  The only problem i had for awhile was moving from very fast to tournament green speed....never noticed a difference during my level advancement.

  hope it comes around for you...

  Have no problem with green speed. I've been TM for a while now. My meter just gets out of control sometimes

  SweetiePie:

  The worst thing one can do is over read, re-read and do brain science with any putt. Check it out, aim, and bang it.

   

  Very true IRL golf and on here.

  I agree some days every thing drops , other days not a clue. However as I got to level 92 and unlocked the top of the line Ghost putter, I can't hole putts That I've made hundreds of times. Sorry  to be cynical,  But I do believe it is WGT telling me it's time to upgrade to that putter! This is a business after all.

  I'm glad I'm not the only one who has noticed. Thought I was crazy... and you're right, it does take away some of the enjoyment and replace it with frustration.

  Guess I'll just keep battling through and see if things improve.  

  Maybe I'm just a conspiracy nut, but I'm wondering if as my level increases and the availability of higher level clubs becomes available if that offsets the difficulty somewhat.  From a programmer's/business model standpoint that would make sense -- offset the increasing difficulty with new clubs.  Keep the cash flowing.

  Time will tell.

  Interesting... I bit the bullet and purchased the level 71+ Nike putter to replace the lower level Nike I already had...  Not only was I dropping putts that I haven't been for weeks, I think the dots on the greens actually moved slower.  Maybe it's just my imagination, but that was my perception.  It was only one round though so I will post again after a few more.

  UPDATE:  I stand completely corrected.  Played a weekly tournament round at Oakwood and the putting kicked my @ss again...  Was a bit easier to hit the bell, but dots were just as fast as always.  Back to the drawing board -- 2000 credits lighter.  LOL

  It's simple if you understand what cross site scripting or XSS then you will know that it is not your putting becoming difficult it's is under  the control of World Golf Tour say for instance you buy a ball which might in turn slow the meter speed down what happens is the meter speed you thought is slow is somewhat faster or being manipulated by the wgt control personell that sets the game under the XSS or cross site scripting, and the way they gain control is a shrewd underhanded scheme that once they have your billing information they can play you any way they want to play you instead of you becoming better you actual get worse wondering why you played this game so well up til now.   So good buddy unless we find a way to force wgt to remove this illegal tool so we can play the honest games of golf we expect, then it is obivious the world golf tour will continue to collect our money, and control our game making us think we've gotten worse while we've actually gotten better after all we have made it to level 83 for you and level 85 for me and my game just keeps getting worse.  One last thing before I go play Old St. Andrews play with your ball first see if it goes into the water if it does on several attempts switch over to the world golf tour unlimited balls and watch the first few of theirs go into the water, then watch how world golf tour controls the balls from that point forward not to go into the water unless you hit it directly in the water

  To be honest, I've no idea what cross site scripting or XSS is, but I do know that is one hell of a conspiracy theory !
