    Invisible Branches

    Anyone notice that when certain shots appear to be going to miss hitting a branch by a few feet the magical invisible branch appears?
    It happened to me 3 times on one hole about 5 minutes ago.
    I moved my R stick all the way down to get extra loft on my shot so it would clear the tree. It looked like it was going to and then it suddenly struck a "branch" that caused my ball to drop like a cannon ball.
    It did the same thing on the next 2 shots causing me to triple-bogey the hole.

    Yeah it's pretty annoying, that's it's happened to me a couple of times. It seems to happen in all golf games I've played.

    What's even more annoying is when tour tee shot goes under a tree and it looks like the tree is directly above your head so there should be no way your approach shot could hit a branch but somehow is does because apparently any shot you hit goes straight up in the air and directly above your head before it changes direction and goes to the green. Any time my ball gets even close to being under a tree I punch it out just to be on the safe side.

    The camera angle is lacking as to how close the overhanging tree is to your shot and high iron shots appear to go way too high in the air. At least they fixed the issue where if a tee shot defaults to your 3 wood and you decide to use driver it doesn't automatically punish you and goes into a hazard because somehow the arc of your driver wasn't high enough to get to the fairway when it appears like it should easily do so and I've never known a tee shot on golf where it's impossible to use your driver,not counting par 3's.
