    I hit this approach shot and it should have stopped next to the pin, instead it bounce off the green. I think this is a bug in the system, even if it hit the hole with the flag in it shouldn't have bounced like it did.

    What did this hit? I should have been next to the pin not over the back of the green !!!!

    At least it stayed on the course.  You should see what some poor feckers have had happen.

    Yes, except if it hit the flag stick should not have bounced in the direction it did - it should have gone off at a lot more of an angle.

    If it hit the bottom of the hole (with the flag stick in, which it was), it couldn't have bounced out like it did (there is bearly enough room for a ball to fit between the flag stick and the hole and impossible (at the angle of approach) to hit the bottom of the hole and come out on the path it did. Just does not happen in real like that, thus the game's physics is wrong. 

    Also, this view shows it missed the hole altogether and thus should have stopped on the green (with full back spin, which it had) pretty quickly.

    So which was:

    1) it a bad bounce off the green - should not have happened

    2) A bad bounce after hitting the flag stick - it should have gone off at a worse angle - and to have it the flag stick and continue would have needed to have bounced just before the hole and clipped the flag stick as it passed - oo views show this happening

    3) clipped the flag stick first, on the way down, and missed the hole - no view shows this happening

    4) hit the hole and flag stick together (which some view seem to indicate) and thus should not have bounced like it did.

    Q: Does anyone involved with WGT actually read these bug reports?
