  I gave it another go just to see if I could do it again got real close too, prob is it was so close, I screwed up taking a screenshot and couldnt get the replay before a gimmie automatically stopped cc the put :(.  LOL -you have to take my word on this one as well almost got you mags but .1 too far.

  Any tips on how to get a replay and screenshot before the gimmie kick in :).

  2 late to save an screen shot of the putt if u already closed the game.

  Press "Print Screen" (top in the numbers keyboard) while u viewing the putt and then open any program to view & edit pictures, place the saved print screen and then save it as jpg preferentially, with size 500 in wide.

  Rest, I think you can figure it out.

  Thanks sir, LOL was so surprised by shot thought it might drop than lost frame of mind for a minute.  What happens If it gets holed?  What would one do then for a screenie and a replay before the next hole just curious?

  Hahahahaha, Imao, thought myself about the same, if you hole it out, you have NO screen to confirm the green speed, no matter what you do.

  Then, either you will be accused of cheating by some of the participants or given a clap in the shoulder by Icon and 5 sleeves.

  LOL...it was a good 1 : )))

  The purpose of the screenie was mainly to confirm the exact distance as you need to be

  a) inside 10 ft  to qualify

  b) inside 3 ft   extra sleeve

  c) CTTH     which means we need to differentiate by a few inches

  The green speed is just a bonus confirmation.

  If anyone gets a HIO - I think we will all be amazed. We will simply trust the green speed was right and congratulate you on the 5 sleeves. Personally I think a HIO will be equally amazing no matter what the green speed.

  Out of interest - when I designed this challenge - green speed was not stipulated. It was your choice - I figured that it would be too difficult to manage. When asked the question early - Icon made a call and included the minimum Tourn12 requirement. It was a good challenge - but maybe simpler would have been less hassles in hindsight.

  Thanks everyone for having a go.

  Happy Hacking

  Too late now - but click putt or cross to get rid of the gimme box. The save screen and select "Replay Last Shot" from the menu.

  fmagnets was 1.6 ft.   the screenie you posted is 1.4 ft.    So not sure why you say it is .1 too far. I have you leading the CTTH now

  Also - your screenshot shows   "2nd shot"  on the putt.  There is no way you could have got to that spot other than with a drive - so I'm cool with there being no replay in this instance.

  Great shot - it must have looked Reeeeeeallly close!

  Oh BTW, both who are inside 10ft but did not have replay/pic with green speeds will get a sleeve as well since I did not clarify, even if I felt it was implied.

  From now on though, please replay/screenie would be appreciated :)

  Thanks Icon - that clears up the question of screen-shots and those who did not post them. They are removed from the top 10 allowing other entries in. But they will still have the sleeve of balls paid out as they were not at fault.

  Please note - I accepted gdog8's latest entry on an honesty basis - but to continue to allow entries without the required information opens up too much scope for abuse.

  To be more specific about what Icon has requested - please note from here on I will not accept an entry where the post does not contain the following required information:-

  1. The Replay - showing the ball type and the required bounce over the Burn.

  2. A screenshot - with the following information not cropped out of the image -

         (i)   Distance to hole

         (ii)  Green Speed

         (iii)  Ball type used - in the bottom right corner, and also the ball on green

         (iv)  Player Name - nice to know it's your replay

  No more excuses accepted - all the above info required for a valid entry.

  If you get a HIO - I expect you to save the Replay. No excuses like "I did not get time" - "it moved on to the next hole too quickly". We will trust the green speed to honesty as long as there is a replay showing the bounce, pin position and ball type. I will not accept a screenshot of a scorecard showing a ①on the first hole, nor will I accept a message post that says "PlayerXYZ scored a Hole in One on St. Andrews #1". Neither of these show the required information as specified above.

  I continue to get crap for being too regimented on this - but although most of us are honest, when free stuff is up for grabs we need to make sure all the entries are legit.

  By all means have loads of fun trying to win in these challenges - but if you do win and want to claim a prize - you need to post the required info for it to be accepted. Simple as that!

  Happy Hacking

  My only credentials are that I in fact created this challenge, and the last one -- Longest Putt on Chambers Bay #4.

  I went to Icon with these challenges to see if he would Sponsor them - which he did.

  Icon then asked us to keep track - which I am trying to do - while still ensuring that the rules of the challenge are maintained within the spirit of what I intended the challenge to be. I maintained the Leaderboard in the last challenge that I created - and Icon paid out on the final list. I am simply doing the same again.,

  if somebody else wants to take over and deal with all the issues - have at it! The more you post complaints - the less chance there is that icon will sponsor future challenges.

  Where exactly is it unreasonable to expect what has been listed in the posting - and I made everything quite specific to avoid future posts that miss things out.
  My words  "I accept" or "I won't accept" are purely what I include on the Leaderboard which I was periodically posting. ie.  I need to accept an entry for it to make the Leaderboard. As you can see in the past - some were "Not accepted" due to wrong green speed, wrong hole   etc....

  I won't bother creating any more challenges if this is thanks you get.
