  it's much MUCH more absorbent in real life than this:

  P.S: side issue,
  the 'http:' prefix is missing from the replay links,
  and so now all generated links look like //www.wgt.com/replay.....etc

  Not if you hit it too hard. Ask Tiger about pins absorbing shots. :-)

  FWIW, if you think you have a chance of holing the shot, pull the pin. That probably would have dropped.

  I realize what you're saying but have another look at it,
  it's really not that fast of a roll, I think it should've gone in
  they programed the stick a little too stiff, it needs a tiny tweak to be more realistic.

  The flagsticks are great.

  yeah but if that happened on WGT the ball would have shot into the stands and across the street

  Naturally of course this depends on the ball you are using.

  EG a WGT B-ES ball will have far greater deflection than lets say a Srixon Z

  then there is spin, how much spin was employed, did the wind favour the deflection or not?

   

  Way to many variables.
