I didn't have the exact same experience as the OP, but I played a course today that just had the greens aerated, and then sanded over as well. They were SO SLOW, and after the first couple of holes, it became clear to me that if anything went in outside of 5 feet, it was going to be luck. I actually had a decent ball-striking day, but had 39 putts! I'm not a good putter to begin with, but the greens were so slow and bumpy that it took the little confidence I had and threw it out the window. It was a little disappointing, but I tried to get through it because the weather was so nice, and because it was mainly my putting and short game that wasn't good, as opposed to my entire game being bad. I do need to do a better job at focusing throughout the round, I tend to get down on myself if I start out badly and lose my focus, then ending any hope of salvaging a good round.
