    Just wanted to remind people of a common "not paying attention" slip I've made more than once.  When using your "chip" club shot on an hole approach, The clubs distance indicator is in yards and the hole distance may be in feet, so you need to convert the clubs or holes numbers. I just did it now and instead of being the footage near the hole I was lying the same number , but in yards. Duh, It probably will happen again,          or did I just sabatage myself?lol

    FYI:

    1 foot = 0.333333333 yards

    1 yards = 3 feet

    Hi fader,

    This is a known issue when chipping from the fringe.  We hope to have this fixed soon.

    Thanks for the report. =)

    Been there done that, lol. Another is the putting scales, not paying attention.

    I lined up a putt the other day (about 20 ft from the fringe) and promptly hit the ball about 60 ft to the fringe on the other side. LOL

    Remember to check the putter setting when putting from the fringe. It seems to usually set at 90 ft.
