  i had a ball bounce into the flagstick on a 50 yrd approach and it ricochets 30 yards at such a high speed.  WGT has programmed hitting the flagstick similar to hitting the pavement.  Shouldnt have that affect even on a longer approach on the first hit.  Sick of that flagstick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So annoying removing the pin everytime.  An attempt to collect more balls WGT??

  I have seen that exact thing happen in real life. If the ball is traveling fast enough you can get some wild ricochets off of the flag stick.

  OK i had a more realistic one just now.  On the second bounce, it rolled only 4 ft.  OK i take that back....musta been a first bounce.

  sad thing is im sober........so what, hey WGT SUCK MY FLAGSTICK ANYWAY!!!

  Just heard the announcer say last weekend in San Antonio "nothing good comes from hitting the flagstick"

  I've played in many a real golf tourney.  I hit a stick from 180 once on a hole-in-one hole.  I thought I won the truck, but the ball shot off the green at least 30-40 yds and we didn't even make par.  So, sadly, it may be a bit unrealistic......but not a lot.

  Granted, on WGT, I've hit a 7i that hit the base of the flag and shot off to the left OVER some greenside trees and into a house's backyard.  WGT gave me the OB penalty AND took my ball.  All I could do was laugh since that was dialed up a bit strong.

  Either way.............whatever.  I didn't lose sleep.
