  What high minded person working for WGT designed a Virtual Tour Tournament Second round at Bethpage Black with Ultra Slow green s for the second Single play finishing round ? After listing very fast green speed at the gate. What kind of Micky Mouse Crap is that ? When I have to hit 46ft on my putt meter to roll the ball 26ft is a tad bit ridiculous. Don't ya think? Anyway so much for the 62 I shot after 15 tries on the multi round 1 section. I truly just don t get it.

  I don't think it is even possible to have a 26ft putt on Bethpage that you have to hit at 46ft of power on ANY speed of green! Most of those greens are pretty flat!

  This is odd because when I played yesterday the greens were fast 9 if I recall properly.

  I appreciate the comment s on my post, and yes I too thought it very odd , but I don t have to lie . The green speed said ultra slow and you literally had to hammer the putts. I have never played on ultra slow green s and before then never even seen that setting. And hope I don t again. Is because I m a tour Master? who know s , I am just stating my displeasure in what I considered an important tournament for me that I waited the better part of a month to play. So.

  But surely the green speed didn’t say just ‘Ultra Slow’ it must have given you a figure to work with?
