    Thanks alosso, I found it.  Given such an important tournament I would have thought it was the least been on the WGT news page where you can see it when you 1st log onto the site.

    But more importantly, they have the hour that you are talking about anyway, and I quote the rules for the championship, the phrase talking about the 2nd round:

    "between 1:00 am PT July 5th, 2015 and 11:59 pm PT July 8th, 2015 (“Round 2”), and playing and completing the 18-hole stroke play game between 1:00 am PT July 5th, 2015 and 11:59 pm PT July 8th, 2015."

    Note the round finishes at 11:59 PT and the next round, starts at 1 AM PT.

    What is interesting and I will take this up with WGT, the round actually finished at 11.59 PM PDT, that is Pacific daylight Time and not 11:50 9 PM PT.

    There certainly is an hour at least between the end of around a new round, so as you say they could have had the downtime then.

    My guess is that as most people had played, they did not worry about chopping a few, particularly as we were not the main contenders and they took no cognizance of the fact that, being an international site and people playing from all over the world, it was actually 3 PM Australian Eastern time, when they shut the site down

    Good find about the hour of break and the time zone glitch!

    My guess is that they didn't worry at all since the T&Cs permit them full agency. It's a sign of mercy and appeasement that you received some balls. Don't expect any more.

    They are WGT, hope is futile.

    There appears to be a bug in the first hole on the Olympic course, on the second shot (Tried it multiple times) 194-205 yrds it is an uphill shot 25-35 ft. At 194 yards into a 10mph wind a 200 yd iron went on the fly 210 yards, at 205 a 205 yard wood into a 12 mph wind went 220 flying completely over the green. Either the wind is wrong or the uphill is acting like a downhill.

    To me, it IS downhill. Usually, I play it 20-30 yds shorter than shown.

    Please show an uphill arrow if you think different.
