I haven't had this happen to me yet as I am good enough to avoid the water on the 18th *joke* but by looking at the hole if it let's you drop nearer and on the green surely there isn't much the player is able to do.about it? If he drops from a decent distance is that not going to be behind the flag and way out in no man's land? Or are you able to bring the cursor back across the water?

Just moving off the green would be good enough for me if you can't put it where it belongs

Shot -2 1st round, which id of taken before hand. Relatively consistent all way round considering the conditions. Drove it well, never really got close to hav many birdie opportunities, the ones I did get wer from around 20ft+. Im not a fan of this course at all, the last hole is disgraceful imo and in these conditions almost unplayable. I look forward to my next rnd.

Rnd 1: -2 Rnd 2: -4 Rnd 3: -12 Rnd 4: -10 Total -28 Like I said in earlier post I didn enjoy the course at all, had to put up wit a few 92% shots which cost me a gud few shots overall.

I haven't played any rounds this week so this is just my opinion, but it seems crazy to penalize someone for dropping a ball closer to the hole after going in the water. If dropped in this game, my inclination would be to drop the ball in the best place the game allows, because it's a video game.
I think it's on HB to fix their ball drop function, not the players to know and apply rules that the game doesn't recognize or enforce.
It's not like anyone is going to hit it in the water on purpose, so I don't see it affecting play much at all.

Never got it going in this tourney. My swing is just terrible since the update. I'm getting a few under 100% shots but mainly can't hit it straight all of the sudden. I'm not having that problem at all on Xbox so it's definitely a console issue. Made a double on #10 on 1st round after I had to drop where a ghost ball was further from the hole instead of the correct drop. On #18 in the same round I put a 55 yard pitch shot in the water because of 95% and it made me drop 300!!! yards from the hole and I took triple to shoot 75. So I was pretty much already fed up with the game after that. Managed to fight back a little bit and shoot 3 straight 64's to end the tournament. Maybe a top 25 but idk. Hopefully this game he's fixed a bit because it's just not a fun experience right now on ps4. I'm just gonna stick to the designer for now. I'm even thinking about switching over to Xbox on here if it continues. Good luck to all. Impressive to see some of those under par rounds for day 1.

Must be you missed the fairway off the tee and lay up short? That sucks

I've had issues hitting straight post-patch as well. This course ate me alive as I couldn't seem to find the fairway with any consistency. Probably my worst scoring to date. I only chose this course this week because I really despised the choice for the Euro Match-play event. I can't understand how that course was chosen?!
Also, I may have been one of those with the balls being dropped on the green. When the ball drop cursor showed up, I just hit the "A" button immediately without really paying attention as to where it was. I agree with another poster above - don't penalize people for dropping where the game allows. That's on HB to fix.

Small sampling but the 18th is already taking its toll. Luckily I made a par here. The par 5 10th for some reason is playing tough. Attachments:

One hole ruined the tourney for me. Round 4, hole #14. Hit into a headwind and slightly blowing to the left. Hit a hook on top off the wind. Ball landed in the lake to the left of the green. Ok, so that was a terrible shot. Time for a drop right? Usually two options, drop @ nearest point back from where your ball landed in the water or tee up another and swing from the tee box. Well for some reason I didn't get the option to drop and hit a provisional from the tee box, it would only allow me to drop to the left area of the hill. Absolutely no possible shot to get the ball on the green from the drop area with ball severely above my feet, wind blowing @ 9mph to the left, ball lying 40-70% rough, and two gigantic trees in the line I needed to play.
Walked away from that disaster taking an 11 and losing 8 strokes in the process.
71, 65, 61, 70= -17. Would've been leading the xb1 field by 2 strokes. What a season
