  I'm in the same boat as Mantis, still playing, still enjoying, but seems I'm getting worse instead of improving. Hitting more fairways and greens since making Legend, but my 1 putts have suffered dramatically. I have made some crazy long putts on the tourney greens, it's the putts from 10 feet down that have a mind of their own. Some seem to break totally different from round to round, showing no movement, or very little and will react different. Every time I make a birdie I get all happy and yell oh yeah, doesn't take much to get me excited anymore. LOL

  Follow the dots to the hole on the greens Renni...  There could be just one dot in a grid square that we can't see going in a different direction, which cause the ball to do strange things...  It could be the first dot the middle one or last....  there could be 3 dots going left and 4 dots going right....  use the right hand option then.

  When in doubt just hit it straight.

  Post like this is also good too....  it's telling us all that the really good players are having problems too :)

  Hit 195 yarder against 16 mph wind from 25 % rough the other day, and ball passed the hole... 190... I doubt I will get the same even from tee.
