I thought we get two shots that are the same

Can someone explain why...

On some holes in the ROUGH, the only choice I have is a SPLASH or full shot, while on the second shot, all are available. Not only is power loss random (that means they aren't the same from one shot to the next even if the lie is exactly the same), club selection is different. That means we really don't get two equal tries at the hole.

Mark, I propose this tournament be redesigned for what it is named. Closest to the Pin. Doesn't matter if you hit the green or not, you get a score based your distance to the hole, as the name says. And, goes without saying. NO negative scores and NO 1000 pt scores.

As it stands now, this should be re-named. Best snap for 18 eighteen holes.

Everyone is brutally aware of these bugs in the PG game. Let's not forget the plugged lie on your next shot if your previous shot was plugged. Believe me I wish they could be rectified but I've long given up hope of that happening.

The Skills Challenge (Points) API provided by Perfect Golf means you get 1,000 points for holing 1 or more of your 2 shots and you lose 250 points for completely missing the green. I can't change this.
