  I know i have seen this been mentioned before. Dont try to tell me its not a bug. From the master tees you drop in short grass. Why in the world would anyone drop in the sand? Please fix this. The simple solution is not to go in the water, however im just an average joe, sometimes I do. If i do however I prefer not to take a free drop in the sand. Also if my ball hits dry land across the pond, (in grass not the side of the wall) shouldnt my drop be on the other side? Anyways I'll take the penalty just fix the drop area. NOONE would drop in hard sand 184 yards out,across a water hazard.

  OK had this 2x going now...

  Please guys, this should have been fixed in your last update if not before. Just place it BACK ON THE TEE!!!!. That's what anyone in their right mind would do in real life. This is a simple solution, take away the drop for this hole.

  lovely, and just started a new RG without realizing that I just used all my balls in the water on this hole. Yet ANOTHER thing that should have been fixed a long time ago. I haven't teed off, I should be able to switch balls out by going to the proshop and buying new ones.

  Just wasted 2 RGs thanks for the experience...

  Yes I'm pretty ticked off now...

  Hi both of you,

  We are looking into the drop issue.

  About the balls, when you have 5 or less left, they turn red in your club setup, so as to alert you to buy more. The system works well, just keeping closer eye on it should fix most issues.

  I would say quit patronizing me, but just for the players that may not know that I will let it go.

   

  However, this is NOT a good system of replacing balls and needs to be addressed. I understand the reason for not being to start another game while one already needs to be finished. But you can still let the players go back to the pro shop and/or switch balls out between holes.

   

  I'll edit "between holes" with "before playing 1st shot"... you get the idea I hope.

  You do have to play the same type of ball for the entire round in real life viz.  You couldn't use a pinnacle on par 5's and pro-v on par 3's.

  I guess I could see in solo rounds being able to swap balls/clubs prior to your first shot tho.  I know I've withdrew from many tourneys on the first tee box when I've got all wedges in my bag from CTTP.

  Thanks for this information.  I don't' why it had never dawned on me to do this.   

  Cheers

  I brought that very thing up a few months ago. The ability to change clubs and or balls before hitting your first shot. Real life players get to do that. You can change any equipment until the first player in your group hits. So here especially in solo play you should be able to make changes. After you hit your first shot that option would be greyed out. I usually make the mistake of clicking the play now button from the tournament screen not from the main menu screen.

  This is getting pathetic. You guys have been aware of this for whoever knows how long. Definitely from the start of this thread, first on 10/17 then again on 10/31 and you still choose to keep this BS the same on the 17th.

  Put the drop BACK ON THE TEE!!!

  I mean there has been many updates since this thread was started, do you guys just not care???

  Better yet just start the stupid RG on the 17th hole so you can save me the grief of playing 7 holes then watching my round goto ***.

  Another maintenance cycle passes, and still drops this into the sand. I just don't get it guys, maybe you can explain it to me.
