I know I am not very good at this game, but I was a professional caddy, and never seen greens shaped like bubbles with the pins on top. Somebody sure made a great course in to a joke. There are no greens, on any course with these speeds or shape.

WGT laser maps the topography of the courses as part of it's program to bring us these US Open venues. They're very accurate in their work.
What you may be up against is the setting up of Pinehurst as you played it. I see you played the US Open qualifier. There's no Tier based tee boxes or green speeds. We all have to play the qualifier as if we're Tour Legends. We all play from the Championship tee boxes and the green speed is the fastest at Championship Speed. You being in the Am Tier may have never had the opportunity to play any of the courses with the green speed so fast. With that it takes a lot of practice and experience to play approach shots to the greens and hold them. Also, being able to putt the greens at the speed they're running. In your case using the Starter Clubs and playing Championship level course setup is the hardest playing combination there is on the game.
Bottom line I believe WGT has brought us a remarkable representation of all the courses re: the topography of the fairways, greens and surrounding areas of play.

Well said. This is by far their best course yet, better than Merion, and Merion blew me away.
