was a simple statement not meant to question a soul.

Simple would have had 1 question mark. A string of them indicates otherwise. And why would this even question anything about mapping, which is what I was simply asking?

Well if it was mapped accurately, the ball wouldn't strike the pin almost 2 ft above, therefore the ball would of travelled further forward not hitting the pin at all and landing close to the hole.

What I was implying was , if its poor mapping here and where Mags states actually the hole being an inch below ground, where else does this occur?

As in my first statement "certainly questions the accuracy in mapping ???????????"

Regardless of where Mags says the hole is, that pin is a 7 foot tall physical item with a specific location. The arc of the shot also has a specific path through space. Any point in that arc has a specific location in space. Coincidentally that arc meets the space the animate object occupies and you see the result. It's no different than hitting a tree limb.

I would say that's pretty accurate mapping. The rendering is misleading but that isn't unusual. Look how many times a "phantom" branch has knocked a shot down only to be shown as accurate in different views on a replay.

Fair comment if it hits the tree limb

Then show this in real time, it either hits the pin/branch or it doesn't

If it shows the ball striking the pin/branch when they aren't there , its poorly mapped surely

If I refer to a map and it it doesn't take me to my destination like it shows would I not say that is poorly mapped ?
