Alternate Shot Glitch?

  My query may have been addressed elsewhere but I'll ask anyhoos:

  Is there a problem when trying to set up an alternate shot game via laptop?

  When trying to do so I can choose whatever game options I prefer but can't change hole/tee locations, nor wind/green speed.

  Hole location is always hard if there are multiple pin positions.

  Tee box is always easy

  Wind always low

  Green speed always slow

  Is there a workaround?

  Any input appreciated, thanks.

  There are 2 ways to set up an alternate: Scored and practice mode.

  Regardless what it says in scored mode, the tees will be the longest ones, the green speed will be 13 and the winds will be moderated.

  In practice mode only you can set up the conditions at will.

  Yup, got that.

  Aware of the above.

  So despite what I see on game option screen in scored mode the above will apply, got it.

  Superb, that's what I was after.

  Cheers.

  Not sure Scott  it's been a while. Though I do recall in old flash version that I'd have to mention to players on tee green speed was 13 etc.

  Sorted now thanks to Yiannis' reply.

  Cheers matey.

  You are welcome. On flash, you needed to mention to other players about 13 greens cause they were lower tiers (perhaps tour masters, masters etc) and the game was ''locked'' on the standard conditions of the highest tier player.

  I didn't know that was a concern .

  Just because you don't know something doesn't mean everyone else is as ignorant.

  Just to clarify below is what the initial query was referring to.

  The top image is what is displayed in scored stroke play multi-player games.

  The bottom image is what is displayed in scored Alt-shot games (note the green settings etc).

  

  The 'concern' was that the slow greens is what would be played on in-game.

  Yiannis cleared that up.
