  IMO the worse feature in this game is the bunker play ,,come on if a ball rolls in the bunker it wont be 30.40.50 % it will be 5/10 at worse ,, now if it flies in from high sure it might plug but if comes out of its plug and rolls it would be 5/10/15

  plus in RL golf you can spin the ball in a bunker sometimes a lot of spin ,,this game you get no spin what so ever ????

   

  also being able to shape the ball L/R  would be nice too .

   

  to make this game realistic these things need work  IMO

  Firstly you are right in all you say. However, to use an old military axiom:

  "When you're up to your butt in alligators it can be difficult to remember your original task was to drain the swamp."

  Let them fix the numerous current bugs before they make more bugs in their attempt to add to the game.

  Why cant you spin out of the bunker?

  The white golf ball on our screen at bottom right isnt there for good looks.

  grab the red dot in the middle and spin away..

  Fade and Draw are not possible , but if you use hook and slice properly you can get a resemblence to it.

  You can spin to some extent, but many of the shots in this video are not possible in WGT.

  #10 takes two hops and stops almost dead. We can do that with pitch shots but not out of the bunker (and if we can, I'd like to know how).

  #7 is a shot by K.J. Choi from the bunker to the right of Congressional #17 where I don't think we can get within 10 feet of the hole without hitting the flagstick.
