Selecting 3 wedges

  I don't use a hybrid.

  I have 3 wedges  at 100yards,  80yards and 60 yards.

  I did not appreciate being on (well just off !) the  first green in a head to head to find that my trusty 60yard wedge was not in the bag !! Trying to adjust for the 80yard  was a bit of fun though. 

  (Please don't talk to me about degrees of loft, sand wedge/lob wedge,etc. I'm not interested. Distance figures are all that's relevant for WGT).

  It took me ages to figure out how to achieve this using the Edit Equipment screens. Eventually I figured it out, but it was NOT obvious. It was really not clear how to deselect  the EZ Starter hybrid and replace it with a  wedge. TBH I'm still not sure exactly how I did it. How about a DESELECT button ?

  I know I can go back to the Flash version (which is still "better" for accuracy/my scores ) to edit the equipment. (but see other thread about Stand-Bag....)

  in Home on settings the 4th option is customize equipment.The options for  that are normal and advanced. Select advanced and you can replace the hybrid with your 60 yard wedge,

  In the future, that wedge punches 68 and is easy to choke down.  ;-)

  A lot can be said here, but I'll keep it short and sweet.  The game has a million glitches, that still aren't 100% fixed.  With that being said, don't ever be surprized with anything that you find.  I have had this discussion with many of the members in my club, and a bit of free advice follows:

  1.  prior to getting ready to play, simply check your inventory, all the right clubs, correct ball etc.   

  2.  Prior to making a shot, check to see if your caddy has given you the correct club

  3.  If putting, make sure that you have the correct scale

  all this only takes a minute on your part, and saves a whole lot of aggrivation, during play. 

  As in real golf, make this a pre-shot habit !

  Do not trust the caddie, KNOW what you want to hit. The way the game suggests clubs is not dependable in any fashion, it's purely a numbers choice. Treat the caddie's choice as a suggestion and go from there.

  By way of an example, I have the 60-80-100 CG wedges. Regardless of where I'm at, the caddie will NEVER offer me that 80W. I could be 70 yards out and I get the 100W.

  Yes - thanks to all for taking the time to reply. Makes a change, too often these days you get a few of the arrogant trolls offering their unhelpful opinions... :-)

  Can't believe how different the game is  to play. Not better or worse, just different...
