is there anyway to post the course altitude somewhere on the tourney settings drop down card.
big PITA to have to research after starting a round. took me till 12 yesterday on the Classics tourney to figure it out.
thanks

Dave,
On the course/conditions page for each event, the elevation is labelled under the course picture.
Hope that helps.

Dave, you don't have to leave the game - just use TAB and ALT together on your keyboard and you can switch from the game to any web page you have showing. Usually best to check on course status BEFORE you start a round though...

Similar to what Dave said, took me 15 holes of hitting it long before I realized I should check the altitude at Gary Player course. By then that round was a total waste. Of course it matters little when I see a (-14) net posted in the second round. I shall make sure in the future to look at the conditions and altitudes before I start.

We show the elevation on our Tourney pages, I think what you are asking is on the cog wheel within the game where you see the stimp etc, not sure if that can be extracted from within PGs API,we will certainly look into it.

Biffa's got it right. i have been asking for this in the PP forums for a few years now
to put it on the setup dropdown empty space there look's like it was made for it.lol
could it be worked somehow into the tourney title.

Dave,
I'm afraid the inflexibility of the API does not allow it to be done, despite our previous calls for the frankly useless line in the info which tells you your own name to be given an editable status. If that was available, we would gladly put the Course and Altitude in there.
What I would really like to see in any forthcoming release is the inclusion of an (i) button alongside the right side icons, which could extract the altitude from the description file (as we do for our site course library) as well as include other pre-packaged information the designer had decided to include within the description file also.
