    Who is the totally clueless individual or individuals currently programming some of these courses? I have been playing a lot of best of par 5 lately and have non stop head winds on every hole. This makes no sense at all. Have tried SA back 9 today a few times (been awhile) winds are any where from 13-22 mph, almost always head winds. Several courses I have encountered 2 foot putts, flat, no break jumping off the putter and ending up farther away than when I started. I admit I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to WGT, but even an idiot like myself knows that this is total BS. On T12 greens a straight flat putt of 3 feet hit 3 feet does not come up .3 short almost every time. Why should I have to hit a 3 foot putt 5 feet on these greens to reach the hole? If it is 3 feet and 1 inch down, if I hit it 2.5 feet it flies over the cup and goes 4 feet past. I wanted to stay quiet and just let it be, but it got to the point of ridiculous. I am pleased to sink a 36 foot putt that I know damn well I missed by a mile but I am totally discouraged missing Eagle putts from 3 feet, over and over again that i know damn well should have fell. I am trying to play more lately to reach the ridiculous 500 rounds required to be saturated as a Legend. The way it is going I am starting to lose interest again. When I am wrong I am wrong, when I see I am being taken to the cleaners I get a bit upset. Just asking again, not whining at all. I realize that some players have no idea what anything but all birdies and eagles every round are, but I see way too many going down the $hitter that I know used to fall.

    I hope you know Renn, that the best of par 5's, don't count as a ranked round.

    And start hammering those 3 ftrs, you should be to the point that 3 ftrs are just an annoyance to make (imo).

    I'll hit all 3ftrs and under on champ greens with at least 5ft of power.

    I know shoe, just been killing time here. I have no new goals at all, just playing until the weather warms up enough to do outside stuff. When I hammer a 3 footer 5 feet it goes over every single time for some reason.

    You could spend some time learning how to make paragraphs so more people will read your post.

     So sorry. I will use brevity next time so you don't have to strain your eyes. It's been 46 years since I studied wreading, righting and writhmatic, I must be rusty.
