Though this message is for the gay/lesbian folks out there, the core message applies to everyone:
I will admit I've not cared for the "special treatment" gays, lesbians, African Americans, etc. seem to want to get while declaring that they want "no special treatment." We have an NAACP, but an NAAWP would cause a shitstorm of epic proportions. It sucks that "CP" feel that they need an "NAA."
That said, I'm the least minority group there is (well, I am a Mac user, but equating computing platforms with being gay is as stupid as it sounds - or more so), so I can't know what these groups are going through. A big part of my "I don't want to hear about it" campaign is because I don't care… and by that I mean I don't care if someone's Asian or Lesbian or Jewish or whatever. It's inconsequential. They're just people.
I'm far from being the most enlightened person in the world, but also I doubt that I'm a big part of the problem.
Here's to hoping mankind in general becomes a more accepting . I doubt that Gays, Lesbians, different races and religions, etc. would need parades or groups or whatnot if everyone simply treated them as equals in the human race.
So if you watch the video, and it doesn't apply to you, consider that you might have had a hand in making someone the video does apply to need this type of video to help them get through life.

Both balls lie on either zide of a curved zero line which runs through the low anchor in the middle. Both putt are aimed/ hit straight at the hole showing how the first put misses to the left and how the second put misses to the right.
Remember that both putts are missed on either side of the zero line when aimed straight at the hole.
Incidentally, if you're on a straight planar surface, and you're directly below the hole, shoved putts will miss farther right and pulled putts farther left. So the same putt, depending on whether it's started slightly left or right, will break in both directions as well - and that's a non-curved zero line.

Here is one of the hardest putt on this green. At first this putt appears to occur at the 5 o'clock position on a planar surface. In actuality this is a tilted crown. The first putt appears to break up hill. The second putt shows how the putt changes direction once it crosses over the ridge.

Five minutes long, but worth it. 🙂
6-12 inches is the ideal speed, but if you're going to watch The Masters at Augusta National, some putts will still have a really wide hole but roll out a few feet past the cup.
