  The WGT course designers and decision makers need to really pull theirs heads out of whatever hole they have them in when it comes to the putting end of this game. There are so many unrealistic scenarios and inconsistancies it's enough to drive a man nuckin futz. I mean come on....a 2' putt which the dots are not moving that quickly breaks 2'. I would bet 401K plan that WGT has not only lost many of players whom have just grown frustrated the difficulty of the putting but also many of us (me for one) who refuse to sink any more money into this site for the same reason. I have actually grown to find playing this more frustrating than playing the real game of golf. And found many other players on here whom feel the same.

  Save this garbage for the masters who have the equipment to plug the ball 18" from the hole and make putting a little more forgiving for the rest of us.

  I believe putting is perfectly OK in this game, none too easy, none too difficult. No change is necessary, in my opinion, and I'm no Master player. I also like the introduction of variable green speeds, it makes putting all the more interesting.

  I like the greens too....also see the search box and type in 'The Beast' after reading all those posts, and there are a ton of them you will have a better understanding of why that can happen.

  I would also guess with my experience trying to help newbies that you may be playing your shorter putts to soft. If your putts dont have a good pace, the break of the green can also be pronounced just like in real golf.
