  I have never played a golf game with physics as UN-Real as this game. I hit the ball at 100 percent into a 21 mph headwind, from the fescue distance should have been 150 yards max with 3 Iron....  SHOT went 187 yards......  ???  Into the wind 21 mph!!!!  From the rough...??? NOT PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE!!!!  landed in rough, did not roll.....  WTF??????

  The good news is the basic physics package WGT uses is the same for all WGT players,

  What ball did you use, and how much spin did you apply to the shot?

  Premium golf balls knock down shots considerably with a lot of backspin applied. Especially the Nike ball.

  Too much spin applied with a premium golf ball is the number one reason approach shots come up short, and then the shot gets blamed on VEM.

  Rookie, Are you saying the ball flew 187 yards?

  LOL I think not - and as Zio said, at least not under this account. I have heard of getting a flyer out of the rough, but this just is not believable.
