  my irons and wedges are hitting 20 yards less than they should do, it is nothing to do with the ball roll.

  Please, just try clearing out your flash cache, I know it sounds strange but sometimes the data gets really corrupted and has a strange outcome on the game.

  would it make any difference that I am now playing this game on a different laptop?

  I was playing the game on my own laptop which I keep up to date, I am always deleting things that I don't need or use and defragmenting it. currently I am waiting for a new battery so I am now playing the game on my sisters laptop, needless to say she is useless when it comes to looking after a computer.

  deleting her browsing history, temporary internet files and cookies took ages, so did installing updates and defragmenting. doing things like this I am reminded why I look after my own laptop so much. over 12 months she has had this laptop and has never updated it once, women eh?

  anyway, thanks to everyone for all your help, I really appreciate it :-)

  I'm still having a few problems with my irons not quite hitting as far as they should, even after clearing my flash cache, clearing my tempory files, cookies and deleting my browsing history, and updating my sisters laptop and defragging it.

  could this have anything to do with the fact that I recently advanced to tour pro and because of this the game is now harder?

  Nope, your tier doesn't affect the distance your clubs can hit. 

  I'd suggest playing a round with someone with more experience...when they tell you what shot to hit, do exactly what they say, and they can tell you if they think the ball acted in the right way ... in other words, it may just be your perception of the distance being slightly out. Plus the course layout and so on...

  I'd offer my help, I'm not exactly massively experienced but I'm fairly good at judging the distances at least. 

  If you'd like to take me up, send me a friend request, and invite me to a game any time you see me online

  Oe more thing to try...I recall someone mentioning when they ran out of good balls and defaulted to the unlimited balls, there was NO difference at all....this has me thinking...

   

  Reselect all your clubs to starter clubs and unlimited balls...play 9 holes (yes it will be brutal), then switch and save to your upgraged equipment and see if that helps/changes anything.
