    +1 to this request!!!

    Also guys, if you want to get the next best thing at this point, please consider joining us for our community-organized tourney with Uneven Lies: Tough-It-Out II: The TransAtlantic Starter Clubs Uneven Open, starting this coming week. Sign up form is here.

    Although you're competing on your own, we're playing in pairings (just like in a major championship, and in order to verify playing conditions), and it would be OK with us if you choose to share info with your playing partner about lies and shots.

    We also played a version of this in our cc, that was Better Ball Pairs, a fantastic format where the 2 of us played together (with same starter equipment), and used the Chat box copiously, to describe the lies and shots (club and bs etc) as we played them. As we had someone covering our back, there was a lot less pressure, and it was only the best score on each hole that was put forward in the final reckoning. It was a great way to learn.

    If there's much interest, I'd consider running a tourney like this in the community sometime in the near-future.

    Played 'Uneven' for the 1st time yesterday,.. it was fun and quite interesting, made a change to have to think HARD about each shot instead of knowing exactly what to play..

    -2 on BB F9, not bad I thought, though some reactions were pretty wild / harsh...

    Handy for putting practice too, had to hole 3,12 ft'ers for par.

    Simple fix would be to have the Practice option for AS games. You probably wouldn't be able to see the other player's lie ,though.  :-)

    Then WGT should implement 4 ball better ball as a format, where you can indeed see the lie of  your partner, and also see the dots on you and your partners putt.

    I think this is coming. We are still working on another fine tune pass. I suspect it'll be a bit longer before it's ready.
