  I like the uneven lies, until you miss the green and leave a short sloping lie pitch, that's when it really is a joke.

  I agree, this situation is where you get the most ridiculous outcomes. Relatively simple chip or pitch shots react like you're in the worst playable lie possible, even when you are in 20/25. They need a serious rethink on how these shots play.

  I really like the uneven lies, hopefully they'll put more ready-goes - higher stake ones and other courses, e.g. Olympic or Whistler would be particularly fun :)

  And honestly I don't get why in this one 33 (sometimes even 34) is a winning score for Tour Legends... One just needs to be careful, perhaps risk averse, avoid certain kinds of shots and not WD out of despair after bogeying a few :)

  So now the ONLY uneven lies RG is taken away. Why? It's been so popular and so rapidly filled - I hope you're going to put more of these soon... Frankly it's the only RG I've been playing regularly, these "regular" RGs with 50ish scores are definitely not for me...

  Because it was FLAWED and people like myself were loosing $$.  You would get to hole 15, then the uneven lie indicator would disappear making it impossible to judge shot. How could you carry on when the shots would still get effected by U.L but without the indicator showing the lie

  I have played quite a bit and haven't encountered any flaws as such... Of course there is quite large variability in distance and direction, especially in case of very uneven lies, but that's the part of the game - trying to avoid it and coping with it if necessary. I think it's WAY more realistic than the standard game, so I hope they'll put more of these...

  Or perhaps some top Tour Legends are just unhappy that because of variability and bad luck they get beaten by some Legends too often?... ;)

  Edit: regarding this particular bug - I read about it before (and for this reason I try to never exit the uneven lies game) and it certainly MUST be fixed. But aside from this, it's a really nice format of play...
