    I continually notice the tweeks and changes made to both course conditions and products.  The one thing I keep waiting for you to do is make putting realistic.....by that I mean if a put is struck so firmly to eleminate the break and that would cause the ball to travel more than a foot beyond the hole the chances of it going in the hole are so small that it wouldn't be worth the chance.  

    Yet, in playing with many various levels of players I continually notice putts struck so hard they travel in a straight line to the hole, even when they show 4 to 6 feet of break.

    To eliminate that kind of break, I've tried to imagine how hard a ball would have to be struck.  Needless to say, no golfer in reality on any level would have the nerve to even try that because the ball would strike the hole with such force it would have only a small chance of going in.  The risk would so far out weigh the reward it wouldn't be a consideration.

    Make the putting realistic and force people to read greens to make putts and bring that part of the realism into the game also.
