Have to agree that putting and driving are both way too easy in this game.
There should be a stricter emphasis on hitting a ding, and pulls/pushes should be accentuated more the further you deviate, even resulting in hooks and slices.
At the moment however, when you ding its a disadvantage, you get way more random deviation, and small breaks turn into colossal breaks, small winds turn into huge winds, hence most more proficient players avoid the ding like the plague in putting, and to an extent on approaches too.
