Kiawah #2 OOB Glitch?

  the wooded / swamp area to the right as you take your second shot.  

  I can't put my finger on it exactly, but there is something awry over there.

   If your tee shot lands too far to the right, you can choose to go up the fairway well left of the green, or shoot over the wooded area directly at the green.  You cannot hit over those trees, or anywhere near the trees.... and its not the ball hitting the trees causing the problem

  I've even had one ball come down on the grass between this wooded area and the green, and after it hit the grass, the ball disappeared OOB

  Anyone else notice this?  Engineers, can you take a look?

  Thanks

  I think I know this spot, it's weird but unfortunately not OOB.

  IMHO, it's a ball grave - they only disappear in the scrub until the shots are maxed out. Only chance I found to get out was to hit back on the path for 30-40 yards and then back to the FW.

  It is not a glitch. Too far right on # 2 is either 30/40 or 40/50 rough. There is no way to hit your 3 wood far enough to clear the swamp. Even if it barely gets over the bank is sloped so much back to the swamp that the ball will roll back in. Best to just take your medicine and punch the ball back into the fairway. We all learned this the hard way. And I don't think it says OB. I think it just says lost ball.

  shouldn't the swamp be a hazard as it is in real life?

  @BradWWood
  
  Are you in the fairway or the rough? If you're in the rough, it's pretty thick over there, which means you probably can't get enough distance to get over all the waste area on the other side of those trees.

  Is this what you are trying to do?

  yes.  did you lose the ball on that shot?  I've had shots land in that grass where you ball landed and then it just vanishes
