  these screenshots are for wgt C.S cause i couldnt get them to fit in the C.S box, well after two attempts & 2 brand new lost balls &( 100 cr entry fee), both went o.b i had 2 W.D, ive played similar lies w/ no problem, very frustrating to say the least..    i simply couldnt advance the ball!  no tree was in the way,clear angle to the green every time i hit  just chunked,                          nothing 2 see here move along..   :)

  yeah true(would have shown a better view) & you can see from the mini-map too, im 50 yards from the pin, it was just very strange, ive been in & seen some unplayable lies, & took my lumps, this was a good lie no abstraction no added spin  but when i tried to hit this time the ball looked like it disappeared into the 3rd dimension i.e land of the lost :) ..                                                                                                                                                                        again this was hard sand  ie. like @ Cabo   15-20%"hard sand" lie..

  Sometimes, like in those weird bunkers, you can't 'advance' the ball forward, I sometimes would have to hit the ball backward, and if you don't have a view from your avatar (which I'm guessing happened to you on this shot) you have to use overhead cams and/or the mini map to set your aim point.

  yes agreed, ive hit backwards many times outa funky lies or bunkers when the ball is to close to the wall & ive played Whistler many many times especially when it was free 4 the WGT nation & actually been in that same lie lol never having the shot act the way it did!  i always double check w/ the mini-map on uphill elevation or bad camera angles too & have many ranked rounds, this is a first, weird just weird..
