course, or the game, other than the point it crashes the game and your pc can no longer handle the course. People don’t want to hear this but for each course you play, you need to customize and find the best settings for you, they are out their you just have to find them. Personally, I think for the TW Game, you should have at least a 256 Video Card, and a pretty good PC to boot. I have played about 1000 round on this course, and never really have had any issues, even ran it on a 37 inch Wide Screen HDTV LCD. I do know this, you should try to run custom courses with the Ball Cam, if you have the game set to Auto Cam, you need a pretty powerful system to run custom courses, or even some stock courses with out crashes. Please PM my account at the course source if you have any further questions. Enjoy the course.......

hi again i just turned off animated trees seems to be working ok now sorry for not reading the course notes lol lovely course thx.

Thank you for suggesting the TREE ANIMATIONS OFF! It works perfectly after making that change. I appologize for not seeing that in the designers notes. Once again, thank you for the wonderfaul courses!!!!!

I have had problems with this course in the past, but if you turn TREE ANIMATIONS OFF, everything should be fine. Their is nothing wrong with the CLS, it is the same file used on Oakmont.

Did you read the designer notes and turn off tree animations as instructed?

downloaded the course not able to play it, boots out of the game on starting up any ideas i deleted the cl file no idea other than that why it wont run.
