Deviating count of Fairway hits

  Just found this post here (from Oct 20):

  mikeyb6:

  100% fairway yet they only give me 86%, not sure if this will qualify as a fault or a wrong doing lol

  Now this looks like some visual proof for the report issued previously:

  7 of 7 FWs hit is counted as 6/7 only (85.7 %).

  Why is there a discrepancy? What might have influence on that? Tee shots not with driver? Fringe hits (not on drives, obviously)? Eagles?

  I suppose it may only be calculated on 9 out of 9, what does it give on the best of par 5's if all 9 f/ways are hit?

  They may only have one formula written into the code and no IF's .

  i.e.    IF there are 2 x par 3's included , assume 7 f/ways hit = 100%?  But then I suppose that opens up more dicrepencies, What if a f/way is not hit on a par 4 and one is hit on a par 3, Will that still count towards a 100% stat?

  The Par 3s are always out of this (on the surface), you never get a fairway hit because you're supposed to hit the green. OTOH, only 6/7 gives the right number. 7/9 is 77.7%. And at STA, the game correctly sees 8 FWs to be hit. Missing one means 87.5 %, showing 88.

  I played BPB front 9 today, hit all (7) FWs of Par4 and Par5, and was rewarded with 100% FW hits.
