  I am not the best at this game however due to course errors at Chateau Whistler, I ended loosing 4 Callaway Z balls and ended up withdrawing after a glitch on the 10th that cost me  another ball.  The shot wouldn't even give me the player view to take the shot so I aimed hit perfect and yet again lost a ball, out of bounds. I saved the shot but dont know how to link it to this post.

  Beautiful course but beware it could get expensive when it comes to balls!

  Hi

  Thanks for the report. As I saw the replay, few questions I want to ask to clarify:

   

  1. how did you get there? It's like 30-40 yards off the flag and it's a very short shot, so it made me wonder.

  2. that area is full of deep grass and rocks, so you likely had horrible lie which may have limited your options, such as going for the green. many times I have to play sideways to get out of it.

  Believe it or not it went there from a bounce off the green ! And it was hard to do a follow up shot because I had no first person view, the view from the replay was all I had to work with, damn ball eater hole !

  I lost a ball that bounced off the fairway onto a path then OB.  Nice one WGT.

   

  I love this game because of the photo realistic courses, Whistler looks like a cartoon version. IMHO.

  I wont be playing there again.

  You are aware that WGT didn't make this course, Tru Golf did, right?

   

  That explains the lack of quality in the graphics department.

  bounced off the green? really??

  find that hard to believe...your just not off the green, your in no-man's-land !!

  i'm intrigued by this 1...so you hit a full shot with short iron? or did you use "punch" with a driver? :)

  WGT forget that we have different cultures. That Whistler will be nice to the asien countries, but not for us.
