    What does it take to provide an unplayable lie?  In real golf, you can know that a shot is unrecoverable and the rules allow you to take a drop.  Here you are just stuck and have to take a "maximum strokes allowed" on the hole and can ruin a round because the programmers cannot seem to give us a clickable button to allow us to take the penalty and drop.

    Come on, WGT!

    The silence is deafening.  Even a mulligan plus one stroke penalty would be preferable to the current knowledge that you are in jail with no way out, being in the middle of a bush in a sand trap for instance.

    I have had to forfeit from many games because of this glitch. Very unfortunate-especially out of bunkers on St. Andrews.

    hi

    unplayable usually means lost ball but there are some courses/spots where lie is mostly unplayable... usually involves hitting backwards to get out.

    there is no change planned for such as afaik but I would be curious to see exact spots with such issue + bugreport + replay of the issue

    The craziest is on uneven lies Kiawah 17. If you put the tee shot in the water it gives you an unplayable drop.

    How about a shot back to the teeing area? You're guaranteed to hit it onto your tee peg then ;)

    I tried backwards, sideways, punch, full, topspin, 56 wedge, 60, wedge, 64 wedge, everything but a chainsaw.

    if this happens, can you send a bug report within a game and post reply on my wall? thank you :)

    WGTicon:
    if this happens,

    I'd like to see your replay of a saving shot, uneven lies. If impossible, it should be neutralized by the company.
