I have never bought anything from IT, is it possible that the range of $5400 was just MSRP but once in the wild it will be less?
I did clarify to him that I wanted one for my home gameroom and not a business.
I also could have not heard him correctly.... I guess time will tell. I hope I heard him mistakenly and you are correct at a price entry point of $4000

Regardless, I'm looking forward to owning one.

Given inflation, supply shortages, new hardware and adding a licensing partner…I think it is very optimistic to expect the cost to be close to their prior offering.

I got tired of trying to get my old upgrade cabinet online, and grabbed a new 2021 pedestal, with a 1/04/22 mfg date- just thought it was interesting to see it now comes with a GTX 1650 card.

Yeah, they were having trouble getting quantities of the IMBM-B75 motherboard and GTX1050, so they just dropped it started using the Titan system in their Legacy cabinet builds. All cabinets built from November 2021 onward in the Legacy lineup will be fitted with Titan hardware.

Is there any info or rumors on when the 2022 courses might come out?

Late spring. End of May, I was told.

But they never hit deadlines anyway, so....

So September. Got it.

Got an e-mail recently explaining how the PGA tour will copy your guy/clubs etc from the current game. Sounds like if you're planning on playing both you should buy lots of tees now since they will duplicate any tees you have to PGA, one time only.

Funny story - I won tees during the 2019 "summer swing" contest - twice. Each time I was awarded 500 golden tees. My account has over 1000 tees now LOL

Looks like I'll get another 1000 or so in my new app too!

I am curious will the new PGA be available with a cool cabinet like the commercial one

From what I've heard, the Home Edition version of the Golden Tee PGA Tour game will look exactly like the commercial game, sans the front dollar bill acceptor. It will be available with or without the TV/stand.

Cool.....Thx

More often than not lately I'll start a game, select the player count, choose "online" and the "event" option is blacked out, not allowing it to be selected. I've backed out and gone back in before, and recall maybe one time it then appeared, but that doesn't seem to work any more.

Is this something anyone else experiences?

I get this after I first start my machine. If you go into the operator menu there is an option to connect to I.T and verify the connection, this usually fixes it.

Ah that absolutely is it. I normally power up and start playing right away. I tried your advice and it worked first time. Thank you!! Wasn't thinking that, since the other online elements worked. Awesome!

Thank you

Thanks @smalltownguy2.

Chris, I’ll follow up with you shortly about Golden Tee. Thank you.

I finally managed to break the house record for Forest Knoll this weekend. Managed a -24. It took a good set of tee box locations as well as this fluke. I probably could have managed a -26 if I had hit everything just right but I birdied a couple I should have eagle'd.

Was excited to see this preview pop up on another forum. I hope there will be a way for us home edition folks to have this in a cabinet with Live, but I mean... A man can dream. Great to see Target Toss again.

I like your character's name;

I've seen in the Facebook group that it is indeed on the way.

I really just want Power Putt. My buddies and I getting drunk at a BWW's and playing Power Putt is such a great memory of mine.

Beyond that, I feel like my wife would enjoy Power Putt a LOT more than Golden Tee.

I need this!!! I didn't start collecting games until after Target Toss was delisted. Now's my chance again!!

You’re selling bags short. Excellent rawtalk and highly competitive.

I wish they did a 4 in 1 for home. I don’t have the room for another machine.

There's already plenty of ways to run 4 games in your cabinet. Feel free to PM me for options.

I have a disk image of power putt that works on my golden tee system. When I got mine it had a switcher in it and you just hit the button and boot it back up and it switches between Golden Tee and Power Putt. It's offline but if you really want to play that's the way to do it until you can get this new machine.

Power putt was a huge hit with people who came over. 4 player with raw talk was a lot of fun.

Bowling and Power Putt weren’t a huge issue.

It was bags that was a pain in the ass and limiting everything to 720p.

Having all 3, 1080p, 60fps, working on late model video cards, it’s a nice upgrade.

Just probably not worth the price.

BTW, how much is this thing?

$1300 for the game kit with only a control panel sticker, $1400 for a game kit with a wood control panel included (that fits on on the OEM showpiece pedestals)

Where are you seeing these prices? Ive looked at quite a few distributors over the last few weeks and see no mention of this game yet.

The reason you're not seeing prices is because the kit is not being offered for sale to anyone but "authorized operators" yet. They are in limited supply, so I.T. is only sending them to operators who they consider to be "authorized."

(read: have many online games in the field, and are making I.T. money on a regular basis.)

Those of us plebians in the Home Edition machine market are going to have to wait quite a while before we can get our hands on this kit.

Ok got it, thanks for the info. I have a 2015 cabinet. That going to be ok for the KIT?

https://amusement.itsgames.com/downloads/manuals/AC_Hardware_Compatibility_Guide.pdf

Do you know or think this will be online, or offline only?

Wondering if anyone has an extra newer (2015 forward) working setup that was removed from a cabinet they would like to sell? Basically a complete working golf computer, CID, I/O board, and wiring harness.

I have a custom built pedestal that I play the old PGA team challenge with, and would love to add a golden tee as well into the same cabinet

Message me if you do.

Thanks!

That’s a LOT cheaper than I thought it was gunna be.

At that price, most people like at least two of those games (different for everyone) I think that’s an excellent value.

I think there will be online capability, but I think it's only going to be for commercial operators to collect money for games that are set to money play. But I could be wrong.

I've never actually seen any of the 3 games in the wild, so as a GT fan I'm definitely curious.

So does the kit only let you replace an old system or can it some how be added to a new Golden tee. Really want all 4 games in one cab.

The kit stands alone as a 3-in-1. If you want to play golf with it too, you'll need some kind of switching mechanism.

Have 3 GT Live 2021 dedicated commercial pedestal units with monitors. Operated, well maintained, swapped out for PGA'S. Suitable for home use, or certainly, to plop right out on a route as they sit! No fire sale but certainly fair on price, based on auction sales, in the last 3 months. $3800 per rig.

Anyone check out the new courses announced this week?

No pic yet on Hollywood Hills.

Seems like I've been playing the 2021 courses for longer than 1.5 years!

Yeah those new courses sound neat, I can't wait to see some gameplay and get a chance to play them.

I feel like I know every inch of the 2021 courses lol.

I've managed a -23 on the 2021 courses this month except Hidden Temple. I feel like I need something new to shake it up

I'm on a serious roll right now. Definitely my best month for the world ranking.

IT got back to me with an email and said I would lose Golden Tee Golf If I kitted out my cabinet.

Only if you don't know what you're doing

Welp! that would be me!

You just have to avoid going online with the same CID right? Is that new cabinet with the multi game even going to support online modes?
