    fmagnets:
    4 pics would suffice if you want to do it this way - 3wd, 3H, LW and SW. And I know you're technologically gifted enough to manage this as you already do 4 pics for the stats ;-)

    Mags is right: these 4 extra pics would suffice if anyone can't figure out the bag hover...

    but 5 seconds of google searching was enough for me to find out how to do it with Windows: e.g this link (including their quick video)

    How to Take a Screenshot of a Drop Down Menu

    One thing I love about my Mac is the ability to just click Command + Shift + 4 to take a screenshot. It will even take screenshots of right click menus or items I am hovering my mouse over. Sometimes those things are really important! I had difficulty figuring this out on Windows 7 because Print Screen did nothing, but the amazing Beth Kranz knew how to do it!  Here you go:
    1. Open up the Snipping Tool.
    2. Hit the Escape button. 
    3. Bring up the info/text you are trying to grab (right click, hover, whatever you need to do). 
    4. Press Control and Print Screen at the same time. You should get the same crosshairs you normally do with the Snipping Tool. Use your mouse to select the area you want to grab and work as usual with the Snipping Tool. Voila! 
    Not having a PC, I can't test this, but it was written with Windows 7 and presumably still works. Edit: Windows8 & after seem to not need the Escape step:

    Capture a snip of a menu

    1. After you open Snipping Tool, open the menu that you want a picture of.

    2. Press Ctrl+PrtScn.

    3. Tap or click the arrow next to the New button, choose the kind of snip you want, and then pick the area of the screen that you want to capture.

    Andy: if you want to get mad about this, get mad at WGT engineers for inept programming and help advocate for a fix. If it were my company, I'd be thinking if there can't be confidence in the results of tourneys set up specifically to be level basis across the board, it would reflect on the credibility of the whole game, and I'd want to get it fixed pronto!

    Cool it with the technobabble Corwyn!! You'll have poor Andy rummaging around with his nut-sack ;-)

    I personally just press printscreen, open up Paint, click paste, and save that image. Then load that file to the image hosting site etc.

    Couldn't do it as to 'grab', I had to move cursor, thereby not hovering anymore.

    AAAAARGH !

    I've read and re-read to make sure that if I stream, beginning with the game client and equipping the clubs and balls, and the entire round (non-stop video stream), I don't need any screenshots. I was playing and couldn't remember what was needed so I took screenshots of all clubs, putter, and ball on the last hole right before my final putt. It's all on video, too. Will the video be sufficient? Not that I am in the running for anything, but to be safe I wanted to ask.
