General question on replays

  I have managed to get 12 hole in ones, but as we can only save 10 replays, I decided to shift them into my blog on my profile page - seems to have been a big mistake as now I get the message that the replay is no longer available on most of them.

  Have I lost them forever? How long do blog posted replays remain available?

  If you copy your replays to your blog in order to clear a space for some new ones, then you need to delete them in a certain way from the replays section on your profile page.

  UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES USE THE
  REPLAYS SECTION DELETE BUTTON!

  If you do use the delete button then they will be gone forever and any copies will not work anymore, which you have unfortunately just discovered.
  
  Here is a video to show you how to delete them so that you don't void any links you've made that point to that particular replay & I'm sorry that you lost some good replays Bill. VIDEO 1
  
  As far as I'm aware, replays last many years, maybe indefinitely, I haven't had one disappear yet for no reason.
  
  For future reference, it might be better to share any good shots directly to your blog and skip saving them to the replays section on your profile page altogether. VIDEO 2

  Thanks Scott - I had actually copied them from my old country club forum - but I'll bear your wise words in mind for the future.

  i email all my replays to myself and save them in a folder in my yahoo mail. I also copy the url and save it in a text file.
