Well Jeffdos, yes some greens are more difficult than others to putt on. But in my experience only a few courses and greens are miss-able from 1.5 ft or less. And as we know golf is called a gentleman's game, if you want to give your opponent the benefit of the putt than you should be able to do so. You personally don't have to use the button if you don't like it or feel your opponent might miss it. It obviously is optional to each their own. Also a concede button would be just as beneficial. As well, I have no issues with erratic meter, maybe an upgrade of your operating system or video card might help. Just a suggestion.
