  Short 3rd shot short approach to the front pin needs looking at.  I have seen it hoof right 3 times now.

  Happened a while back from the sand twice.  OK avoid the sand, but from the 30/40 not a terrible shot either.

  Just WD from the el cheapo 50 credit RG after seeing a punch from 40 yards go off right at 45 degrees to the 40/50 - 4 yards in.  heck I even missed slightly left....Not deviation, not VEM just a glitch.

  Bug logs all sent and WGT said could not verify it last time. Well WGT pease look harder this time as it's there and it's spoiling it.  Once hmmm, twice...but third time now .....Should not happen at all.

  By all means feel free to drop the 50 credits entry back in my account once you finally verify the issue- I was going along fine.

  I'm afraid to say that this is an old bug. Happened to me a few times as a newbie on LW shots of around 50 yds from before the big bunker, middle or right hand side.

  I avoided that spot shorter or further left - no problems.

  Fair shout.  never seen it until last month / 6 weeks and then 3 come along together.  Like London buses LOL

  Well glad you are here to substantiate it.  WGT CS were unable to verify the fault..........

  Yep...mentioned it to a player who was here a few years before me...always been a bug there.

  Used to be one just in front of the green, on the upslope, on the first par 5 at SA...same type of shot, and one of the par 5's at KI on the left side of the FW around 50-ish yards out.

   

  I haven't seen the last two I mentioned in a long time, but did get the 45 degree sand shot a week or so back, at BP.

  Have experienced it at the Par5 on STA, too, but have related it to the extreme upslope. Like in real golf, it may be difficult to control a shot from there, hence the deviation?

  No such memory from KIA.

  Just to understand better, on BP does it go right immediately off the the club face or after the bounce on the green?

  Immediately, IIRC. It lands in the woods - even the avatar is hidden - partly of fully.

  I guess i could see the slope on SA causing an issue...but this was long before UEL was intro'ed.

   

  I recall Icon saying something like "You're not using the right shot"...thing is, if the shot works 49 out of 50 times, why change the shot?

  As Alosso says, 45 to the right...although I've not been in the woods (as I recall) but 10-15 yards from the pin in the 40/50.

  Not been in the woods either but certainly well into the 40/50.  I would say 10-15 yards from the pin also here.  Pretty much stuffed from there in a RG firing at that pin on champ greens.

  First time was in Alt Shot LOL, felt a right Charlie.  Second time hold the phone no way, and third time worked out something is really up being a bit sharp:)

  Thought worth raising in the forums as CS said unable to verify it.  Maybe they meant my shot that time from my bug log (screen shots and RG number sent).  That hole just got much tougher if laying up in front of the bunker is that bug prone.
