One of the most exciting things about being the community manager of Vertiginous Golf is that I never know what to expect from Paul and Christian when it comes to updates. They mentioned that they had a new hole type that they wanted to road test, but I didn't know what it was going to entail. It arrived in the office yesterday, and now it's one of my new favourite features!
The whole idea behind the Median course type is that it will be easier to navigate then the Classic courses, but you lose access to your Chipping club. As someone who likes to hit long shots into the air, that really messed up my strategies.
Also, look at that beautiful rolling green awaiting you at the end of the course. It's really quite stunning! As usual, we look forward to seeing you all posting scores on the leaderboards. A new board for the new hole will be coming soon after we're sure we don't need to tweak the course. So start practising!
You will find the changelog below for this update. Give us some feedback on the new hole type in the official discussion. You can expect another new course type to arrive next week, and then we'll open up a vote to see which holes we should fast track over the next month or so. - Heller
