Just a thought...since you get penalized for landing in the fringe, fairway, etc..on top of the footage you are from the pin why not get a bonus -1 for hitting the flagstick or -5 for making it in the hole? When I do that i'm always like aww I don't get anything for that. It might just help me get in the top ten =)
I'll just have to keep trying, thanks for the game..
