O.B Markers?

  Why can you not put O.B Markers, or at least show on the mini map on game client where the O.B boundaries are on a particular hole? Do we have to lose a ball to find out that missing the FW Left by 10 yards is O.B?

  Sounds logical. It should be noted in the overview also

  Possibly as this would introduce a modicum of transparency.......that may be just asking for a wee bit much.

  Is not the edge of the minimap which actually tell you the place where can be ''O.B''?, maybe be not extremely precise..but i dont think more is needed

  Do not use O.B. and Lost Ball interchangeably.  They are not the same.

  I have actually found the mini-map reliable.  If you don't see it there, do not shoot there.  I tried going into #18 fairway off #1 on Bethpage.  It did not work although by yardage it should have. Off the map.  I have also gone to left fairway on 2nd shot on St.A #14 (which is in map) and it does work.

  But for example, on EH #1, you miss green short in the crap, that is not OB, that is lost ball.  Same result from golf scoring stand point, and I do not like to lose balls.

  Not on every hole. Some of that brown is OB on some holes.

  Ask me how I know.  LOL  ;-)
