  Thanks for the feedback folks....

  But... a high, lofted 45 yard wedge shot on a downward flight cannot rebound directly back 35 yards. 

  Ain't possible. Good to see that at least one person agrees.

  I stand by my assertion.

  You are correct mate. Not possible. I had a shot on Kia. #1 from 80 yards hit the flag stick and bounce back toward tee. Ball hit and bounced once and went 430 yards OB behind tee box.

  LOL yeah that is real. Wish i still had replay. But i have seen many others just like it.

  Ball bouncing off flag stick and going 430 yards is like real life golf hey?

  Yeah smoke another one. Might want to get in touch with the programmers of this game. I hear they got the good shite.

  I just hit a 9 iron 130yds.  It hit the hole and then shot out about 6 feet off the ground at 2 o'clock travelling 162 yds into the rough and then disappearing!  That has to be 100% a glitch in the software.

  You want a glitch? Here's a glitch (link in first post of this thread):

  A golf ball does not rebound 35 yards off of a 'flexible' flagstick.  (see attached saved shot)

  It's a movable pole, not a brick wall. Bouncing back 30 plus yards is impossible.

  If your ball hit the stiff end on a downward trajectory it’s very possible. I had several that went 15+ yards but certainly nowhere as severe as yours. Sometimes the planets just aligned I guess...

  To realize that a 15 or 20 yard ricochet is realistic just look at what happened to Tiger Woods a few years ago onl the last par 5 at the Masters.

  I have had it happen 3 times in 5 1/2 years. One I hit the flagstick dead on and came straight back at me and landed at my feet.

  Such is life

  +1
  
  They've replaced balls for me even though I haven't had a replay to show them. I simply described what happened. They took me at my word.
