    Never had this happen, are you sure you were playing a ranked round and not just a practice round.

    It did record the round of 30 in his Scores History. Sometimes the result of a round hardly affects the average as it had been before that round. The averages on this site are weighted averages, and to calculate them is not as straightforward as it might appear.

    That is true and if you don't know which scores are coming off it is hard to just assume your average will go down.

    It seems to me that weighted averages tend to discount "freakish" one-off exceptions from a player's usual scores. If you wanna move your average down or up, it looks to me that it takes several results in "that other range" (consistently, for a couple of rounds at least) to move your average score in a new direction.

    The thread starter has been pretty stable in posting rounds of about 32 or so recently, but there is an odd round of 40, and now 30, among those more usual scores of his. It looks like his weighted average discounts these rounds as "exceptions" and (for now) holds on to that 64.xx average that more accurately reflects his usual play.

    There is definitely a bug here. I had that happen to me with a couple of rounds this week. I didn´t give it much importance because I don´t generally look at my average too much and I thought maybe  I had made a mistake and it had changed, but I undertsand this could be a great inconvenience if it happens to any pros wanting to become masters.

    I'm really not sure about that. If you take a more comprehensive look at the thread starter's most recent 12 rounds or so, it does seem like 64 would be a reasonable average score from them, while 63.xx would seem like a stretch.

    Same happened to me yesterday at St Andrews. After the round, I got the blank blue screen, which I believe is a bug.. The round shows in the score history, but not in the ACTIVITY section. I think it may be the same for thee other people as well.

    Definitely a bug with the round of 30 failing to appear in Magilacuty's Activity list. Since it got ignored there, maybe it also got ignored when his average score got updated (or failed to get updated).

    Also, if the 51ft eagle was a putt, it failed to record and his record putt still shows as 42ft.
