July 07, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 80 MB

On today's episode we interview VctryLnSports, AKA Victor Lane, AKA Victory, AKA Eric. JayRayGun tries to hijack the episode but fortunately, Victor Lane had enough to say to try and drown him out.  At nearly two hours, we still didn't cover near what we wanted so we're planning on having Vctry back for a part 2 real soon. Oh yeah, and WhatAboutAmeobi is in here somewhere. Enjoy!

Today we are joined by Quinlan Roche, better known in the TGC community simply as "Q".

In episode three, WhatAboutAmeobi and JayRayGun offer up their expert (!?) opinions on what the fledgling PGA TOUR 2K course designer should and should not do when starting out on their quest to create the next, best original course. We each offer five Do's and five Don'ts so there will be plenty for you to yell about. Did we miss a good tip?
