my score in pro-flight-G and champ-flight-d don't add up. I short 2 stokes in both.

pm'd mark, stu. i'm not super sure if mark reads every post (i asked in my pm), but it might get more attention if problem posts were...uh, posted, in either the testing or tech forums.

personally, i read very few lobby posts (but every techie post). mark's results may vary. good luck.

Ah....interesting....ok, here's where the problem lies. There are a few different versions of Pinehurst #2. Apparently one of them has a different total par. I believe it's the older version that's different.

Hmm...any suggestions? Remove the old version?

my personal preference is to only use the most recent, updated version of a course. with the exception of those that are mischaracterized as free or universally available.

I'll download the newer version. I dont think 2 stokes is going to help me with roadrunner coming on strong.

Mark,

Pinehurst #2 has two versions that were released..... a par 70 changed (if memory serves me correctly) for the 1999 US Open and the par 72 version which was pre 1999 U S Open.

I would suggest keeping the more current version of Pinehurst (US Open configuration) and remove the older configuration. Anyway IMO what ever the US Open version was (Par 70 I believe) for the 1999 US Open that Payne Stewart won should be the one we keep because that version of Pinehurst certainly has special memories for many linksters.

Below is listed the two course ID #'s

As long as a hyperlink appears for whatever version is used, I see no harm in keeping both/all.

Ernie,

If par for both course's was the same I'd agree to keep both. However players can play both the par 70 and the 72 course (as I understand the original post and the scoring problem) then a scoring discrepancy of 2 strokes will exist for some players every round.

Example: One version is a par 70 course and the other version is a 72. If I shot a 59 on the par 72 course and another player shot 59 on the par 70 course, I would actually be at a disadvantage by two strokes each round to those shooting on the par 70 course. I would actually have shot a lower score by two. Giving away 8 strokes in a tournament before even starting is not fun or fair.

Another win/win solution is to require all players to play the same course. Use one or the other, not both at the same time. Do not allow the par 70 course to be played at the same time the par 72 course is played and vise versa. That will eliminate any and all scoring problem between the two course's.

If I have to buy the course again for 3.99 to get both the par 70 and 72 versions no big deal.

That's all true Dennis. I was under the impression the server was looking at the course_id.txt file for each course, but if it is just the course name or filename, yes, the newer one should be used, espoecially in official events. My previous comments should have included just keeping both for the Arcade area.
