Expanding glitches

  Usually I would say something about wgt and its barrage of different glitches, but this one was more fun than aggrevation so I wanted to share - with WGT, too.  At Pro level and a fairly consistent 70.65 score avg., I joined  a stroke play Par 5's game, 9 holes.  Shot 4 under.  After the final putt, WGT popped a window on me that my score was a bit off (worse) from my norm, and I may want to take some tutorials to see about where I may want to play my set up shots and positions on the green...meaning a tad different from what I did to earn my not so up to snuff -4.  LOL  Obviously WGT could only read my 41 score, with no concept of it being a 45 par.  Pretty friggin' funny, and typical.

  Thanks for reporting this.  We will definitely look into this one.

  As I recall, Par 5 games are not considered by WGT when computing your "average". I believe that the Par 3 courses also are not counted.

  Uh....really?  I said nothing about my score average changing or not changing.  Irrelevant.  The funny thing was what I specfied:   Ledbetter's putting tutorial popup was shown to me because my shooting was not as good as I normally shoot, according to the popup message, lol.   (I normally shoot @ -1).  Regardless of WGT not calculating averages on Par 5's, I don't think they intended for the system to advise me that my poor performance (-4) required putting maintenance, and it seems WGT agrees from their comment.  Oh, another funny one,  just played 9 hole St .Andrews, 3 players.  One was +10 after 5 holes and timed out a 3rd time and was DQ'd on the 6th tee.   We finished the game, and though IRRELEVANT, just funny... the screen read the DQ'd player's name as the winner with a 33.  Not just listed as 33, like wgt does to show all players final number...it actually read:  "Player [XYZ] won with a 33", lol.  At least WGT is getting a sense of humor.
