  Sunday; March 29, appr. 8:54PM (GMT+1)

  After finishing this course, I can see no history of this anywhere. I scored 36 and recieved a "2 Birdies in a row" award. The award is nowhere to be seen, the stats still say my best round is 39 and my stats say I haven't played any games today at all. I can't remember the last time my Hack changed at all...

  I have one save from that course today as "proof" I was there.

  BTW: Is it possible to remove the flagpole in any way (I've hit it on several occasions making me miss the shot)?

  Hi Cayman, thanks for the report, we'll look into this.

  Anyone have a problem chipping from the fringe on the 18th hole @ Kiawah? I've noticed it each time I get there. For example, when I need an 11 yard chip to the hole, approx. 11 yards on the scale gets me about 6 yards. If I'm lucky, I'll clear the fringe. But typically, I'll double bogey the 18th if I don't hit the green on my 2nd shot.

  Learn and love the pitch shot.

  Up in the top right corner of your game screen-the little flag icon next to the hole #-click on it.

   

  @macchug-12 yds on which scale?  If you chip less than 75% power you're asking for trouble on a chip shot. For instance, 1/2 swing on club rated to go 24 yds will not go 12-it'll probably chunk.

  Thanks for the tip. I try to remember that. Although, I must say, I don't seem to be that far off when I'm chipping from the light rough or fringe on other holes. Just 18. But I'll try to be mindful of setting up a 75% chip when I'm there.

  I've had the same problem. I'll move maybe a yard if at best I'll get a bogey!
