Greens changing

  I consistently find myself 3 to 5 under par the first 5 holes of a 9 hole tournament and then the greens change (get faster or slower, or break differently) and finish the tourney with no more birdies.  Doesn't always happen but the majority of times it does.  So "Admin", why does WGT do this?

  I always thought that was the short version of a vasectomy.

  At least that's what I told all the girls in my life I had, " a Lil snip", all of the keepers, tried real hard to find the scar

  Jeez!  I ask a serious question and all I get is nonsense.  I know for a fact that most of my rounds disintegrate after half the round.  I'm not imagining that the greens get harder to read and change speed.

  Mr. Mio is "snipping" parts of your original post to keep the clutter out of your mind

  The greens speeding up, seem to be taking up an inordinate amount of space, in your temporal, & parietal lobes.

  That's not an insult, just saying your busy upstairs in the attic

  Sorry, but my reply was serious...Zio edited part of your post, hence the phrase editorial comment.  As Gonfission said, something snipped out, i.e "removed"..

  Reality is 90%  (??%) perception.If you think the greens have changed then they have. No reason needed. For me it is the wind. If WGT says that it is from an angle at 14-16, the ball will react as if it is 22-24 from straight ahead (or behind).

  Perhaps I caught a wind gust and perhaps you played 8 hours after the greens were mowed and the grass grew (or didn't). And sometimes you don't see that ball mark on the green and your putt hits it and doesn't go straight to the hole. Some questions just can't be answered. Or there is a sinister plot to keep you from having a"perfect" round. It is your perception therefore your reality.

  Darn good answer Mr. Wilson and I appreciate it.

  Now, who the heck is this "Zio"?  And why did he "Snip" my post?  I didn't use any foul language or say anything untoward.
