That is what I have heard over on the HB forums, but it has only been happening within the last month since the update. HB says they changed nothing with the cup but something has changed. It is hard to explain, but I would say a rough estimate would be 15-20% of putts that I think would normally go in the past are now lipping out. Very weird.

I've gotten wonky physics defying lip outs since I bought the game. They've never been right.

I would say im giving up at least 2 shots a round because of these problems. In fact i actually had two weird putts in my last round at Turtle Creek Golf Club.
It really hurts my position in tournaments. I know i won't ever be winning a tourney but if i ever want a top 10 then i have to rely on not having these problems.

Yeah, yeah. There is something about this course that is just wonky for me. So many weird bounces into sand/water. Yes a bit of squirt but in once case hit the edge of a sand trap and it went dead sideways into the water. Never had that happen before. Another rock shot for -40 yards. I really wish HB would figure out what they did with the putting. They claim nothing has been done but since that mouse patch I have had so many putts completely ignore that there was even a hole there, ignore edges and when edges are hit, lip out in very weird ways. This particular putt is an example. It rolls over the right edge which causes the ball to move left. It does so and seemingly hits the back edge of the hole and somehow goes over the hole moving back to the right? What is even weirder is I went back at the end of that round (no video) to look at it again cause it changes sometimes and this time it spun left like before but all the way around the back lip and went out to the left at a 45 degree angle. According to HB both those shots are 'possibilities' that could happen and it is a known 'bug' that they are aware of that the shot changes. I have old saved shots that were hole in ones and such that when viewed now, completely miss the hole by 5+ feet to the side and rolls 20 feet past. Something just ain't right. That putt should have missed, but I get what you mean about the randomness about how it misses. " it spun left like before but all the way around the back lip and went out to the left at a 45 degree angle." <---this is how I would expect that putt to miss. You were going to skim the right cup edge, the ball would drop just a hair into the hole, but the momentum (weight, speed) was too great, and it would have curled along the hole and went to the left. What is in that video is just incorrect for that shot. This video and another one someone had put up on here both showed a graphical putting problem that seemed "wrong", and both had their line in the cone at a sharp angle and not straight. Any thoughts on if that has anything to do with it? Two videos is a very small sample size and it may just be coincidence.

This is my point. I know i missed the putt in this case, but the reaction of the ball after it hit the hole seems random and I don't think it was like this before last patch, at least not that I noticed, nor to this degree. Something has happened to putting overall, something has changed. I don't mind HB making it a little tougher by tightening up the edges and such but when you attempt a putt where the ball goes right over the center of the cup without a hop or any indication that it hit any part of the hole and then stops like 1 foot later, it is just baffling and wrong.

Grateful I made the cut after my inexplicable 69 opener. Came back and finished 60-61-63 for a -35 total. A little luck and maybe a top 25. Good luck to all still on the course.

I had a 20 footer look like it stopped on the lip but then it disappeared, then it and reappeared, so I hit replay and it showed it go in, but I had to putt the 1 inch putt in event.
Yeah putting since patch is more wonky, but I always noticed wonky putts, but it seems like more now, but I chocked/chock it up to more pressure now.
I love following guys like Doyley, I wonder htf he does it over and over again. He just seldom misses. But when he does he's usually a mile by, that is likely the secret. Only putts that seem to be wonky to me are the ones lagged or hit to roll only a little by if it misses. The ones hit with more power either miss outright or go in. That simple, that's the game. that's the way it is folks.

Well I suggest you post replies and vids here. www.hb-studios.com/forum/index.php?topic=13255.0At this point HB is stating they didn't touch anything and have no idea why it is happening. So we have to show them that it is so they can figure it out.

Gutted - would've finished second if I'd gone for the PGA Tour this week, instead I had a pretty rubbish week on the Euro. Ho hum! Wouldn't have made me any Ryder Cup points though, and that's the point of this season for me.
