The PGA put out a Twitter message and tacked on a video Sunday that said “Golf is Hard.”

The video showed Adam Scott, a former UNLV golfer, three-putting from three feet at The Players Championship.

Scott was using one of those long putters, which will be illegal next season.

He also was using the long putter when he won the 2013 Masters.

On that day, golf was easy.
