  Was playing with another guy, back 9 at Kiawah, we arrive to hole 17 (par 3 over the water), back pin, i play long to left, the other player drop short into the water, its ok, can happens, but....

  The DROP is near the tee, but in the SAND!, he hit, again in the water...& again, he lost 3 nike balls in a ''single shot'', i really dont care...because i use starter balls, if fall in the water not loose more than a added hit

  There you have ANOTHER glitch to fix ''topgolf'' guys, plenty of them...in ALL courses, spend less time in create unuseful cartoonish things & try to fix the courses, like the borders of fairways in Merion..etc

  This is an old acquaintance - hasn't been fixed in my six+ years here and won't be, obviously.

  It's one situation where you better quit the game.

  Very bad suggest

  Why?

  You can't pick up the ball or find another spot, so, to continue, you have to max out the shots on that hole. That leaves zero chances in strokeplay and a diminished chance in any match.

  Most certain outcome is one to two lost sleeves.

  Why not simply leave the game behind? It's a game, nothing serious!

   

  Aside: It might be worth a try to putt in this situation - it's well possible that the ball won't be lost, but no guarantee!

   Like alosso said, it's not a new problem...been like that since the back 9 was released in 2009.

  When I hit it in the water,  the drop seems to be in one of 2 places ... the sand or  just somewhere  ahead of the tee box ( and strangely, the ball is teed up). From the bunker, it's kind of insane to try and aim anywhere near the green because it will most likely never make it.

  Better option is  to pick a spot to lay up short of the green ... or even hit it backwards to the tee box.... just get it out of that bunker. Is that an ideal solution? nope, but hitting into the hazerd is supposed to be a penalty.  Take your lumps and move on.

   FWIW there are a lot of spots where hitting backwards/sideways is the smartest solution to getting yourself  out of trouble

  I already know this is not a ''new problem'', but that is not the point, there are a glitch & must be fixed...THAT'S WHY i wrote this post (in the BUG LOG)

  ''Quit the game'', ''forget & move on'', yes...i not need that advice of nobody, is the easy way & the most clear (sorry if i not share that with you)

  I dont think this be a major problem to developers in fix it, just whould be nice if they do, because have not sense at all, even in a computer game, the one suposed to be ''the best''

  Ah, the subjunctive!

  They haven't in eight+ years (and there are a few more of those situations), so why should they start now?

  "They are WGT, hope is futile!"

  And, they don't listen to the forums...

  You, like many others in this forum have the mania to comment on ALL posts just to say redundant and extremely obvious things, of course you have more than eighteen thousand post

  Stop trying to show that you know about everything that happens on this site, because it is not like that, just to comment on what is obvious

  If wgt ignores the forum it's a shame, the bug was reported, end of story

  Actually it was reported years ago and never fixed and THAT should have been the end of the story, but alas it isn't!
