    SeabrookFlash:

    When I putt, I always putt from the reverse screen.  That way I can see how my ball acts as it comes closer to the hole.  It also gives me a better look at how the green is breaking as the ball approaches the hole. If you aren't doing this, you might try it.  I couldn't putt any other way and it has saved me many strokes.

    I have tried that. I have been sitting on this game for about 5 months and over a 1000 rounds now.

    I have heard all of the testimonials r.e. "WOW, I just shot a 51! It's beyond wrapping this feeble noggin of mine around, a 50, for 18 holes.

    I am going on my 3rd putter for the last week, blew about 5000 credits on putters & counting, all I can putt with is the low level spider & all I can manage is a few under par for a round.

    I know I suck at this, that's about all I had to say in this post, keep it short. But this putting thing is really pissing me off. I am going to leave this thing and go do something called WORK. Im behind in my chores because of this ignorant game.

    I have tried bombing the putts in. Works great until a few go by 15 ft.

    I have tried aiming to fade,,aiming to draw the putt. I have tried closing my eyes and hammering it (seems to works the best by the way)

    So if you like to read about putting woes, this is the post. It's like my real golfing too & this is carried over to this crap. I get the yips & can't keep the birdied flowing, much.

    It just baffles me why I can't at least shoot a 60. I mean c'mon, I just think I'm gettin too f'n old & the eyes don't cooperate like they used too.

     

    Cripes I have the best equipment WGT sells, sets of clubs every ball they sell. Just give me some putting consistancy and I'll be the happyest camper here. I don't want to be the best. I don't compete really in anything here to amount to a shyt.

    Just let me get to where I'm relaxed & can string enough birdies together to join the pack with a super low score. THis game is highly pissing me off and ,, I think it's time to give it a rest for about a week at least.

    Bubba, Bubba, Bubba, take a deep breath my friend. You are preaching to the choir with me. Hell I have over 1600 rounds, took three times as long to make Legend as you did. Your overall stats are better than mine. Do what I did. Play your one hole a night to keep your days going. Do this for a week and then knock the bottom out of it.

    FWIW, unless you're playing 100 rounds a day, it takes a lot longer to learn ONE putter, let alone 5000 credits worth!
