  This is the most realistic putting of any game anywhere. That's why a lot of people have trouble with it. Because quite frankly most casual golfers are absolutely lousy putters and it carries over into this game. We are talking about professional tour quality greens that are much much faster and more demanding than what we are used to putting on and it shows in the game. It takes time to learn to putt correctly on here. And with just 50 ranked rounds that is no where near what it takes to learn how to putt correctly on here. What isn't realistic is how most other games have their putting engine set up. Take Tiger Woods for example, on BPB 15 which is extremely fast and down hill almost like putting down a mountain but with Tiger Woods it plays like a normal putt.That's Realistic?????  If you putted that putt here like you do on Tiger Woods the ball would go 20 to 30 feet past the hole and end up completely of the green.  Seems that you may be more of a gamer than a golfer. Gamers who are not golfers or are just casual golfers have a very hard time here because this is very realistic.

  Sorry, but I had to compare stats, kind of felt inclined to. I am not a golfer, in real life have never been in a golf course. Didn't even know the difference between fairway, fringe and green when I first signed in. I remember that in one of my first alternate games I putted from one of those fairways around the green and my partner said ...."what?. U r putting from the green!!!??,.... and quit... lol. But I learned. Started one year ago, played numerous alternate games and my game improved. It takes a lot of practice, and frustration at times. I have sometimes thought of quitting the game after some bad shots. Have tried some other online games. None seems better. The day I find a better game, I'll quit. For now, I don't think there's one more enjoyable. I play mostly alternate(over 2000 games, most 18 holes). Takes time and practice(and equipment). For someone that came out of nowhere, these stats show you that you can get far if you try. I am not trying to show off, just to say that you can do better if you try.
