  Hmmm ... did your ball hit in the rough first on one hole and then roll out onto the fairway?

  That's the only thing I could think of ...

  It's not a new phenomenon- has been reported before.

  I tried to evaluate it hole-by-hole and came to some interesting observations:

  If you check the stats immediately after the drive, they have a diverging state:

  - FW hits on the scorecard will be updated if you hit FW (check mark) but not if you miss it (no dash).

  - Accuracy %% will not be updated at this point. Thus, if you hit the first FW, the value will be zero. If you miss the second FW, the value will be 100% from hole one. This is updated only after you finished the hole, together with the dash.

  I didn't finish the game because a mistake @4 would lead me into the rough, but I see some chance that the calculation at the last hole might be jumbled, omitting a value for the calculation.

  Just a guess.

  Not feeling ambitious enough to go verify, but I believe it's because you hit something other than driver on a par 4/5 off the tee (#4 with a tailwind I'm guessing?).

  No. This is excluded from the driving average stats but not from FW hits or individual driving length.

  If it were like you guessed, the "FW hit" mark should be missing, too.

  theres so much b*** sh** on these forums sometimes.it don't matter how u get onto the fairway from the tee don't matter what club or if u slice hit a tree an bounce back onto it if your ball comes to rest on the fairway then its a fairway hit...simple

  @TS: Bollox' assumptions miss the point IMHO.

  I remember the discrepancy but not the course. It may have been KIA as well(?)
