PaulTon:
Thank you for that well written and courteous reply.
groundsage: Compare notes with me after you have played another thousand more ranked rounds and after your legend average gets below 61
We are both legends, my average is 61.07, yours is 60.91!! LMFAO!! Ohmasides!!
After that little gem I won't be taking any of your nonsense seriously champ!
Your attempt to belittle my gaming skills is hilarious. You may be be marginally better than me (not a given) at this game and you might have played more ranked rounds but you forgot to mention the 3000+ more alt shots I have played compared to you.
Eloquent as your post was, you added nothing to support your claim. In fact you have just made yourself look a little more ridiculous.
e.g. This from your profile -
Whether or not the ball falls in appears to be based upon covert criteria. After watching so many videos in which this kind of putt falls in for some players and not for others, what is one to think? Maybe I need to first spend money on a more expensive ball, one a little more susceptible to gravity?
Here's a screenshot of the putt you described above -
OOPS! THERE GOES YOUR CREDIBILITY!
Carry on blaming the game, I'm sure it will make things easier for you.
When you can snatch the ball marker from my hand you are ready to leave Grasshopper.
Hi Paul,
There was no mention in my post that I am a better player than you, and especially do I not have any way of measuring that, and more specifically, I do not regard myself as a "better" player than anyone. A lot of people I play with prevail against me, even though they have a higher, and some significantly higher averages.
Instead the point was that I have putted more than 25,000 putts than you have putted in ranked rounds. As you point out, you have played 3,000 more alt shot games than me. The issue that I am addressing has nothing to do with alt shot, it is an issue about putting behavior in tournament ranked games,
As for the picture you posted, thank you. Whether or not it lends to my credibility does not matter to me. I posted the replays for the purpose of others who care to see what I saw. It is an individual judgement call, and it is not my point to change people's mind about what they see in those videos, but my point to get feedback about the videos. Thank you for yours. And please know that it is not my point to belittle anyone who does not agree that the ball should have gone in the hole.
And as for what you wrote about making myself look ridiculous, I've never cared about that in my life. Since you bring it up, I suspect that is why you responded the way that you did, fear of looking ridiculous.
After you have putted another 25,000 putts in ranked rounds you might be qualified to see what I am illustrating. So stands to reason that you have the opinion you have.
Happy to be a grasshopper, with over 55,000 putts in ranked rounds. gs
