Intro Screen Describing Next Hole Too Short

  The display time for the intro screen describing details of the next hole before tee-off is *way* too short in competitive play. I can't finish reading through the information before the screen switches to tee-off.

  On top of that, much of the time the information is cut-off even after scrolling to the end (as if some arbitrary text limit has been reached).

  Please consider increasing to 30 seconds instead of 15, and also make the scroll window larger vertically if possible to allow for a couple additional lines of visible text.

  This information is there to remind you how to play the hole and that's the reason why in competitive mode it's set to 15 sec. (regarding your message - I've never timed it). If this time would be longer then everybody would need to wait longer - those up to 30 sec. as you mentioned --> way to long then ==> makes the game increased by almost 5 min over 9 holes.

  You should play practice rounds to learn the course and there you have time to read this information up & down hole after hole and then when you play in competitive mode it's there just for your reminder and by then you'll know how to play it anyhow.

  GL with your practice

  If it's the same hole information that I get on pc, you're not missing much.

  If the hole intro screen is 30 seconds instead of 15, then while one player is reading the intro, the other player might be doing a quick scan to refresh their memory, and then tee-ing off. And by the time the second player finishes taking their first shot, the first player is ready to tee-off. This wouldn't really add any extra time at all, and provide a good user experience for both players.
