  TjW11:

  Hoping they can go back and look at my account and see if something is wrong.

  They are WGT - hope is futile.

  You are the first people to talk about inconsistent XP achievement - IMHO, you'd be better off to give some more information to us.

  Alosso - you seem like a nice person and took time to reply.

  BUT, I think if anyone else were to read this, they would say i gave enough info and details.

  Same pass each morning , same type of play and different points earned. Used 12 hr pass later in the day, again, same 2 types of play and different points. Not consistent. Maybe 3 out 5 may look correct.

  I do not know of a way to get a complete list of what was determined into accumulating those Xpts, except for final screen shot. How will WGT know if this a daily pass?

  So... I suppose I should re state my question.

  If anyone else has noticed any of this happening as of late? Inconsistent XP 's day to day.

  Its not something we all pay close attention to on a regular basis at end of round.

  Sorry to say, your information is vague - e.g. no timing included, no definite numbers - so I have to wave good-bye.

  Have fun!

  There is a simple explanation: you get this big XP bonus once every 24 hours on average for playing every day.

  So when when you play 12 hours later when you get another CC pass you don't get this big XP bonus because you get your CC passes twice as often as this bonus.

  Al - thanks and waving back.

  Mark - I agree with you on more XP bonus every 24 hrs compared to the 12 hr.

  Again, was just curious if it was just me or anyone else noticing the same occurrence?

  That is what this forum is for, correct?

  FWIW,

  I routinely play 1 hole just after the start of the new day.  For the new day just started (January 26) I played one random hole on St. Andrews (Par 4) and I got the following XPs:

  1 Hole Stroke Play                                6

  Hit Ball (# of strokes)                             4

  CDP Bonus (433 days)                  2179  

  CC Bonus Points                                  87

  Total Points                                        2276.

   

  This is consistent with what i get every day playing one random hole.  I hope this helps.

  Last-ditch effort:

  Everyone notices this, as I said:

  alosso:

  When you play every day, the additional CDP bonus exceeds every other number, but only once per day!

   

  TjW11:

  Same pass each morning , same type of play and different points earned.

  What is your "morning"? Which time? Which time zone? Do you know that the new CDP day is in GMT (London) time? At which local time does it start? How does it correlate to your games?

  TjW11:

  I do not know of a way to get a complete list of what was determined into accumulating those Xpts, except for final screen shot.

  It's sufficient to see the points that you get. Write down the descriptions and numbers from each screen, like phred did. Add the time + zone of the respective first shot please.

  TjW11:

  How will WGT know if this a daily pass?

  WGT sees "pass or no pass", and it sees your status of CDP - that's enough. But, we don't see this behind your description, and I don't like to guess for my answers.

  Another last ditch clarification -

  This was CTTH 1 player on Thursday 1/26/2017 at 12 30 am EST. It was my 12 hr pass.

  32 consecutive days played but recvd the day played Xpts earlier.

  CTTH - 5pts

  Exp - 9 pts

  Total of 14 pts with pass??

  Maybe I am wrong to think only 14 pts added to the CC with a pass is way too low??

  or

  should I try and coincide my Daily Consecutive Played bonus with a pass??

  OK.  Finally you completely explained what you did.  Using or not using a CC pass has no bearing on how many points are awarded in any situation.  It only gives points to your CC.

  14 points is the correct amount of points for a CTTH 1 player event.  5 points for the CTTH and 9 points for 9 shots.  Daily bonus points are awarded only for the first action that takes place after the start of the new day, 0000 GMT / UCT.  The new day starts at 8 PM East Coast Time, where you are.

  You played the CTTH you mentioned above at 1230 AM (0030 on a 24 hr clock) local time.  This is 4 1/2 hours after the start of the new day.  Whatever you did after 8 PM local time until 1230 AM local time would be when your daily bonus was applied.  1 single shot of any kind (like a practice shot to warm up prior to a round) is enough to satisfy the requirement for Continuous Daily Play.  The CDP bonus is credited at that time to your account.  Nothing goes to your CC without using a pass then.

  This is why I play 1 Random Hole just after 7 PM CST (8 PM EST) using my pass.  Or if I am not home I will play a random 3 holes on my phone.  It reduces the chances of a disconnect.  i admit it is a carryover from before the CDP was changed.  I developed the habit after losing a few passes due to disconnects during AS matches.

  I hope this helps.  Good Luck,
