  Hi everybody.

   

  Could someone explain me what i did wrong on that shot ?

  http://www.wgt.com/replay.aspx?ID=d0929eb0-9c17-4318-85a4-a48c00403800

   

  Camera 4 with the sound.

   

  EDIT: I removed the flag right after the shot and went really surprise to hear the sound of the stick and see the deviation with it.
  I immediatly Watch the replay to see if i was wrong and the flag was not there the ball was deviate magically.
  Now i rewatch the replay and the flag is back !? :)

  Funny magic. But i don't understand what happens.

  You can't really remove the stick after the shot. Every shot is determined at the point you click to send it flying. Anything done after that won't affect what happens. In replays, it always shows the flag regardless of whether it was in or out for the shot.

  Golf rule 17-1:  Don't lift the flagstick during a shot.

  The flag wasn't shown during the first time i Watch the replay....
  
  For the golf rule 17-1 i saw a golf round by Fmagnets he constantly remove the flag while the ball was in the air.

  Now i will know.

  I generally put it back while the ball is in air.

  Mags removes the flag stick before he shoots.

   

  Once he shoots, he put's it back so he can have a visual on ball vs hole position.

   

  But as mentioned above, the flag is not really in...it's just a visual...

   

  Same as taking it out after you hit the shot...once the shot is hit, removing the flag only removes the visual aspect of it, not the virtual physical presence.
