  I was playing for CC credits ... 18 hole stroke play on Best of Par 3, practice round.  I get to the tenth hole and the first swing, and I get this ...

  

  If I'm not mistaken, one takes a mulligan AFTER they take the swing.  It's kinda like a free "provisional".

  I am guessing it's easier to always have it rather than add more logic to wait. I agree, it's not ideal but imo not a deal breaker. I want us to fix other things first before checking on this :)

  Hey Icon ... no offense meant but I do know a bit about programming.  How hard is the code statement  ...

  NoMulligan = True

  or ...

  FirstSwing = True

  at the end of the 9th hole.  This is the only hole where it shows up on the first swing ... hole #10 when playing an 18 hole game.

  Since there are "Play 9" and "Play 18", it seems like there's a boolean test field being used to trigger the "NoMulligan" and "FirstSwing".  The programmers just oopsed this one.

   

  It is a bug ... and a really easy bug to fix.  You're trapping this on every other 1st swing except #10 of an 18 hole game.

  BTW, if you click this on the first swing, the game locks up!  I guess it's looking for a non-existent swing.

  Please do what you do to let the "engineers" know!

  But...you didn't know this at that time....

  Locking up the game should bump its priority up a couple notches Icon.

  Nice work Kat!
