Whilst I think these stats are a great addition, there is definitely an issue with long putt distances. I've been credited with a 67ft putt, but I can assure you that if I'd made one that length I would have recorded it and uploaded it to YouTube by now! Alas, my longest putt is still only in the forties on the in-game career stats. Not trying to bash anyone, but hopefully it can be looked at and corrected at some point.

There is no doubt that the longest putt figure is inaccurate.
I still think oswinner was right. I've been looking at more of them and often times the longest hole out number is in fact the longest putt number divided by 3.28, which is a strong indication that putts count as hole outs when they go in. Combine this knowledge with the fact that the longest hole out number is often far LESS than 1/3 the longest putt number and the conclusion is fairly clear. Those putts weren't holed.

Yep. Looking at my friends stats who i played live turn based with and he defo didn't sink 40 ft+ putts on both round 2 and 3. 100% wrong.

No, but it means they have hit every fairway. But... Just to clarify... Getting 100% FIR is more than doable without straight shooting. I do it a fair amount of the time! I'll go further than that - it's actually pretty easy most weeks. 100% for all 3 rounds here and certainly not a straight shooter Looking at the Euro stats though I see a lot of 92.9% which I think means they went for the 11th in one shot and missed it.

I'm taking the putts off until I can get a clear answer from HB next week.

Hopefully HB can sort this. I agree completely with this. It must be how it's working.

Yeah driving is too easy in this game. I got slaughtered on the hb studios forum for suggesting making a viable harder option. It's a shame but it is what it is. I've hit 100% all 3 rounds so far at Victory Road and those were with 10mph winds. Didn't manage it last round tho as I remember hitting a bunker.

The driving is hard enough for a player like me, my percentages on the first 3 rounds are 50.0% 85.7% 92.9% . The last one was a good straight hitting day for me. I was hooking and slicing everywhere on the 1st round. I find the current difficult perfect for someone of my standard but understand that for others who can hit straight or almost straight almost all of the time, it is too easy. I'm not sure if there is an answer to the issue.

Agree 100% we need a harder option or just more variation. Narrow fairways are not the answer. My suggestion way back was to have standard driving maybe 5% shorter than now and then add a "go for it" option that will fly 5% longer than today (so around 285 flat carry) but with some variation. Distance variation of 3% or so (so may only fly 275, but may fly 295 and side to side variation (ball squirt) enough to make even a perfect shot miss a standard width fairway now and then. Of course it will go 285 dead straight occasionally and most results are somewhere in between the extremes. That to me would be a very realistic representation of higer level golf. Either you ht your stock driver swing or you juice it - move it up a bit in stance, more secondary tilt, maybe a tad bit stronger grip to send a low spin, high launch, knuckle ball. It will go longer but it will also deviate more even if you are very consistent just due to the gear effect from not hitting absolute sweet spot, low spin physics etc.

It's not easy for everyone, 3 rounds FIR 85.7, 85.7, 71.4.

That's very good mitchblue, especially as victory road has narrow fairways in places. You sure it's not easy for you? I'd say anything under 50% is struggling. Anything consistently above 80% is easy.

Anything consistently above 80% is easy. Maybe you missed the 71.4 I was just pointing out not everyone is going 100%. And yes, I was happy with 85.7.

I know it's one of this issues that gets brought up but I'm not sure you want a game where others everyone is getting 50%. Plus I'm not sure there's a solution.
Of course I don't use Driver on all these holes, probably why I'm this high..

I know you don't. Hitting less than 60% would get tiresome indeed. I'm not asking for that, people of all skill quality should be able to play the game knowing they can hit the majority of fairways. I just think there should be a harder setting that rewards you with more distance for those that find the current setting too easy. You could stick to your distance and difficulty setting as you feel comfortable with it and when you start getting better go into the harder setting that gets you a few more yards.
