  Is it me or is there a real problem with wgt greens. How is it that it shows a down hill putt speeds 11 20ft to the cup hit it for 10ft to use the roll to get close and the ball goes 20 past the hole. Another problem I see is the ball rolls 10 or 15 ft in the bunker stops and on your shot it says you have a 30% 40% lie. In the fairway bunker it is almost impossible,with a good lie to ever make the green.

  Ive noticed in the past month that putting has changed. Balls are breaking too fast or slow. Greenspeed are messed up also. Either way too fast or slow. Hit a putt on Oakmont #18. 5FT no change in elevation. Hit shot at 60% and went only 4 feet. My putter increment is 10 ft and is was on very fast green. I am also having problem with bunker shots lately. A lot of shots only going 2 or 3 yards. Maybe Yancy can look into that.

  Clearly you balls are TOO HEAVY!

  Downhill putts with 11" of drop gather a bit more speed and take longer to stop than a 2 or 3" drop.
