    Earlier this week I was playing the 9 hole unlimited at Merion.  On 10 I got lucky and landed a wedge inside a foot.  Have a look:

    But I didn't even get a chance to save the replay because the in game menu had disappeared!!!!!  I've never quite understood why this happens, but it seems to happen to me on a fairly regular basis.  I've played this game in multiple browsers, and I know for a fact it has happened with at least 2 of them -- Maxthon 3.5.2.600 and Opera 12.16.  Its been a while since I've used Firefox and Chrome for WGT, so I don't remember if this has happened with those browsers, but I'm guessing it probably has.

    Thankfully, any time this does happen the menu will resume once I start the next hole. But that does me absolutely no good b/c by then it is too late to save a replay.  I'm not sure if this happens to anyone else or if this is a known bug and WGT is working on addressing the issue.  I hope that during your next scheduled maintenance you'll take a look at the flash codes to hopefully prevent this kind of thing in the future.

    tl;dr I hit a nice golf shot but didn't get a chance to save the replay because the game menu had disappeared

    FWIW, I only tend to see this problem after using the "Restart" option for unlimited tournaments.

    You started a month before me but I can say that I've always used Chrome and have never seen this issue. Maybe StrayedFairway is on to something, I've never used the restart option.

    hi

    when the menu disappears, it's likely due to partial flash crash. It happens to me every once in a while and I take it as a sign to clear my cookies/temp files.

    another thing I noticed is when I play on my laptop the game opens in the same window like your screenshot and has more glitches...on my desktop I have it set to open in a new window which eliminates the tool bars and very few glitches, most of that is the pc but you might try it...also R click on the window, then settings, the folder, and move the slider to unlimited...then options, here I turn off wgt/lessons-hole in one-sound- and I turn on avatar angles, all personal choices, I prefer it that way....
