  Can you delete what you have already written.

  I write something for a paticular hole in a ctth....  the next time I play it in simular conditions using the same club...  can I delete my last comment and write the new one.

  If it's 500 characters per page and I'm writing new info for a hole then the page will fill up fast.

  Are spaces counted.   This post must be close to 200 c's

  A space is a character.  So is the Carriage Return, but it usually stores 2 characters (Carriage Return + Line Feed).

  I'd suggest if you want to keep detailed notes from what I've read so far, you'll probably want to use a form of computer shorthand, and keep your notes as general as possible.  Avoid describing distance to pin, elevation, wind speed, wind direction or club used for that matter.  "R/S/P" instead of "stay right and short of the pin", if space becomes an issue.  2 pages, or 1000 characters should be plenty of space for general notes.  Just avoid getting too detailed.

  Your welcome!  And a very, merry Christmas to you!

  I want it to be known that while mine is available, it is not an overlay like the one offered by WGT ... it also doesn't have any real graphics, and it requires Excel 2007 to run.  

  I wish WGT had a virtual notebook available 8 months ago when I started playing ... sure could have saved me some long evenings writing code!

  Thx Kat,  that cleared up the space question.

  To Delete what you have written would be good to save the space on the 'Notebook'

  I'm just guessing that is a "rush release" bug they will clear up soon.

  Maybe they're planning to sell erasers ... kinda like 1,000 character deletions for 10 credits?  And when you do erase, you get smudge marks, just like in real golf!

  I hope they get that part fixed ... also the ability to make your notes after the shot!

  How do I stop notifications?

  See in your "account" tab.

  Some notifications cannot be stopped, some may be stopped inadvertedly by the system and never come back :(

      i bought the course notebook and took it to merion in practice mode. hole #1 hit a good tee shot and brought up the book, so far no problems. my problem is that i left click in order to write and i get a solid line on the top line of the page instead of the usual intermittent line and i cannot write anything. i am using waterfox browser and have cleared both cashe. also took a mulligan and same problem.

  any help would be very much appreciated,

  In full screen? Just a thought.  I need to quickly exit out that to write in it.

  Also WGT when you look at the fix for not being able to look at / enter anything for a given hole after a the last shot on a hole is played, please also have it so you can flick through the book at any time, for all holes.  If that's not possible please have it so you can at least look at at any hole of the course you are playing whilst also working toward the thing cross referring to Best of Courses rather than treating them as completely separate:) 

  EDIT: Please include a section for General NOTES to.  So it is closer to a real notebook
