For those complaining that the flag placements are unrealistic, I would venture to say they haven't played a fourth round in a PGA event. There's a reason guys don't shoot -37s in real life. Or go 10 under on their final round on a regular basis.

In fact, those are probably the closest aproximation to real golf when you consider PGA players often have to determine where on the green to hit the ball (front, back, left, right) so they have an uphill putt with little break. The ones that do that effectively, both in real life as well as TW 12, will find themselves having easier putts.

Now if you have a complaint about the ball break physics and the ball returning to your feet after said putt...that's an entirely different subject and problem (but does also happen in real life on occassion).
