I thought I read somewhere here that there was a way to possibly speed up the rendering between holes to get by the scorecard. I thought I saw it last night but today am having problems finding it. Hope I wasnt hallucinating. I seem to have to wait a very long time compared to others I play with between holes. I do have a pentium 4 processor running 3Ghz and thought I had plenty of processor. I also have 2GB Ram available. Is there something else I need or can do? Thanks for any help.

1....Hi.....when you start playing TW08 game, it is important to know there is a bug in the game:
When you played some courses you will see the loading times between holes are increasing, the game will become slower and slower.
Do next steps to solve the problem:

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.

2.....Another problem is the big sized shot distance display in game.
There is a very good download on site to make the shot distance display smaller:
Above shoutbox look for: Utilities....inside look in section: Game display.
And inside Game display you will find download file: Shot distance display-small text.

3....When you want very nice water with TW08 custom courses:
Start TW08 game......go to: Options.......Graphics:.....and set: Shader level: MEDIUM

4....When you want nice buildings with TW08 custom courses:
Start TW08 game......go to: Options.......Graphics:.....and set: Shader level: LOW
