    Yes the putting programming here sux.  I frequently cuss the programmers here because of it.  But I also make another freakin' visit to the "pro shop" whenever I need more balls/tokens. Go figure.  But hey, if it sux evenly and across the board does that not make it fair for everyone?  Lookey there...I did draw a correlation to obamacare!   How progressive of me.

    putting is the easiest thing in golf to do, it makes zero sense that it is by far the most sensitive (in this game).

    Oh wow when did putting become easy?????????????????????????

    Appears the OP's expertise is at Putt Putt and mini-golf courses. lol

    I'll fill you in...ye ignorant ones...I am a PGA Professional, I have advanced to stage two of the PGA Tour Q-School, and have been to the finals at the Re/Max World Long Drive Championsip...And yes, compared to hitting a golf ball...rolling a putt is far easier to do!  I guarantee a beginner will whiff some of the time trying to hit a full shot, yet will ALWAYS make contact when putting.  I never said being proficient at putting is the easiest thing to do...please learn how to read.  The variance of intended line is far greater on a putt than it is off the driver in this game...regardless if dinged or not.

    The only difference this game uses is actual photographs...And, considering putting is the easiest thing in golf to do, it makes zero sense that it is by far the most sensitive (in this game). 

    I agree. I've always been able to putt the ball (make contact) better then hitting a drive, or hitting an approach shot with any level of consistency. Where I have made some good putts, and missed some good putts, I have made some pro like putts with some level of consistency.

    I would like to know what the hell WGT did today when they shut down??????????????

     

    All my clubs are hitting different now.  The same club I used to get with in 1" of the cup, is now leaving me 70 feet from the cup and not even making green.

    Even my putters are different.  Puttling 5 foot from the cup and putt about 2 foot distance shot went about 32 feet past the cup. I have never in my life seen any *** as this in no real golf course.

    I paid for these clubs for the distance and feel, just because WGT gets bored they should not change what we paid for.

    Feck me. It's only a game.

     

    If you don't like it play another.

     

    There are inconsistencies. I just get on with them. A 190 yard club played near full going into a 14 wind and playing 160 yards leaving a very long putt. we all get them.

    Yet another person making unproven claims about themselves...

    longball2006:
    ps.  I would be glad to take you on with all of your hi-tech stuff versus my persimmon woods, apex irons and bullseye butter with 1998 Tour Balatas.  How many strokes you want?

    ...better be prepared to have to upgrade all that stuff once you turn pro and the sponsorships start pouring in...I highly doubt that any one of those items can be found in your bag...seeing as your on your way through q-school and all...

    I can become proficient at it with a flat rock tied onto the end of rebar.

    ...i'll post this quote of your's one more time...because above you said "i never said being proficient at putting is the easiest thing to do...please learn how to read"  Apparently you've changed your mind...

    longball2006:
    And, considering putting is the easiest thing in golf to do, it makes zero sense that it is by far the most sensitive (in this game)

    OOOOHHH...here's the one i was looking for... now...lets put the two quotes together to see how ridiculous you've made yourself sound...

    longball2006:
    I never said being proficient at putting is the easiest thing to do...please learn how to read.

    ...who needs to learn how to read now??? I mean seriously...enough is enough...stop talking...there might be other q-schoolers on here that might read this...
