  @TS: Bollox' assumptions miss the point IMHO.

  Sam has been here a little longer than you and knows somethings that maybe you don't. A few years ago only shots hit off the tee with a driver counted for driving accuracy, driving average and longest drive. 

  This is the driving stats portion of the score card where I accidentally started a round with no driver or 3 wood. 

   

   

  as you can see all 3 driving stats are at 0% because I didn't hit any shots with a driver. That has changed since then but maybe it still affects driving accuracy

  So, you are more in defense than Bollox, I guess ;)

  When was that scorecard taken? (Date, and situation in the game)

  Before posting the above, I started a round with 3WD and saw that the average was zero after holing out at the first (which I knew before), but driving length had a number, as well as FW hits. They count regardless.

  FW hits is the subject - any thoughts of that?

  I seen somewhere in the forums that only a long drive counts as long drive with the driver but like alosso says a FW hit is a FW hit regerdless of the club(or should be imo)

  and again none of my FW hits was from any other club than the driver 

  EDIT you get a % and a check for iron or 3 wood off the tee guess since I'm bored I'lll retry the whole round and maybe see which hole doesn't work lol

  Thanks for all your comments guys regarding using various clubs off the tee.  I was confused after reading the comments. It would not make sense to only count the Driver as there are cases where I choose to use the 3W, let alone the fact that there are many Par 3's where an Iron is the club of choice.

  I have never really paid attention to the results off the tee. Maybe I will go out and experiment to see the results first hand. All I ever noticed was the Check Marks and not looked at the Stats.

  Par 3 , 3 iron hit the green , no fairway hit .... it wouldn't count TS2010 m8 , maybe this is why its not 100%

  the par 3's don't count towards the DTP TS just GIR's ( nor FW hits % )

  I did it again 3 times and all got 100% and checks so maybe it's a random bug idk lol

  I guess they changed that too. Because it used to count as a missed fairway if you punched your driver on a long par 3 like #11 at RSG and didn't stop on the green.

  This score card was from early summer 2010.  It was a monthly unlimited tourney at St. Andrews. The situation was I had just finished a CTTH round with my CTTH set-up being iron set,putter and 5 optional wedges and forgot to change back. I was too stubborn to quit so I played the entire 18 hole round with that set-up.
