    Not sure if this has been raised beforehand but these are the cards for my last round:

    Going off the facts that I hit every single green (both dashes are the par 3's) and every single fairway, how has the game calculated that I hit 94% of fairways?

    On one of those holes, you didn't tee off with driver. For some reason only teeing off with a driver reflects your average. Hitting the Fway with 3 wood is the same as hitting the fescue with a driver as far as the calcs go.

    Or... you drove the green on #9 which I don't think counts as a fairway hit... (in the calculation)... But I see you drove #12 too so maybe that's not the case.

    I think the calcualtion for hitting fairways still, as Lee said doesn't count if you hit less than a driver.  I do believe that WGT fixed the flaw about driving the green not counting as a fairway hit.

    It is clear to me now that the accuracy calculation has gone wrong again. This is a terrible round I have just completed - I drove off every tee (with driver) except par threes and never missed a fairway - you'd think accuracy would be a 100% but its only 57%.

    Thanks for all replies but PGA has it spot on; I took a 3W on 13 due to a 31 mph straight downwind. Seems rather daft that this is classed as a missed fairway; perhaps a change WGT can make in a future update?

    reported it months ago that hitting a fairway with a 3 wood = missed fairway and got confirmation wgt were aware of it ...and nothing has happened

    The system does go wrong though - it worked out my accuracy as 57%. I didn't tee off with a 3W on 4 holes.
