Two quick things...
#1 Anyone up for a "low score" competition? We can all play the same course and put the difficulty on NORMAL (no mulligans). We can post screen shots of our best score over 18 holes. Just a way to have a little fun for now.
#2 I never realized that pressing the "SHOT TYPE" button during the number of players screen or course selection screen can change the difficulty for you. I had always went into the service menu to do this (LOL!).
Now I'm wondering if I'm missing some other rather obvious things in this game. Anyone else have one they would like to share? I stumbled upon my little find by mistake.

Sounds great about the comp mate. Ill be in once I get a new graphics card in machine as mine has ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- itself. I also have noticed that if u press I think it's shot type or start once shot is in play , it will speed up the shot in flight so u get through ur round much quicker. One of the buttons also will allow u to show a reply of the shot that u have just played aswell.

I went poking around within my TEAM CHALLENGE hard drive today and after having a conversation with yukonblaze I was able to change some of the music in my game. So now when I press start I have Stone Temple Pilots playing during my game select, player select, and course select screens. Pretty cool way to customize your game a bit.
I took the hard drive out of the PGA TEAM CHALLENGE computer and connected it to my desktop with a USB to IDE adapter (versus having to slave it in another enclosure) before doing any modification to the files. It was so easy to connect to my computer this way! I bought the cable from Amazon for $19.47 and it saves me a bunch of time. Here is the link in the event you want to grab one.

I took my Stone Temple Pilots mp3 and converted it over to a wav file in order to replace the wav file in the game. The wav file that is currently in the game is 24.6mb and my new file was about 45mb. Then it was time to swap my music files.
To do this I went into the "pga_tour_golf_2006" folder, then the "Shell" folder, then the "music" folder to find a wav file called "shell_music". I deleted that "shell_music" file and renamed my Stone Temple Pilots mp3 to "shell_music" and pasted it in place of the file I had just deleted. So essentially I deleted the original wav file and renamed a new wav file with the original name of the old wav file.
Now I have Stone Temple Pilots playing in my PGA Team Challenge!
If you have any questions please feel free to ask and I will help you the best that I can.

I just picked up a Championship Edition 3 game a few days ago. The game does not have the card reader (hole is covered with a plate). Everything seems to be working except for the light behind the marquee (bad starter or bulb I guess). I still need to clean the rollers/bearings on the trackball.
What is needed to upgrade this game to the Challenge version? I don't have any of the backup discs or other discs that were supposed to come with the upgrade kit when my machine was converted.
Is the game dongle a white piece of plastic that plugs into a printer port?
Thanks,
Brad

I sent you a PM. The dongle is the adapter that plugs into the printer port. Each version of PGA has its own specific dongle that is required for the game to be playable. If you would like to upgrade to "Challenge" you would need the Rescue CD and Install CDs as well as a "Challenge" version dongle. You would not be able to use your Challenge III dongle to upgrade to Challenge unfortunately.
