Re: Could not save replay of Eagle in tournament!

  I made an eagle shot from the fairway in a tournament, had a replay of it, but I could not save it to my profile.  It was a beautiful shot that I would have liked to watch again, as well as show to others.

  Is there a reason why I could not save the replay?

  There is a limit to the number of replays that you can save (by regular means) on your Profile page - I think that is 10 replays. To save additional replays you can select the "Share" option on the replay & send the replay to your own email. There is a way to get it back onto your Profile page  but I do not remember what it is. Suggest that you look in the Search Box over here >>>>>>>>>>>

  You must have fewer than 10 saved replays on your Profile page.

  If you have 10, you have the opportunity to delete 1 to make room for a new replay.

  An alternative is to Share the replay to your email account rather than to your profile, and then add the replay to a Profile page blog entry.

  Or you can click on the Copy tab and then add the replay (paste) to a Profile page blog entry after the round.

  What happened when you tried? Did you sign up through Facebook?

  No, I did not sign up through Facebook, I use my member name and password to log in.

  Thank you for the comments and suggestions of using the share feature to have the link e-mailed to me.  I will look into that in the future, because you are correct, you may only save 10 on your profile page.

  Here is a brief description of what took place.

  Tournament so I'm the only user.  I made the shot and WGT showed the replay, I immediately hit the Menu option to save but the option was not available.  Then of course it directed me to the next hole.  I went to the Menu again, but I was not able to view last shot, or last replay to save it.

  Very sad, I don't make incredible shots like that often enough! 

  I'll double check the FAQ's on saving a shot, but I've never had this problem before when saving a replay.

  Normally when you want to save a replay of a shot you do it through the menu, either saving it from the 'viewing the replay' option if you are playing on your own or from the 'save replay of last shot' option from the menu if you are in a group.

  But, as you holed out your shot, after the instant replay was shown the scorecard would have come up which should have had the option to either save your last shot or view it (can't remember which) but you would have been able to save it from either of those two options.

  Unfortunately, once you move onto the next hole, the opportunity to save your previous shot is lost.

  There is where I made the mistake.  I'll have to pay closer attention to that score card.  Instead I moved to the next shot, where as you said, there is nothing that I can do.

  Thank you all for your assistance!

  I wish I'd have known about this last night. LOL. I thought MP was like AS where you had until your next turn to save a replay. Missed saving an impossible putt on #7 on BO4s-that insane putt you have when you go too long. Thought I was OK until the next menu and learned the hard way.  :-(

  It surprises me that you didn't know that Jim as you seem to have a good grasp of most things about WGT.

  Meh, just stuff I experience. Not a big shot saver but that putt turned an important match around and the CC would have liked it.
