Re: *** GL Golf Suggestions ***
Hi, Jake-
A small thing but it should be an easy fix: The scorecard that shows at the end of a game has "IN" after the first 9 holes and "OUT" after the second 9. Should be the other way around. You play "OUT" away from the clubhouse, and then you play your way back "IN." Standard golf nomenclature.

Hi Jack,
I think this is fixed in the newest version (it is on mine), if not then it definitely will be for the next version. Thanks,

Re: *** GL Golf Suggestions ***
What i would like to have is to be able to play the "demo" game or even better the ability to set up 18 holes by for example selecting the first hole from the first 18 games.
Re: *** GL Golf Suggestions ***
I could maybe enable the demo for registered users. I do plan on making some compilation courses again in the future, first on the list is Hardest Holes Volume 2, then maybe an Easiest Holes course. Not sure if you'll be able to make your own though, though it could be fun.

Re: *** GL Golf for the iPhone Suggestions ***
I sometimes wind up taking accidental swings when changing clubs because the entire screen is sensitive to both vertical and horizontal sweeps of the finger. Is there a way to restrict swing selection to only the area on the screen denoted by the word "swing"?
Re: *** GL Golf for the iPhone Suggestions ***
Good idea. Originally you had to double tap, and when I added the Swing button I got rid of that feature. I'll make some change for 1.11 or 1.12 for sure!Texasag91 wrote:I sometimes wind up taking accidental swings when changing clubs because the entire screen is sensitive to both vertical and horizontal sweeps of the finger.

Re: *** GL Golf for the iPhone Suggestions ***
the scores for the old course are invalid. even my 46, i did that on the couse below it, and it scored it to andrew old.
Re: *** GL Golf for the iPhone Suggestions ***
I'll look into that with the next update, it looks like there may be a few problems with the best round (crashing and using the wrong course on occasion).

Re: *** GL Golf for the iPhone Suggestions ***
Hello,
I recently purchases CoursePack 3 and I'm having a problem. It doesn't appear that its able to save scores for any of the courses in that pack (Happy Pines, Ravenswood, Grand Lake, etc.)
After the 18th hole it doesn't give me the option to save my score on any of these courses. Also, if I choose one of these courses and select " Best Rounds" it closes the GL Golf app completely and returns me to my iphone homepage.
Thank you,
John

Re: *** GL Golf for the iPhone Suggestions ***
Hi John,
This problem has been happening for some people, I have a good idea of what it is but won't have a chance to get to it until 1.11 in early April. Until then sorry about the inconvenience, and I'm really glad it's not crashing in the actual game.

Re: *** GL Golf Suggestions ***
Hi, Jake-
I, too, like the "real" courses. Any chance of getting St. Andrews Old Course and TPC Sawgrass (or facsimiles) soon?

Re: *** GL Golf Suggestions ***
St. Andrews Old course is already there, and I'm not sure which replica is next but I think one of the next two courses will definitely be a replica.

Re: *** GL Golf Suggestions ***
Jake, some of the earlier courses have always bothered me in the sense that the putting greens appeared to be on an island with no visible access except by swimming from the fairway out to the hole.
For example, the classic course, and hole 8 in particular. How do i "walk" by myself and my clubs over the water ( graphics somewhat bad here ) to be able to put on that hole? Or perhaps, it's the graphics on my iMaC because the colour of the water is some god awful brown orange. There are some other examples however it's been some time since I've played those earlier courses simply because getting to the putting greens seemed unrealistic.

Re: *** GL Golf Suggestions ***
Some of those holes are a bit unrealistic, I think we'll shy away from making new ones, but I do like playing the old ones sometimes still. As for the orange water, change the season from fall and that will change the water color.

Re: *** GL Golf Suggestions ***
Wow! Which one is the St. Andrews Old Course replica? I haven't recognized it yet, even though I played the auld girl once.

Re: *** GL Golf Suggestions ***
As far as going into a water hazard is concerned, almost every time I do that GL Golf gives me a one stroke penalty and drops my ball on the green side of the water hazard. This lets me off too easily. It should not happen unless my ball landed on the green side of the water hazard and trickled backward into it. If it just goes into the water hazard on the fly, the ball should be dropped behind the water hazard from the green in line with where the ball crossed the line into the hazard.
Re: *** GL Golf Suggestions ***
Ah you're right, I mixed up Jubilee with the new course.
As for the water dropping, I think I know how to fix that, I'll add it to my too do list.

Well, Jake could just add a little row boat in the graphics somewhere, maybe?walter wrote:Jake, some of the earlier courses have always bothered me in the sense that the putting greens appeared to be on an island with no visible access except by swimming from the fairway out to the hole.
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
The greens that get me are the domed ones that are shaped like an upside-down bowl with the hole in the top. When I encounter one of those, I usually just quit the round and try to remember to avoid that course.

Re: *** GL Golf Suggestions ***
Jake, the part where I mentioned dropping on the green side of a water hazard only if the ball hits the bank on the green side and then comes back into the water? I oversimplified during that discussion. That rule actually applies only where the water hazard is deemed a lateral water hazard [red line markings]. If it's a lateral water hazard you have an additional drop option that is not available with regular water hazards, i.e., you get to drop at any point no nearer the hole and within two club lengths in any direction from the point where the ball last crossed into the lateral water hazard. So, in the case of a lateral water hazard, you can almost always drop somewhere on the green side of it.Jake wrote:As for the water dropping, I think I know how to fix that, I'll add it to my too do list.
But if it's just a regular water hazard [yellow line markings], e.g., a pond in front of a green, and the ball hits the bank on the green side and then comes back into the water, you don't get to drop within two club lengths of where it last crossed into the water hazard. You have to drop along a straight line between the hole and the point where the ball last crossed into the hazard and no nearer the hole. This necessarily means that you would be dropping on the near side of the water hazard, not the green side. So you usually end up having to shoot over the water hazard again. You also have the option of just hitting your next shot from the same spot from where you hit the shot that ended up in the water hazard. This is under both USGA and R&A rules, so . . . good luck with this!
I've played courses where the course committee had deemed all water hazards, no matter where they are or what they look like, to be lateral water hazards, but many courses have both. Sometimes the same body of water can be marked as both a water hazard and a lateral water hazard at different locations along its bank.
