  I am just wondering if it takes awhile or i got a bug?  In this week stroke play 9 hole tournament i got a 276 yard drive but my longest drive profile says 261 still.  Any ideas why?

  PS i was not able to get a replay but for all it helps it was on BB front with a 21 mph headwind.

  Thanks,  THELEGENDARY

  As far as I know, the only way this drive would not be counted in your profile is if you a) did not finish the round, or b) did not have the ball come to rest on the fairway.

  As this was a stroke play tourney, the other reasons would not come into play.

  Wk 42 9 hole stroke, i finished the round with a 40 as you can tell then.  Hope that might help.

  I think since it's a tournament, WGT has to verify all scores in the tourney ... Week 42 tourneys were backed up because of the updates last week - maybe everything is verified by WGT admin. If so then when WGT finishes its Week 42 tournament verification and allocates prize credits, then assumedly your drive will have been verified and updated to your profile. Not 100% sure, though.

  That makes sense, guess we will go with that.  Thanks

  They just verifiy the scores, not the stats from the game.

  As Snaike said for the drive to count it must stay in the fairway. It is likely that you were in the rough.
