  First, I forgot to send a report but I did take a couple of screen shots. This was during a CC tourney.

  

  

   

  The only difference is the location of the aim arrow. Notice the difference of the amount of downhill from photo 1 to photo 2.

  You can right click on each photo and view them in new tab for a larger view, if your eyes are as bad as mine are.

  i read veiw 1 as 2feet or 24 inch's and veiw two as 23 inch's  seems bout right to me unless i am missing something ?  (*¿*) ,lll

  You are correct! I didn't notice the first photo said 2 ft. I can say I have never seen it shown in feet before. Sorry about my oversight. As I stated, my eyes are not what they use to be. I wish I could delete my post before I get made fun of. Oh well, life goes on.

  YUP - seems perfectly fine to me.

  24 inches vs 23 inches.    Seeing as the display only shows to the nearest inch ---   it could be 23.51 inches vs  23.49 inches     ie.  almost no difference at all!

  There's nothing to make fun of, Dave, this would be a real easy mistake to make, misinterpreting the elevation change. Who here hasn't done the zombie golf thing and roboted their way through a round? Maybe watching TV, rocking out or whatever. You peep the numbers, do your math and watch in horror as the shot rolls off the other end of the green.  LOL

  Been there.  ;-)

  Easy mistake to make, and let he who is without blunder stone the first cast...or something to that effect.

  Shoot one very good player didn't notice that some elevations were in inches for years. And many times  complained that  many of his approach shots were going long when he knew he played the shot correctly for elevation.

  At least I know I won't be the one shot.

  I think Born meant to put a comma after shoot.

  Indeed, 'twas the lack of a comma that gave me pause.
