  Once again, after maintenance, putting got more difficult. Now instead of just lipping out, its going completely over, or more than half over the hole. Even slowly. Please explain.

  The anti-gravity putt... First time I saw it happen,,, I questioned my eyesight... Took 4 or 5 times before I decided it is real... The testy 3 footer,,, that floats over the hole a foot past...Only WGT can defy God's Law of possibility... And of course it only happens at critical moments... This is a Carnival game,,, and WGT seldom hands out that Stuffed Teddy... This funk and they charge you for items to improve your game... SHAMELESS GREED...   

  If you include such crap and want it to be acceptable,,, don't take a person money for game improvements,,, let play offer such rewards as better balls,,, etc...

  The position of the ball the software calculates relative to the features displayed on our screens has a best accuracy of  something like 1/2 inch.

  That's also why a ball can look on the screen like it's in the rough but the software says, and treats the ball like, it's on the fairway. Or how it can look like the ball went right over the hole and right through the flag stick.

  It's pretty amazing they can take 250,000 or so photos of a golf course, record and model the course terrain, and write software that marries to 2 to that kind of accuracy.
