I will be in the 80's by the end of the year.
I remember my first round on those greens. If you had a downhill putt, seriously if you just touch the ball you hit it too hard. it was the craziest thing i had ever seen. it was like being on a glass surface and trying to get a ball to stop rolling on a tilt.
And if a putt had a lot of break, you couldn't hit it hard enough up the break without hitting it too hard to stop at the end.
It took at least half a round before you could ever get close to adjusting and it was still just a wild hope to get a 2 putt on any green.
