  putting-lipout bugs.

  I doubt very seriously there's a bug for lipping out. That's all speed and aim, mostly speed.

  It may not be a bug, Jim, but it sure is an affliction.

  I refer to it as a bug mostly tongue-in-cheek, but there's no doubt there's something wrong with either the graphic or the application of the algorithm. It should be physically impossible to have an 8ft putt, up 2in and hit it enough for it to barely make it to the hole and, if it lips out, slings it over 2 feet.

  I'm quite familiar with centrifugal force and slingshot mechanics and since it was tweaked here it's been off...period.

  Am I going crazy or is it a joke I'm not getting. I can't see the halloween balls anywhere.

  Apologies if its because I'm slow on the uptake.

  Then you realize why your putt did what it did-you hit it too hard.  :-)

  The link below is for the new "Halloween" balls. They are in pumpkin-orange colour and have a "ghostly" purple vapour trail. They're 37 more credits than the regular GI-SD balls.

  It wasn't  an update. It said maintenance not update.
