I will never question the low scores again. With my horrible putting skills, I managed to shoot a 28 (1 time). I missed an eagle and a bird in that round. The players who have putting down to a science can do it consistently. I do have my share of wtf shots, that I thought I got robbed on, but did I? It is a fact, no doubt, that the forgiveness factor is gone. If you execute each shot perfect you will usually have excellent results. Miss it by a hair and hang on, all bets are off. I do believe that having an excellent internet connection, all the bells and whistles for a smooth game makes a difference. Bottom line, you still have to make the shot. I have the reflexes of a bowl of jello, so I have to play the hand I deal myself.
