And what is it in the game that decides I am fit enough at putting for the smaller grids to be allocated ?
I mean, what the hell ?
This was outlined in the patch notes that came out last week. The more skill points you put into putting, the smaller the grid will get.

So I have to add those SP points to be able to do something that can be done in real golf irrespective of ability, that being, the ability to read a green ?
Not exactly realistic, is it ?
What I will say is that pitching on the green will be a considerably better option in many cases.

The whole game seemed to have been built around this premise. Why else would the RNG be so prevalent?
However, I don't find this concept terrible... and it might not be seeing the same criticism if it had been implemented on day one. You really do need a reason to add skill points to your character... you now have a reason to.
I play without skill points or green grids so I'm interested in how this will affect me?

It won't...I do play with skill points and the grid on (but no beads), and it doesn't even seem to affect me, either. I notice no difference in the grid lines playing post-patch. It looks the exact same to me. And I have 7 skill points in the Putting attribute.
I played the 4-hole Daily Tournament, a few career mode Quick Rounds, and the grid was not any different than it was when I played yesterday.
