     RG, -13 thru 16 holes on CCC  

    Someone shot my ball out of the sky, I guess... wtf?

    That's crazy right there

    I would guess it had advantages though.  At least it was in the fairway.  The ball was headed to rough.

    Maybe, the game was trying to help you out!

    LOL

    True.  But looking at the first view, it looks like it's going at the left side of the fairway, and the wind was into and slightly from the left.  The ball hits something and drops straight down.  The trees do not overhang the fairway (if that makes any sense), so the ball shouldn't have been close to them!

    I guess that branch has grown since the picture was taken. :-)

    I watched a couple of times and can't see why the ball would hit anything and drop. I got nothing. :(

    I know man

    I was just messing with you

    The ball may have hit the fairway, it would have been close anyway

    You got screwed

    I had one similar on bpb #2, had it saved for awhile and then got rid of it.

    I may have been hitting somewhere I shouldn't have been but I had cleared everything and looked to be a ways past the tree and then I got "thump" and it really was thump.  No hitting leafs sound or anything.

    The game has a few bugs

    I will say that your replay is one of the craziest I have seen as far as mapping is messed up.

    That is a very long distance for the programmers to mess up on

    It's possibly just a single point in the air that got coded "branch" by mistake, probably due to a typo when the branch areas were getting coded.  If they use a graphical interface to draw branches in, it might even be the result of a stray mouse click.

    I wouldn't call it an RG gremlin.  It's there all the time, waiting for the next ball to come along - but really hard to hit even if you tried...harder than getting a HIO.
