Ok somewhere I had read a post that addressed the issue of eliminating the long delays between holes. Something about changing a file in the "confidence" folder. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Thanx.

My personal rule for putting: If it looks straight, shoot it straight- 7 times out of 10, itll go in. However if there is any contour at all- screw it, itll be a 2 putt Par :D

Go to My Documents/Tiger Woods/Career/Your player's name/Confidence

You will see a holetype.tcn and shottype.tcn. Delete the holetype.tcn.

Play a round (or a hole) in the game.

Go back to the same location and right click the (much smaller now) holetype.tcn. Check the read-only box and apply.

Is this solution just for dual core users..or does this work for most people experiencing long delays? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

it has nothing to do with the cpu

its game file that keeps getting bigger as you play, resulting in slowdown of play

other reasons for delays/slowness could be an underpowered cpu, underpowered video card/video card settings too high (;especially grass setting)

try it and see if it helps

Yes...this will help for all TW08 players:

On desktop you will see folder: My documents........
inside look for: Tiger woods PGA tour 2008....and inside go to folder: Career.
Inside Career go to folder: Players.......and inside look for your playersname folder.
Now you will see folder: Confidence.....and inside you will find files:
Hole Type.tcn......and.....Shot type.tcn
Now right click both files ( hole.tcn +Shot type.tcn) and delete both files.
When you did this: restart TW08 game and play 1 hole on any course and close TW08 game.
Go back to same confidence folder and you will see both files are regenerated: but now they are very small size ( 85kb or something like that) Now right click both files ( Type.tcn......and.....Shot type.tcn) and choose : Properties....and check box: READ ONLY. Do this for both files.
