    I have hit that branch coming in from the left side as well and it knocks the ball straight down into the bunker. Maybe 1 yard from a great shot. I haven't saved a replay of it yet but will if it happens again. The really bad part about it is that if I remember correctly you almost always get something like 50/60 lie because the ball was knocked straight down into the bunker or at least I assume that is why the lie is so poor.

    I have hit that branch too.  I was excited about the shot, which looked to be stiff to the flag, then 'whack' and my ball dropped into the sand.  It isn't an invisible branch, it's there.  But it definitely occludes the green from certain angles.

    I also hit it and landed in the bunker 60%-70% buried.

    I've hit that branch.  I guess the answer is to not hit so close to the branch next time (wink). My problem with this hole is the tree on the tee shot...everyone that has played this hole, more than once, knows what I'm talking about.

    You just have to play right of the pin on that hole unless you want to gamble hitting it through the tree.  Keep your tee shot as far right as possible and then hope you have a right-to-left wind.  ;)  I almost never consider this a birdie hole unless conditions are perfect.

    It isn't an invisible branch it is clearly visible so not a qlitch.
