   I was a 4 handicap for most of my life.

  OK, I admit; I'm kind of stuck on this one. I can come up with three of the four: cognitive, psychological, and physical. But what was your fourth handicap? 

  LMAO.    I'd say it was the ill-fitting foil hat that keeps slipping off when looking down at the ball, the ball moves and a penalty is incurred. :-D

  I'd take out the last as you have no basis for it; maybe put Raving and Argumentative at second and third.

  yeah you are brilliant you watched the US Open.  My guess is you never played a round of golf in your life.  I was a 4 handicap for most of my life.  The hole locations and the breaks in putts wouldnt be allowed on a real golf course.  

   

  Thanks for you imput, did WGT give you bonus points for kissing their butt?

  I have a friend who caddies on the European and PGA tour and he couldn't get over how realistic the greens are on here compared to RL. He said they are more or less identical.

  And before you pipe up about not me knowing about golf. I've been a scratch golfer for 26 years and I've caddied on the European tour.

  just putted on hole 2 at Oakmont  hit the putt 10 feet forward it stop then went 5 feet sideways

   

  Your lucky, I've hit mishit 4ft putts on that hole that went 15-20ft down the hill, you must have been playing on slow greens! LOL

  If you didn't figure it out after that putt, you do not want any sidehill putts on #2 back pin....

  Considering the fact that you hardly play why do you complain or even care about the game ? Your account is going on 7 years old and you have only played 773 ranked rounds in that time . No A/S or M/P so this means you hardly play at all .All of the courses represented in the game are real and exact in detail including the pin placements .

  So its evident that you dont know anything about the game or golf . Your above statement only shows that you can be both rude and ignorant but nothing else . There`s help here in the forum if you ask for it but dont ask if you arent going to apply your self and try .

  These hole locations are the same ones used by the U.S.G.A. in the U.S. Open and in most cases it is the Sunday pins. And if you don't think so then you must have never watched the last day of any U.S. Open, So you only played on a muni course where the greens keeper only putt the pin on the flattest spots on the green where almost all putts were dead straight?

  True story, when I played a lot, and I mean a "LOT"....I was a 7 handicap, long off the tee, suspect iron play but a good short game and excellent putter.

  Around here, as the US Open approaches the courses all let the rough grow a lot longer, they say to show respect for the US Open, I personally thought the sole reason was to make my game look like sh!t, and make me curse a lot!

  I played a lot of easy courses, and tough ones equally...a friend invited me to play Bellerive CC with them 3 weeks before the Open. BCC has hosted several PGA, and Senior PGA events over the years, and will host the 2018 Senior PGA Championship...

  Having just shot a 78 on a pretty tough course and a 71 on one of the easier muny courses I was ready to go, and show them how it is done...shot a 103, and that's all I'm gonna say about that piece of sh!t, junk  course!!!! The Pro's can have it! LMAO

  When you get on the back tees of a 6,700-7,000yd course and super fast greens it's a whole new ball game....talk about getting hit with reality!

  Yes I do watch the US Open every year, and most tournaments that are televised here....why? Because I am a golfer. So once again you look like a total jerk.

  In my prime I did get as low as a two handicap.....as I have got older it has blown out to double figures and I also play less due to different work commitments. But the club I am a member of (albeit non-playing as I am overseas) is a championship course. Fine most of the year but if there is a professional tournament to be hosted, the greens are slickened up to the point of being treacherous. Add pin locations on gradients.....totally wicked.

  As for your 4 handicap, I somehow doubt that putt putt course handicaps are officially recognised,

  From what you have posted and ranted, it is obvious you have very little knowledge of the game. Or you do play the game on fourth rate courses that would consider a temporary green to be fantastic.

  Finally wtf is an imput? If you try and insult someone, at least try to get it right.

  Really! Maybe mine was too.  Try putting it together.
