jeffacer62:Wow thats some impressive S/Shots and summary. You must have plenty time on your hands lol
Actually, not nearly enough time, lol! (as witnessed by the fact it takes several days to get to a reply to your post!)
I'm really just including different ways of doing the screenshots as examples to try and make it easier for everyone to know what's needed.
The round description is something I've done for Tough-It-Out for a while now: I take the notes and capture the replays as I play. I find it helps me slow down and really enjoy the round: TIO has always felt the closest to real golf there is on here, and by taking the time to record the details it feels as if I'm experiencing the round much more and considering the shot choices more fully. And savoring each round, even if it takes longer to play (and a damn long time to post) makes my WGT golf more about quality rather than quantity, lol!
It's also about transparency: I can't video record a full round without massive CPU overload and meter craziness, so the many replays (url grabbed very quickly after the shot and pasted into TextEdit) are an attempt to at least put the round on record if anyone cared to question its authenticity, or see how sub-par rounds are possible even with this gear (with some luck and decent course-management).
Nicole161106: Corwyn, is it possible you could get in touch with WGT and get them to implement rules so that there is no need for computer illiterates like myself to try and find out how to post umpteen scorecards, screen images etc?
I really enjoy playing these comps and appreciate the effort you put in, surely WGT could find a way round this?
Hi Nicole,
Believe me, I've tried. We've known about problems with the Restricted-Club programming since early spring, after sporadic reports from players about accidentally keeping certain clubs equipped. Shoe set up a test event and I enlisted several volunteers to test it. We reported the clear findings to WGT and requested a fix, making the strong case that a properly-functioning Restricted-Club feature (for any club sets, not just Starters) would add a lot of interest to the gameplay, and potential revenue, since players may (re-)invest in clubs they enjoyed using on their way up, in addition to providing other players with a chance to feel they were on a level playing field with more experienced players.
Shoe was not hopeful (back in May) that this will ever get on the priority list for fixing, which is extremely frustrating. And we've kept asking!!! My hope has been that if enough players request it, WGT might reassess. Maybe we need hpurey on the case!
It seems absurd to me that they invested the considerable programming time in the first place to add this feature (almost 2 years now, IIRC) and have never gotten to any of the fine-tuning to make it work properly.

@ Liz, Mags, Ian, Roidrage: thanks for the vids and the time references. Very helpful!
alcaucin: Hope that screenshot is ok C ? ( if not , got the 4 pics )
Yes, that Greenshot fits the bil, Andyl. Just what was asked for. Thanks!
mmyers0: ...and I just realized my bag shot doesn't actually show the bag.
Aaargghh... :(
Andivo: I hope that the screen shots go well this time.
Er... no, Andivo. I'm sorry... :(
We don't need to see Driver or Putter screenshots. They're not the problem with the programming.
The 4 clubs that we need to see are the 3W, 3H, SW, and LW (but if you're able to capture a Hover over the bag, then one shot will suffice if it shows 3H or 3W in the avatar's hand, with the 3W or 3H hovered over -- just seeing 'SW' and 'LW' in the bag is enough to prove that fancy wedges weren't used).
Pity, sounds like a very good round.
DaniUnchained: but i hope i'm still in the race for the longest put from the first round
Yes, of course. As mentioned before, putting is not the problem with the programming, so any stats reports from the rounds (matching scorecards and posted score) are acceptable.
MatildaIgaly: Still fun though and keep up the good job Corwyn.
Thank you Mati!
HoylakeHunter: fun comp,thanx organisers and sponsors.
You're welcome Hoylake. Thanks for the clear 4 greenshot pics.
