I just played a 9 hole stroke game on the back 9 at St. Andrews, teeing off from the Legend tee and hit the ball 375 yards. Up until that drive the longest I had was 365 yards. I played the whole 9 holes and was not given the stat saying 375 yards. I felt good hitting that distance to find out I was cheated of that stat.
If you were playing from the back tee's you were in practice mode so any score or award will not show up on your stats.
You only get those in Ranked games. Try again from your own tee's in Ranked mode.

He's a Legend... doesn't that mean he was playing from the back tees? So he may have been playing a ranked round. Wondering if he hit a 3 wood for that distance??? Do balls that end up in the rough count for long distance?
Yes I was using my G20 280 yard Driver, and it was a ranked round, with about a 13 mph tailwind. It wasn't in the rough either there's a strip of fairway I was making my 2nd shot from which by the way ended up 1 yard from the hole for a birdie.

Nope, longest drive in fw or on green is how it goes I believe. Maybe fringe too?
That's it! In real life you could hit your longest drive with a putter. But at WGT I believe long drives are only calculated if using a driver.

Just fairway and green. fringe is not considered part of the green so it doesn't count for driving distance or accuracy.
