Let me update my earlier post, my right eye is still hurting somewhat and I have trouble focusing with it....
My friend is an optician and he said what probably happened is I have a stigmatism or something I didn't know about and the flashing irritated it enough to make me notice it, and that was only 3 of the 9 holes...
beware of this new BS feature...it is a hazard, I have to look away before it flashes or I cant even see well enough to play
