fatdan: Seemed like about every 2 months for a year I got this putting phenomena which lasted about a week, but for the last 3-4 months it has been surprisingly consistent until this week..
This is the most frustrating part of the game for me. I know it happens, I can usually see it coming and there's squat I can do about it. The frustrating part is not knowing exactly what to change to get through it except suck it up and keep playing.
LOL. Not blowing a gasket when it happens has helped. More like "meh, must be my turn in the hopper." :-D
