  CerinoDevoti:

  Now teaching or learning  Uneven Lies is going to be much easier with the mulligan option.

  I officially nominate you Chief Uneven Lie Chart Administrator. Your job is to get Corwyn, maybe a chat with Hans and a few of the accomplished types to assemble a primer that would rival Icon's Chip and Pitch Tips. This tool is for you.

  You'll go down in WGT history.  ;-)

  This is brilliant. Now I can finally work out how to play in high wind!

   

  Couple of small bugs to report. Can't pull the pin and it seems to count mulligans as putts. I had 1 putt but it was recorded as 6 after I redid the approach.

  I had the same experience of surprise looking at the scorecard. Here's an example:

  

  #10 :: I took 3 mulligans on my approach, and then sank the single putt for 'birdie' [but Putt count has 3 extra];

  #11 :: I took a mulligan on the Drive after missing the fairway [but no addition to putt count at all; in this instance, Mulligan is entirely hidden from the record]

  #12 :: To test the putting mulligan, I whiffed a 1 footer, and retook the shot, ending with a par [but with 3 Putts showing]

  So, 5 mulligans were taken in the 3 holes, but the scorecard record is baffling to say the least!

  Is it too much to hope that the Scorecard design be modified to include a line for 'Mulligans'? 

  That would keep the records clean: it would be evident if any mulligans had been used, which would retain the integrity of posted cards.

  If I was better with the computers I'd do the Bandi-Cam thing and make videos of my aiming method. As of now I use an abacus, Chisanbop and a Princess phone. I'll mail you Polaroids if you want?

  Thanks Covenant! I was aware of that. My concern was for situations where a scorecard might need to be posted for say, a community-tourney, and it had to be done in practice mode (perhaps, in order to have set conditions, or uneven lies).

  Thankfully, mulligans are only for single-player mode, which means any tourney that's multi-player is safe from that concern. Imagine, though, if mulligans were allowed in multi-player. It would be a teaching tool: you could have your coach on the course with you, advising you again and again how to get a particular shot right... but, on the other hand, you might get stuck with a player retaking a shot again and again, just to drive you nuts!

  It does eat up the balls a bit. Will have to equip all my spare (non-Nike) ones when doing putting practice!

  A mulligan should only affect the ball life as many times as a club actually strikes the ball. The bad shot should count as one ball strike. Take a mulligan and the stroke is disregarded but it should still be there as a ball strike with regards to ball life. The second attempt becomes the stroke but it should be the second ball strike with regards to ball life. No more, no less.

  It doesn't surprise me that a company who engages in conspiracy to commit fraud in survey offerings and specializes in poor customer relations would find such a deceptive manner to squeeze a few more pennies out of their customers.

  Pffft.  You know better than that. Now WGT is in cahoots with the survey monkeys? Ya, right, where did that come from?

  ALSO NO MORE MAXIMUM SHOTS LIMIT, WOOHOO!!

  hmmm,  Was practicing earlier, and got to 15 shots, and was told the shot maximum was reached.  Looks like it was increased from 12 to 5.
