    Was playing a bracket on this, got to the 17th, my ball hit the concrete and bounce over the back. i was left with a impossible shot. Tried all different shot types and angles getting out, lost 3 balls in the water even though it didn't move. had to max out with ruined my score. so would like my 3 balls back and my credits for this tournament and what i would of been guaranteed in the semi final.

    You're right at the cusp of OOB with the bench in front and brush lie. The only shot from there is to use the cart path and onto the mound. You're aiming way too right in the image

    OK, I just wanted to be sure you had done that.  That is a really strange place for the ball to end up and not go OOB on the shot that put it there.

    I'm wondering if hitting it directly into that pillar (or whatever it is) would do the thing. Sometimes these obstacles actually don't stop the ball. But if it had bounced off of it and OOB, the next shot could maybe be from another spot?

    i tried all different angles to get out of there, My ball never seemed to move though, i dont mind having a penalty shot but i would of been there all day and could not of got out. Clearly would take a drop in real life but they dont do that on here so this situation shouldn't be allowed to happen if you can get out. 

    Tried hitting straight through the pillar but again no movement. Randomly had water hazard like 3 times at all different angles so no idea what it was on about.

    A bug????  How about owning up to a piss poor shot...LOL  I've been in lots of mulch and brush that caused me to max out my shots.  If you get balls back I'll be surprised. 

    Lesson learned:  Don't hit a shot like that ever again. :-)

    P.S.  This is one of the funniest posts I've read in a while on here...thanks for the laugh!

    ha bit harsh, tried getting on the green in 2 but miss dinged and it hit the concrete wall around the green and bounced over the back......

     

    Got a sleeve back as well just lost my semi final spot in the bracket because of it.
