    I'm going to list 5 things that could quickly be done in my view to make the game a little more enjoyable. Some of these are on the roadmap I understand, but my feeling is when the game starts to get a little frustrating stuff like this can help.

    Now I would say to anyone who replies, you're welcomed to add 5 of your own to the list, but please try to be constructive. For example, don't just say fix the %$%^ meter. Sure that's probably a problem that needs to be addressed but it's nothing EASY about it, ok... here ya go...

    1. Bring back keyboard shortcuts

    At one time there was a shortcut to toggle the green grid off/on. That has sort of been solved. But things like toggling the pin off/on would be nice via a key touch, like just a touch of the "p." That's just one possible example, right now you're not utilizing the keyboard for anything.

    2. Leaderboards for Awards

    I know I know on the roadmap. But for the life of me I'm not quite following the difficulty in implementing this. You're already tracking these, you already have leaderboards like this in place for earnings. Seems like a no brainer, but who knows.

    3. Tracking pins hit per course for each hole

    Again this is for the award category. And again already tracking it. Adding a tab to the existing stats would seem appropriate. Kiawah for example could have 1 thru 18 and if a pin has been hit on 17 for instance a red X thru the number could signify that. Same thing for the other courses. It would make getting these awards more of a challenge vs just playing it out and being surprised when you get them.

    4. Rework Award Milestones

    Currently there are several awards that just aren't realistic. Aces, double eagles just to name a few. If you were to bring those values down, maxing out in awards could be possible. Not saying it should be easy, just possible.

    5. Breakdown the experience points and where/how a player gets them.

    Could be added to the FAQ, similar to how you already have done the awards.

     

    Some of these maybe I'm over simplifying, but I hope you get the general idea. And I understand some if not all these have been mentioned in the past, just a gentle reminder. In times where updates are few and far between these sort of things can bridge the gaps while new courses, major updates come out. And again constructive replies alone guys, please!

    6. Ability to filter stats, personal or another player. 

    Stats are cumulative from Day 1 and do not reflect anything more than sheer numbers. Being able to see the past month, 6 months or whatever will allow one to see progress and where improvement could come from.

    7. The all time best score for each 9/18 hole course.

    How about before you enter a 9 hole or 18 hole stroke play course there is a leaderboard, much like we have right now with the tournaments, that shows the top 10 scores on that course of all time. Or even on that same board it shows your top score of all time on that particular course. I know that it is tracked in the awards section of your profile but I guess just make it more accessible. I think it would give you a little more extra incentive to do better so as you could try to get your name on that top 10 leaderboard that would hold the best of the best!

    8.    Another no brainier at least to me is the Putting Green.  You have all these greens on    these courses. just pick 1 or two add some holes and make it a putting green. Just does note seem that hard or time  intense to do
