This change, perceived as a bug, is actually one of the best fixes in a long time. WGT eliminated the between-hole views and replaced them with that flashed look at the game client screen. It's like that pic is a placeholder of sorts, replacing all the other views that used to wreak havoc on connections and loads during multiplayer games.
It did cause a senior moment or 2 for me until I realized what was going on. :-D
