  1st time seeing this, played an Alt shot game tonight with apparel on, but my clubs were showing the standard (apparel off) distances.  Luckily I only blew past one par 5 green. LOL. I don't use any apparel that messes with my irons. Playing PEBBLE BEACH if it matters.

  I think it's an alt game bug. Even if match is set up as apparel-no it still applies the apparel.

  Typically I don't play with apparel ON except in coin games. Stroke, Alt, and Match I play normal, but last night I couldn't find a game, so I was trying all my options, LOL.

  There should be NO apparel boosts allowed, ever in multi-play formats outside of coin rooms, period! Myself, I only have apparel boosts which help with putting, I avoided any choices which increase club distances.

  I'll go a step further, I wish there was no apparel boost, period.  It has split the community trying to play the game. It's going to stay, so I wish WGT would create an ANY selection for the apparel when looking for a game just like all the other options (timeouts, shot clock, etc).

  Back to my issue, I knew I was in an apparel ON game, but eyes still read my normal 3W distance, so I went with it, as the ball went flying over the green! LOL
