Today we submitted a patch to Microsoft for the Xbox One version of The Golf Club. It will most likely be available on September 22nd but could, with a following wind, be through next week. A PS4 patch should be submitted to Sony next week and then, after that, we are targeting the middle of October for an update to be available with feature tweaks and additions on all platforms. More on that later.
