    So I have a 1.1 ft par putt on 18 to shoot 63...and a pop-up appears in my back swing saying the tournament deadline has passed!!!!!!!! So what? Who cares? What about the 63 I just shot? WTF!!!!!!!!!!! Guess I should have holed the birdie! LOL..

    Really?

    Even if you start the tournament one second after the closing time. It will let you reach the last putt before it tells you. You'd think they could do something to warn you earlier before you waste your balls.

    hi

    I hear ya but that's how it has been since forever and as long as everyone is double checking deadlines, it should work out. The problem with giving alerts before hand is likely not as simple as it seems.

    Why do I always have to learn the hard way???? Didn't even consider the ball usage. Seems a little harsh.

    Thanks for the input though, now I know!

    Always check the time remaining before you tee off. That has happened to most of us a few times.
