Is this a bug?

[hobokengolf]

I've received complaints that the distance shown for a course is often much different than the actual course distance - and since I can't change courses for a customer without having them start from the first hole of another course - it's becoming a big issue for me.

For example - one of my customer favorites is "Pine Valley White Tees" (thanks Craig) - shown on the search as 6035 yards - but once the game is started the actual total yardage of all the holes is just barely over 5500 yards.

I can't think of a reason that this should be SO different - so unless I'm missing something this seems to be a bug.

Good one! This looks like a bug in the score card display.

You are actually playing the full 6035 yards. The in game data also displays the correct yardage. The score card however is displaying the values in meters. OUT / IN total 5500 meters should say 6035 yards.

Hole 1 where it says 361 YARDS on the score card should display 396 YARDS. The 361 is in Meters.

If you actually load hole 1, you can see that the yards is 396. Pin position is at 384 yards.

We will fix this in the next update.

Weird I noticed this same thing but, never thought much of it. Good catch

I'll just tell my customers it's not a bug - but a feature. To teach American golfers the metric system!

Just tell your customers to multiply all the values they see by 1.09361

We will then tell EU customers to multiply by 0.9144.

Problem solved!
