  I have noticed playing stroke tournaments the stroke count goes up 1 counting 3 as 4 or 4 as 5. This game cheats on stroke facdtors very bad and now is not counting strokes correctly. I just hit 2 holes for 3s birbys only to have WGT score them as 4s par, this really sucks!

  So that eagle you made at St. Andrews was really an albatross was it?

  (3 shots count as 4)

  That would make believe that there is a Par 6 where 4 is an eagle.

  Or a flexi-Par hole like this one in Tunisia:

  Close to the end of a good day, we came to a long hole (*). My caddie asked what would be his reward for a birdie, i might be able to play the first of the day?
  I announced 5 Denar to him. I hit a nice drive, though a wee bit leftish into the 1st cut. Then I saw the benefit of this hole, easing it remarkably: The second shot was over a hill and might roll down quite a bit towards the hole, leaving a fair birdie chance. Alas, I choked from the rough, missed the green and two-putted for a six.

  My caddie advanced to me cheering: "Birdie! This is a Par 7!" (sic!)

  (*) Hammamet, Les Oliviers #15, Par 5, 498 yds.

  I dont have 3 accts I only play 1. SMARTASS!

  For all with incredilus replys,  the game scored a 3stroke hole as 4 strokes. I was not , see above name calling, smoking weed. This has happened more than once, I thought it was my error,  that I was not paying attention, but I saw it clearly .

  Hmm only two friends both from the US. One started May 2, 2010. Another a hack that's never played and you are the only friend Started Oct 30. 2010  and this account started Oct 10, 2010. That's pretty darn coincidental.

  Yes when one posts preposterously then one is usually met with incredulous responses.

  You know I really dont understand why you critizise my game situation , why it matters where friends are from ect, over a simple staterment.

    I havent found any  friends on WGT only the 2 that ask  ,and I accecpted , but they never played any games ect.. I am not a good golfer but like to play . Every game I played with others never finished, people just left or took forever to shoot ect.  I am open to people from anywhere in the world. Just sorry I chose such a stupid name LoL.
