    Corwyn:

    Perhaps someone out there knows where the discrepancy comes from.

    More bad WGT programming I'm afraid. Happens all the time, and not just this course. The green ticks are correct, the percentage figures often fall one or two fairways short.

    Pretty standard 84 for me :-) not one bit disappointed to be honest.  Always fun playing TIO  and it was the first tournament that attracted me when i logged in after a long time today.

    Haven't played this month at all.  saw that today was the last day to play R1. . did that first thing.

    Scorecard not worth showing, but have saved it anyways... 32 putts, with 3- 3 putts.. well putting was the only thing that got affected after not playing for so long... liked the dinging sound tho.

    Checked the leader-board, showed i was 54th..  i thought man,, dead last.. coz usually thats what the participation number is/ /

    Saw the full leaderboard had full 5 pages filled..

    CONGRATZ corwyn, you did it..!!! really happy for ya and Good for wgt to include these events on gameclient page, you definitely deserved that for all the efforts you put in. 

    keep the good work going.!

     

    Cheers

    I'm thinking it could it be #12 (i think) where I played up to the end of the tee box about 150 yards out? May show as fairway on card but not % calc.... When I played that was surprised to see it put me back with a driver off a tee for my second shot, but no help, still 3 to reach green and then a 2 putt for bogey!

    On par 5 course I've seen that when u miss the 2nd shot in the rough, that also counted as missed fairway in driving stats calculation. As for greens, yesterday my shot ended up on fringe on Whistler #1, from where I putted from, and it counted as a green hit in both scorecard and stats.

    Whistler 1 is a par 5, so if you hit the fringe in 2 and putted your 3rd on then you did hit the green in regulation.

    Great start, then fell apart for the next 5 holes. Last 10 played great except missed a 4ft par putt on #13.

    A very similar round from me too, except I had a lousy start, lol! Also +7 after 8, yikes!!!

    I felt a little unlucky to get some wretched winds, and to shave the edge several times with putts, but truth be told, I played poorly and didn't deserve much better than the score posted: a 79.

    P.S. Anyone else experiencing very frequent Shockwave Flash crashes. Has happened half a dozen times tonight, both in forums and in game client. Most frustrating!

    #1 11@130  slight pull and short with 2nd which rolled off & then compounded that error by leaving pitch 3yds short. Slight pull on 9ft par save try and that was opening BOGEY

    #2 8@730 into wind, barely made fairway, 2nd left 108 out, pulled 3rd 8yds left and short from difficult angle, and 24ft par save try shaved hole BOGEY

    #3 8@130 dinged 2nd bounced on but short: 11ft try total misread  PAR

    #4 9@430 pushed 3rd middle of green, nowhere near with 170 club into wind, good try from 41ft just too high BOGEY

    #5 8@730 Made total hash of this hole: had 164 for 3rd, came up way short with 170ns shot clicked late. Was hoping for bounce on, but didn't aim far enough right I think: 26 short horrible lie tried 50 club but not enough and rolled back off!, then awful late click pitch shot, and missed the 13ft bogey save, doh!  DOUBLE BOGEY

    #6 14@930 huge forward bounce and off the back hit 225 2/3bs 96%, dreadful push on pitch 5yds right , great 15ft save  PAR

    #7 12@6 2nd too far to go, bounced on but rolled off into horrible lie (better course management would have led to choice to layup for full LW shot); tried topspin flop but 5yds short , dinged 15ft par save try but seemed to take odd starter putter deviation left off clubface BOGEY

    #8 11@730 3rd shot hit slight pull when trying to push and rolled off, nice distance on flop but still a BOGEY

    #9 9@115 sad to see tailwind here! dinged 190fbs as good as could have been played but 9yds long, but sunk 28ft birdie putt woo hoo!  BIRDIE

    #10 12@6 couldn't reach green in 3 full shots! (actually was tempted to try and take a little off tee shot and aim for Easy tee to get chance to hit Driver again; actual drive only went 5-10 yards further into the wind, lol); hit excellent 42yd 50club 4th to 1yd, 2.5ft save PAR

    #11 10@1100 dire push on 3rd too long anyway , and shaved hole with 11ft try just too hard to take all of 2nd break. Stroke thrown away.  BOGEY 

    #12 10@130 Had played for forward tee here in practice but L-R wind meant didn't want to risk tree branches so went all out for distance praying for decent lie short of fairway: pulled t shot into rough 30-40, punch out, super 3rd ding 70 to 1yd and made 3.5ft save PAR

    #13 11@700 great dinged 2nd 3W to get on and stay on, too much break allowed on 22ft try   PAR

    #14 12@430 2nd just short of bunker! great 3rd for distance but went right, and left 7ft putt short, aarrgghh!! another shot thrown away  BOGEY

    #15 10@9 pulled t shot 3Wfts and lucky to stay on, safe lag short for PAR

    #16 11@6 into wind again, hideous lie on 3rd downhill sidehill, played decent bounce-on but still well short, pushed 22ft try  BOGEY

    #17 11@730 missed late on 225fbs 97% and short in rough horrible lie, wrong line on pitch but not bad distance, and sunk 13ft putt dinged  PAR

    #18 8@3 D dinged, 3W 2nd to 62, dinged 3rd overcooked and ran on 3yds, but sunk 9ft closing putt phew downhill  PAR

    A 78 was a brilliant score for my ability and only 1 practice round, along with the fact I only made 3 greens in reg. Did wonders for my distance to pin though (I think it was around 8 feet, lol), cause I nailed 2 approaches and the 3rd green was a par 3, which don't count in that stat (I only recently discovered, that only GIR approaches on par 4s and 5s count for the distance to pin stat).

    Now if I could just stop making dumb eff-ups, I could be a force, lol. for instance, taking around 10 shots from the sand (drove a few in bunkers), or having a 3,1 foot breaker (low right) for par on final hole and clicking the meter in the usual spot for that position, cause I forgot I have the starter, which needs to be clicked fairly closer to ding, to achieve the same line. A real fist bump moment. only I bumped the wall ,-9

    fmagnets:

    Whistler 1 is a par 5

    I blame Chambers bay #1 and #18 for the confusion.
