  Because y'all is GOOD!!!! ;-)

  Just pickin' Mr Agassi. I haven't had any problems with the dots. Still can't, and probably never will shoot those type of scores unless they widen my putting circle of precision to 3ft.

  Like jayw4862 says, perhaps they have thousands of rounds played, have the green breaks memorized and therefore aren't as reliant (if at all) on the chip view dot speeds being accurate ;)

  Yeah there's some hyperbole being thrown around for sure but it doesn't change the fact that the chip view dot speeds have slowed down, are not in sync with the putting view dots and are causing many lesser player problems.

  The dots are still f'd up on putts...

  Now more importantly off topic, the 720 credit survey available tonight, the secret disease is COPD, and say nice things about the Spiriva commercial....you'll figure it out...these don't come around very often anymore.

  WGT has totally screwed up the game, worse than ever on trying to make a reasonable put

   

  And the last time you made 1 was?

  That is a bit harsh....this guy has spent hours mastering every aspect of his game - evident from his score history and stats.Some would say he is a legend in his lunch hour.

  Memory serves them well is the answer ... I've found that I can make some of the lying putts from memory ... but then as someone else has stated .... YO ELEVEN !!!

  Average Dist to Pin coming from extreme knowledge in exactly what a giving wind does at a certain hole; Memory as well.

  This though where it's bad as we are not all top players for one reason or another.  Some perhaps could be if they simply chose to play more, but they do not.  Lack of clarity from the company is v bad for the game in general in general though.  

  The cranks have something else to blame, but IMO the truth is as ever that grey boring bit in the middle for most.  Get a good ADP and generally the putts are manageable now, but the lack of confidence exists.  

  The lack of confidence is bad news which is the bit that gets reported, and no smoke without fire.  It may only really affect us more average / casual players, but it is there.

   Lack of confidence creates poor perception which spreads, and that is something that will not go away IMO.  WGT really do need to fix this properly and say when it is fixed, or take chances at their peril............... 

  EDIT: Auto dingers wet dream too of course all this.

  No they don't :-{  Part of the problem is that the ruse is now out in the open with Drug Company focus...first, develop the new drug then invent the ailment.....
