TarheelsRule: Does a drive that isn't in the fairway count toward your long drive?
No it doesn't TR unfortunately.
I want to address the fairway bunkers. There needs to be a 360 degree view implemented to get out of the fairway pot bunkers. There is no way to hit behind the avatar. It will turn around and hit sideways, but it isn't an accurate shot at all plus it don't work to get the ball out.
Anyone else experience this pot bunker issue? I've used every wedge combination along with hitting punch, flop, and full swings. I did manage to get it out on the seventh shot with a 64 degree wedge, full swing, and the ball landed on the top edge of the bunker.
With a 360 degree view, we can turn around and flop the ball out. This will give a somewhat fair advantage when playing in a match play game, otherwise if you go in a pot bunker, up against the wall, it's game over guaranteed every time. Your looking at up to five shots or more to get out. Not hardly realistic.
I hope you give this some thought WGT.
