I stop by my parents place every evening for an hour or so and play 18 holes of Tiger Woods PGA 14 on the PS3 with my dad. Been doing this for years now. We play "offline" with our own custom characters. (We always play offline and never use the PGA Tour golfers that came with the game.) One display, one PS3, two controllers. We start a practice round, select a course, select a game type, select our custom players, check our controller assignments on the controllers themselves updating the controller assignment for our custom players in-game to match (by hitting the triangle button) and away we go. No announcers, no fans, no player reaction after each shot, all that garbage is turned off. It's pure bliss. I was going to purchase a PS5 for my dad along with PGA Tour 2023, but if we can't continue the tradition I've described here there's absolutely no point. We'll just continue playing Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2014.
@cds1834I like how you and your father setup your matches. I was going to suggest you try and find a copy of 2K PGA 2019 or one of the original The Golf Club games. They play at a more relaxed pace, where it seems you are on a course on a Sunday morning.
But then I realized your still using a PS3. If you ever do get a PS4 or PS5 I would recommend one of the older games in The Golf Club series maybe 2K2019... it should be cheap to purchase so even if it isn't your cup of tea there isn't a large cost involved.
The games have a large set of options to disable making for a pretty configurable environment.
And if you or your father are struggling with the swing timing... you can always reduce the difficulty to suit or completely turn it off.
