  Hit drive down right hand side just over road by the fence (following a meter jump no less) - got a message saying ""immovable obstruction ..free drop"  ...and was put back at the tee for my second ...erm no!!!!

  Thx for costing me any chance of levelling the mplay game!

  thx for info ..makes it even worse that they know about the issue and have done nothing to fix it ...still does not absolve them from having not sorted it out..so ...give me the option to play the shot despite the immovable ostruction as I will choose to foresake a free drop that costs me 250 yds.

  no choices here, it would need user interaction

  and the shot against a fence with restricted swing would require a lot of programming to get it correct

  Hi WGTers !
  
  Similar thing happened to me ...
  
  After a drive on hole 18 the ball stopped on cart path, and I got a message Immovable obstruction, free drop, but I was back at tee again.
  
  Then I choose to watch a replay and recorded it, I exit the replay and then I am where the free drop should be, not at the tee again.
  

  So if you ever happen to end up on that cart path, and the game brings you back on the tee, watch a replay first then exit and play your second shot from a free drop a foot or two before the cart path.
  
  Here is a video of the replay. You can't see me back on tee, because I recorded only after I started replay. I can't screencast while playing, because of my computer performance. If I start recording while playing, when I swing, the swing meter goes skipping like crazy.
