  My drive hit a tree on BP #2 and went less than 100 yards. I made double bogey and received the Choke Relief award. I'm only supposed to get it if I par the hole, right?

  i also have some question about that award:

  what happen if you use 3 wood and hit 240yd and made bird? does that count?

  what happen if you are not using driver at all? if you made par or better, does that count?

  Hi guys,

  Thanks for the reports.  Unfortunately there are some new bugs surrounding the Choke Relief and Yips awards.  We'll be looking into those this week.  Thanks for your patience. =)

  Why would that count?

  got my Yips award...saw I was 2 ft out and told myself not to choke...but I did

  Choke Relief...I'm guessing you need to use your driver to tee off

  Andys #1 teed off with my SW 70 yds...2nd shot 3W to @ 70 out...3rd SW to 19ft (yuck) but managed to save par...yet did NOT receive the Choke Relief Award

  I'll have to try with my Driver next time

  Driver did it

  Andys #1 90yd drive with my driver...3W to 44 yds out...LW to 6 ft...saved par

  Got my Choke Relief Award...an award much like " In the Drink " where you have to try something that rarely happens to acheive your goal

  still fun though...dont see me trying for another of either ...also the Diamond level of both are a bit ridiculous

  enjoy

  LOL yeah I got a choke relief on BPB #11.. my drive went well over 200 yards and it seemed that on my short approach (flop) to the green it gave me the choke relief award. I didn't finish the round because I sucked...  but yeah anyway.. that's what's up!

  well! It's relaxing to know I am not the only one receiving an award for almost a complete disaster (d bogey)

  I was fed up with the meter lag (again) this weekend and enjoyed hacking out of the fescue after a 10 yd drive on SA !!!. When I had reached the maximum number of shots they gave me the Choke Award :)

  Talk about adding insult to injury..........
