I've beed trying for two days to get the gold day at the beach award and when I finally got it no award showed up and nothing in the awards stats in my profile either. It didn't even give me a silver and I shot a 35 with seven in the sand.
There have been documented issues getting this award on Kiawah, a lot of shots out of (what looks like sand) don't count as sand shots. They are looking into it.
