Links 2001 Tournament

[Blazerman48]

I downloaded a new course from Links Corner called: Golf Club Gut Larchenhof, and every time I tried to play it, I get an exception error noting it is a Japanese version. I noticed that 2 others have also tried and it appears they were unsucessful as well as no scores are posted. It there a fix for this so we can play or not?

edit: i just searched the course list:

http://linkscorner.org/courses/index.php?SearchType=Course&SearchText=gut

and i notice there's a 2k1 & a 2k3 version.

Hi Terrell,
I noticed that as well. So to be on the safe side and assuring that I did not download the 2003 version, I downloaded the 2001 version again this morning and I still get the same error message saying it is a japanese version. I have copied the message below.

Do you get this message only during a tournament or always?

Mark

[terrell]

i vaguely remember this being a fairly common error back in the day. it may have to do with 2k1 updates:

Hi Mark,
This is the first time I have received this error message telling me it was a Japanese version. I downloaded this from Links corner, and this is the only time I have experienced a problem from a downloaded course.

Mark, This is the first time I have gotten this during any tournament. I noticed that there were 3 players in amateur without any scores listed and then 2 players in the pro with 1 player posting a score. tnbogeyman appears to be playing it, he is in the third round. I am really baffled by this. Any thoughts from your perspective? Blazerman48 (Ray)

[tnbogeyman]

I had no problem downloading course from links corner and having my scores posted!!

[Blazerman48]

I noticed that tnbogeyman, that is why I relayed to Mark that someone is able to play it on line. I really am baffled at this error message. I had no problems with the download as well. I can play the course to practice or new round, but when go online to try and play it, that's when I get the error message. The weeks over anyways, but if anyone has ever experience this type of problem, let me know how to fix it. Thanks

Would someone please enlighten me, as to why some of the courses in links2k3 when "added" to Links2k1 come up as "unknown course". I thought all *.crz courses were interchangeable.
I love LINKS2001 and enjoy playing tournaments in both venues. Why am I being LOCKED OUT

[terrell]

...I thought all *.crz courses were interchangeable...

courses created for 2k1 can be played on 2k3. courses created for 2k3 cannot be played on 2k1.
