  What browser are you using? If it's Firefox, there's a problem with the latest Flash update. I went back to this previous version and that sorted it out.

  Well Adobe won't let me install it saying that it is not the latest version. Any tips on how to get around it

  I;ve just had exact same problem, flash crashing between holes constantly. I;ve just played a full round using explorer instead of my usual firefox and... No problem at all.

  I shall just use IE until a fix happens.

  Hope that helps.

  You have to first uninstall your current version of flash before you can install a new version.

  Find the uninstaller and the version of flash you want to install here.

  Check your Firefox plug-ins here.

  I think it is a problem with the latest flash update, happened a few times with me the past couple of days. Have never had any real problems before.

  OK, having installed a previous version of flash, I'm now up to date again. Having looked at the Adobe site, the culprit, at least for me, seems to be the 'RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in'.

  Sorry, it's a long time I messed around with HTML:

  They advise disabling as follows:

  1. Launch RealPlayer
  2. Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper left corner of the window and choose Preferences.
  3. Choose Download & Recording from the left hand panel
  4. Uncheck "Enable Web Download & Recording for these installed browsers"
  5. Click OK and close RealPlayer
  6. Restart Firefox

  Twenty stable minutes and counting...:)
