  bigdaddie1:

  I just ran out of Calloway l35 balls in the 9th hole of an 18 hole tournament. Where the hell did the last ball feature go? You said the balls would be the same as those in your bag, and no changes needed.

  Starter balls for the back nine?  I want the last ball option back.

   

  You did not get a reminder about the balls because the ball you were using is no longer available for sale.  All players should remember if you are using the discontinued ball to either switch to a different ball if you are on your final ball.

  ScottHope:

  Windows Vista, 7 & 8 have a magnifier feature, accessible by holding down the windows key and pressing the '+' key.

  The amount of magnification can be adjusted by holding down the windows key and pressing the '+' or '-' keys.

  The magnifier can be switched between full screen by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F,  a smaller lens by pressing Ctrl+Alt+L  or docked to an edge of the screen by pressing Ctrl+Alt+D.  It is not as good as the flash window zoom but its better than nothing at all.

  Ty for that so much Scott name the ball you use and ill toss you a sleeve

  There was a video on here a while back John, and it showed a programme slowing the meter right down to a crawl. And although it doesnt help put the ball in the hole, it certainly makes sure you hit the fairways and greens every time (with the correct shot, of course).

  That program you are referring to still gave the other player a chance of winning and playing.  The cheat that was occurring with the right click, froze a player out of the game and forced them to forfeit the match.  When done in a game played for credits the losing player had no chance at all.  Literally after 1 or 2 shots they could be kicked out and credits taken from them.  Which is why we are being so careful with what we are putting back in regards to the right click.

  Players complain about cheating ask us to do something.... we find a major cheat and I am very serious that this was a major cheat that caused a lot of issues and loss of credits.  We find it and fix it to make the game fairer for players and now we get complaints about zoom?  In all honesty what  would players prefer, being cheated out of credits or a zoom feature?

  If there is a way to put the zoom feature back without opening up the cheat feature we will try and do it.  But there are no promises and if there is even the smallest hint that it gives players the ability to cheat again we won't put it back.

  I really need to hear this, how in Gods name could the zoom feature relate or have anything to do with a cheat. Please either openly say this or PM me.

  Also you said the print screen was gone, some tourneys require a screen shot of playing with the proper equipment, and or the scorecard.

  Sorry read futher into the post and saw you explination,

  Depending on the system you are using there are many different ways to take screen shots.  Mac there is a program called grab and for pc's you can just hit the prtscn key.

  a) that has NEVER happened to me (suspect dasterdly dead to 'help' win CR's match..another example of 2% messing it up for the vast majority) 

  I've had it happen to me when I mis-clicked and hit play in the pop up menu by mistake, only a few times and certainly not annoying enough to give up zoom for though. 

  Besides, it was my own stupid fault.  I don't think a few players whining about this is a good enough reason to rob us all of the zoom option.

  This is unfair.  Please give us our zoom back.

  Agree only issues with zoom were my doing ...never encountered issues stated to remove ..+1
