  I mention this OVER & OVER, but WGT doesn't care a damn, you could aim to compensate wind, DING shot yet the shot gets taken from the default aim position, PIN, not where you've moved marker. Makes the dinged shot react like you've missed ding on side of wind.  Hapopening more & more frequents.  Either its a FLAW, or programmed into game to combat auto dingers or deviation

  After further review, you are correct. What i thought was rough was just darker fairway.Still find it hard to believe 60yds of run uphill.Hope this happens to me in reality golf.Haha. thanx for the input

  I'm not saying that this is the cause but it does happen to me a lot.

  I have a habit of looking at shots from a lot of angles and from time to time when I do I end up with a reverse angle, which of course reverses the wind.  I click back with the shot in my head only to hit and realize that I have completely botched the shot because I factored in the wind backwards.

  I might be the only idiot that does this, I'm guilty of it on putts from time to time as well but while I'm not defending the glitches in WGT, I do know that I make plenty of my own.

  Hello jzepol, watching the replay, your ball first landed at 158 yards and hits the down slope of a small hill. The downslope propels your ball forward and you hit another downslope with your second bounce and that is why your ball went farther than normal.
