Martin333:
Played Olympic Club was 3 under till i got to hole 5.
I hit the overhagning from tee, there is no way USGA would allow a sitiaution like that, players has to have a fair chance to put to the ball in play. Problem is you cant if the wind is from the right on that hole, only if you punch a iron on a 499 yard par 4. Luckly i birdie the nex 7 holes so i was doing fine untill i got to hole 16. I hit a overhanging tree again this time it was my own fault, but when i got to the ball i tried to knock onto the fairway but my ball went left eventhough i was aiming right, my ball was i the WEED 5 yards from me and my ball was LOST.... wtf i could pratical see the ball, well WGT kindly dropped me one of my own balls i tried to use the camara to see why i had hit the first ball the way i did but i couldent find an angel that i could use so i hit the ball again, LOST ball again.
This crap happens to often, and how can it be lost when you can see where it went
WGT thx for destroying my round with crap game design '
I would like the to ad a replay of the scond shot but i dont know how to
Firstly i like to say that hole plays here just like in real life. The over hanging trees play a major factor especially from the back tee.
Just ask Bubba Watson that took a 10 i think in Open when played there. Most of the pros were very happy to walk off that hole with a par.
That tee shot needs to played high and to the right. And.....with wrong wind you have to be perfect. Sometimes on that tee a miss ding equals trees for sure.
Now on your second shot i watched it over and over. Did look lil strange, but looked like was aiming into the trees.
Now on the first par 4 you were talking about ...yes ball needs to be very low and with wrong wind sometimes must play smart, and will leave a very long second shot. Another very tough hole. Which also played just like that in the Open.
Most of the pros took a beating on that course. I doubt any of them would be happy to play it again..lol.
Never know though sometimes when very close to trees crazy things happen.
Very unlucky mate. But don't feel bad i have done the same many times, it happens trust me.
