  This has happened to me at least a dozen times now. Last time I "Saved" a shot like that it mysteriously would not play again, just got a blank screen. Can't explain it either, but IT IS FRUSTRATING! My heart goes out to you Neil.

  man... look;d like it shudda went in ... didn't seem to strong... but must have ben .. according to NEWTON ..and his brilliant theory.. 

  he was way ahead of his time... think the theory was in"BETA ",,,awhile before it became law...  :)

  shake it off... nice putt... peace

  Not worried about it too much...but it was during a ready-go so that was unfortunate..but I just wanted to WGT to look at it....it appears to go right through the flagstick,,,it definitely did not lip out.

  The person who writes the programs for wgt has no idea the  laws of physics. i hit a ball 290 into a 25 mph wind  then commign back with the wind my ball went  235. impossible. the program writter has no ideal what they are doing. i have also hit many putts right through a flagstick come onm give us a break.i hit one put over the hole ans it  stopped  2in on the otherside no way the weight of the ball wold make in go in.

  Good putt, just a little too fast.

  If you listen closely you can hear it bounce.

  While I would agree that would be the explanation, Danny, I've hit numerous putts that have hit the hole much faster that have fallen.  Think of all the 2 foot putts that we hit 5 feet.  They have no problem dropping in the cup.   Uphill or downhill has not made a difference.  I really do see this as just being unlucky, but I hope it's not a programming error.
