It's happened to me once or twice previously, but not in a while. I only have apparel to maximise driver and 3w distance (level 10 in both), and only put them on for Showdowns. Just played the current Showdown and forgot to put the apparel on for the first 3 holes. Put them on before starting the next 3 holes at St Andrews. It was only on the 2nd tee that I noticed my driver distance was only showing 294yds (should be 312yds with apparel on), and the same on the 3rd hole. And on the 3rd hole it only went 302yds when I know it should have gone further. My 2nd shot on the 3rd hole was with the 3w (par 5 14th hole), and that was showing as 254yds when it should have been 268yds. Unfortunately I forgot to look how far it went, but I'm pretty sure it was a lot less than 268yds as I was still short of the green. I had not looked at the other player's profile until we were on the 1st green, and at that point I hadn't noticed what the displayed driver distance was.
Does this bug still exist?
Nico - is this a known bug, is it on the list to be fixed, and is the error just cosmetic like others have said (the distance incorrectly displayed, but the ball still goes the full apparel-on distance), or is the maximum distance as displayed on the screen even though it should be more?
