  Since some days  have  bugss in distances. At the tee box sometime the distance to hole is annouced in feet units (ie . 1500 ft) that one.

   

  The other, two hours ago was on hole #10 St Andrew, screen say distance to hole 334 yrds. Ok shot, ... What append ? Shot was 331 yrds and then distance to hole 17 yrds ... Bug is hole wasnt 334 yrds from tee box but less. may be this bug exist other place or time i dont pay attention to that.

  1) Was it when playing or in a replay?

  Which hole(s)?

  It happens in replays, that putts on the green are shown in yds and shots through the green are shown in feet.

  2) No bug but double pins.

  Nominal distance on Par4s and Par5s is to one fixed pin in WGTland, and if the other is on, you'll see it

  - when hovering over the blue dot on the mini-map,

  - when pulling the marker to the pin,

  - like you did, when adding shot length and distance left.

  Par3s always show the current distance.

  The distance to the hole is in perfect straight line, so if your shot is not on that it will become longer.

  hi

  I think the 240 is the default. you have to click above view (spacebar) and then adjust aim. also, hole distances are often calculated on a straight line , so any kind of different would be shown. also, if there are 2 pins per hole, then distance may be calculated to the middle of the green.

  either way, best way is to aim from above and then adjusting as needed.

  Not true. WGT scorecard hole length is to one pin.

  Edit: Always.

  Edit2: Never to green center.

  @alosso i read. But i am not talking about the theory of the shorstest distance between  point A and point B.

  Just sometimes tee to hole announced distance is wrong, tested & verified on this hole. Others times same distance is in feet, so you have to calculate for adjust shot. (and us in Europe dont know how many feet in a yard and nothing about others US standards, have to google each time)

  I am not talking about scorecard... I for one, never rely on that but that could just be me.
