  That'll never work

  It works for me when I do a Caption Contest.  I get the sponsors lined up.  And go.

  1. If you hit a shot into the drink and mulligan, a penalty shot carries over and will stay as part your score if you hit the next shot into the water too. This will soon use up your 15 shots. To avoid this, mulligan back to the tee after your soggy shot, duff the next tee shot, then mulligan that too. The penalty shot disappears allowing you unlimited goes once you have found a good wind.

  2. The L100 Nike driver and new R1 both seem to have the right flight for this challenge. I haven't got anywhere near with the old R1 because the flight seems too flat.

  3. Do not forget to take your mulligan before unthinkingly taking a practice swing. The mulligan option disappears and you have to play your way back to the tee.

  4. If you have a good wind, but can't get the shot to work, you can chip the ball around on the tee for a different angle or distance. Anywhere on the tee allows a pegged up driver which I believe still qualifies for the challenge.

  The penalty shot disappears?  It shouldn't should it?

  Of course it should. If you take a shot, then mulligan, your score should reset to what it was before the shot. The fact that it carries over the penalty shot unless the next shot doesn't find the water is a bug.

  Hey guys

  I am going to close this as of now for a few reasons:

  1. All the negative replies frustrated me. I know we are all competitive but some things said here about others were not so nice.

  2. We have reached the 10+ required

  I hope you all enjoyed it and we can run one of these at a later date

  I'll try to get the balls awarded later today

  p.s andy, I like your idea of handling over the day to day running of it, Perhaps both of you would consider doing it if we run this again.

  Of course it should.

  Stupid me!  I only noticed the penalty shots accumulating and thought that's how WGT wanted it implemented.  Clever of you to figure out the bug and how to reset the penalty stroke.
