  ]Ah...I wasn't looking for suggestions, there should be a play button in the top left corner of the gif.  : (

  That didn't quite work but I'm sure you can sort it :-)

  BTW if there has been so much said about this issue and by looking at past post you would think WGT could add a few extra line of code to help!!!!

  Or one could simply conclude that it's not as simple as that and that the issues you raised are inherent in the limitations of when they took the photos and created the courses.
  
  Here's the thing: you seem to believe that the problems you identify are easily addressed on their end. They're not.
  
  Additionally, you seem not to want to acknowledge that a lot of the issues can be addressed on your end by simply practicing a lot. And yes, you do acknowledge that you have old equipment that need to be upgraded. But instead of doing that, you waste credits on balls that over 900 credits a sleeve. I'm sorry but that makes no sense. That's just throwing credits away. 
  
  With your clubs, you should be spending no more than 250 credits a sleeve. In other words, there's no reason to buy a better ball than the Callaway Chrome Soft (Level 33). Indeed, you probably easily make do with lesser balls such as the Srixon Z-Star Level 11 ball. It's only 180 credits.

  My dad always say. You can't expect to play well with over price " Balls "

  Completely uncalled for YJ.

  So is the ignorant rant of the OP as well as the majority of the responses.

  Take your sanctimonious meaningless generalization elsewhere.

  Not exactly. Among other things, in previous (now deleted) threads, the OP has called people "stupid" and an "ass." So, I don't know that the responses he receives are uncalled for. 

  It took all my self control to not totally blast him when he called some of my friends and players I respect an Idiot  or a moron because they disagreed with him. And unless they just deleted that thread it is still active.

  I had a match that my opponents ball when into the hole and then lipped out? We both agreed that ball should have gone in and stayed in. 

  Putting is all about speed and ball control.

  Too strong of a putt and you will get lip outs.

  Just because your ball hits the hole ,doesn't automatically mean you will get rewarded

  Playing downhill putts require even more speed control. Putting is a specific talent & of all the golf skills one  aspires to master  it is by far the skill toughest to conquer  .

  Don't let one putt that didn't go in sway you

  Continue to practice 

  Learn to master your ball speed

  And the putts will fall in.

  As long as you think negatively  

  Negative results will follow.

  Smile and enjoy the game.

  I have been playing for quite awhile

  I still work on my short game

  It;s what we have to work with 

  Make the most of it

  Practice 

  Practice

  Practice

  I hear ya. I don't get the guy. At times, we all get frustrated with the game and probably post stuff we regret. But instead of just saying "my bad; had a bad day" he seems to double down.

  i get that and that's not my point at all.  My point is, do a search for this guy YJ with his 12k + posts.  Flames people over and over again and WGT lets him get away with it. over and over again.  Why's that?  Especially when WGT pulls their crap with people like me who after almost 5 years here and 132+ posts, are still "moderating" my posts.  So they moderate my lame/tame posts so bully's like this clown can do what they want here?

  Have you posted nicely on a moderator's wall to ask for an end to "moderation".  I did and they helped.

  BTW - the clown in this thread is the OP - and they have deleted some of his earlier rants and belittlements.
