  Starting today I am seeing a delay in a post actually showing....

  I'm not sure of the technical name for it, I think it's called the feed dispatcher.  It's responsible for posting scores to your activity log, forums posts a few other things.  Sometimes it gets a little behind and there's a small delay while it catches up.  You'll notice every once in a while when you post a score it doesn't immediately show up, but then it comes through 30 seconds later.  Typically if a flood of activity comes through at once it can take a minute to process it all and get it sorted out.

  Is there any way to play this tutorial when you're already Master? Just would like to see what the do in their tutorial

  Unless it's a different set of tutorials I think you can see them by clearing your Flash cache and starting a round. It's one of the annoyances that happens when you clear your cache-the tutorials show up when you play the first round as if you'd never played before.

  just checked my equipment and yes the starter set is there as well as the beginner set. They are a little better than the beginner set. 10 yards more per club 1/2 dot precision versus 0 for beginners and 1/2 dot less forgiveness 3 for starters and 3 1/2 for beginners. 1/2 dot on both shot shaping and spin for the starters versus 0 for both for the beginners and high trajectory for starters versus medium for the beginners. Starter set has a slightly faster swing meter. same speed as my Raptures.

  Seen somebody going around with beginners so thought of testing them out. The meter's a lot slower. LW and putter go the same distance.  Still using my tour pro 220yd as driver and 3 wood. I'll see how these beginner clubs go, really like the slower meter. Might keep them instead of starters.

  Testing these beginner clubs and I'm going back to starter irons and woods. Be testing out the LW and putter a bit more though. Those beginner irons don't arc as high and seem to roll futher after they hit. Its throwing my game off. Like on St Andrews for the 2nd shot, you swing for however far it is and it almost goes in that water ditch but rolls to whatever the yardage is.

  Think I'll be sticking with that beginner putter. If you're using the starter one, try it out. Haven't had too much chance to use the LW. I'll see how that one goes.

  Turfed out that LW back to starter. Now its just the beginner putter left. We'll see how long that lasts. Probably a few close calls that I know would of went in with the starter and that one 'll get sacked too. lol.

  Been testing out the beginner putter and seems to go in more with the starter. Switching back to starter. Anybody else test out the beginner set and even though it's slower meter, switched back to starter? There's just something about it throwing the game off.

  Hmm testing out starter and that not being able to click in the middle as much is way worse. Guess I'm stuck with that beginner putter even though for some reason it seems worse.
