  If they had any good code writer's.They could fix that.so the ball would come off the flag the same ,or close to the way it does in real life.But till then.Its like hitting a cement pole,with no give.But since it did hit the flag  on the way down.back spin turned it to forward spin and ran

  If anyone on here watches real golf, a PGA tour player hit the flagstick recently and the ball reacted very similarly to those 2 shots.  If you go to youtube and watch a few videos of a player named BolloxinBruges you would notice he removes the flagstick on nearly every shot into the greens.  Remove the stick and problem is solved.

  Very unfortunant :(  What I dont understnd is how after the ball bounced off the flag then hit the green, but when it hit the other side of the water bounced back toward the water..I would think that it would keep going back toward the fairway??

  You're a sensible man. I just wasted 235 credits on three new balls, and within 15 shots of taking one out of its packet, this happens

  Where is the justification - other than "we want more money, loozah!" - for this sort of thing?

  I have played Kiawah a dozen times (and more) and NEVER lost a free ball. I've played it twice since buying balls and lost three balls in less than six holes.

  Money grabbing arseholes comes to mind.
