Why is there no rain?Why are the flag sticks invisible and the ball runs through them?Why does the ball roll "uphill" fast away from the flag, but it would not roll "downhill" at the same hill towards the flag on the greens?

The Tiger Woods series had that option. The second question is due to update 3 where the putting physics ended up getting a manhole cover. The third question is most likely for RNG which stands for Random Number Generator.

@Aprilbeforemay It could be cool to have weather change for sure. The ball doesn't roll through flagsticks. Everything depends on the shot you made for the roll. The roll uphill has the velocity of your shot, it's not sure that the ball will come back after that only with the slope of the green.

There are some times where the ball stops on the backstop and I wonder why it didn't roll back down. Maybe just the way the different conditions are simulated. Some of the faster courses are quite receptive to strategic shots that roll around the green contours, e.g., the short uphill par 4 at Chambers Bay.

I would much rather they spend their resources on fixing the core issues in the game before looking at the more trivial items like weather.

@ELF014 I think that the add of the weather could be very cool if it done correctly. The weather should affect the shot not only the visual.

I'm not against it... I'm just saying it would be far down my list of things to be addressed.

They did it years ago on there other games. It looks good and it affects the ball by slowing in down.

@Aprilbeforemay nobody has any issue about it.

I've pitched and chipped through the flagstick numerous times. I've even pitched it straight into the hole with the flag in, and it went in like the flag was not there
