What phantom putting bug? I did have almost all of my putts hang on the lip in the first two rounds. I am on a track of constant demotion strikes every week because my best score is around -16 and people are shooting -40 and so on. I will probably go to Z and then never leave it. My big problem is I have no idea how far the ball is going to go once it hits the green. Close approaches are all luck for me. Just talking about your last point, usually I try play at least one practice round before I go in every week, mostly to do two things: Check out the speed of the greens for putting and also to check the bounce/roll on approach shots. This helps a little bit to give me a rough idea of how it might play when I go for my round. Unless I have 0 green to work with or i'm playing a flop or a pitch I usually take around 4-5 yards off every estimated yardage to allow it to land and roll. That's my average, if I find a course to be insanely bouncy on the greens and fast etc I will take more off and hit it even shorter (Within reason, don't go and hit it into the greenside short bunker :L) for example with this weeks tourney they were super receptive, most holes you could pretty much go at it and the ball was going on at max an extra yard or two, I pretty much took the yardage and went for it. It really is about getting an idea before you go in, others may disagree and feel free to chime in but as a rule of thumb I usually after working out for wind and elevation take about 5 yards off every shot, only changing that if the course is playing very fast or receptive and slow.The you can get into the fancy side of things if you wish, like looking at the green on approach shots, to look for landing spots/slopes/backstops to work the ball closer to the hole and get a desirable putt. Basics first though!

They call that hitting it too hard!! Just saying Not even close. I've had 1 footers that I just tap do the same thing. It's a glitch in the game that has been there since day one.

I've played many rounds with Phlyer and have seen it first hand, we have both had putts that have rolled over the centre of the cup as if it didn't exist.

I dunno what happend to me.... If we were on the real course I think I would of broken my putter... I shot -5 the first round and was horrible... Then -10 -10 but still had 2 bogeys in easch -10 round, mostly because I just cant get a putt to drop.. Waiting until I settle down before playing my last round. I was -12 under about 5 out of 6 rounds when practicing. Im hoping to get at least 10 under on my last round and get a top ten.

Ok, so I'm not the only one experiencing this? I thought I was crazy. I had two putts in my 3rd round for birdie that I swore went right over the middle of the cup. Glad to know I'm not the only one!

Quick question. I just finished my first round and entered my tour name as my psn name since I'm on PS4 now. I was on Steam last season with a different name. Is this the right way to do it?

The leaderboard is showing an incorrect score for me for round 3. I thought I entered my rounds correctly and my scorecard reflects my proper score. Emailed the commish, hope they can clarify what happened. Will take the DQ and move on edit: Well...it looks like I screwed up. Disqualification for me this week Missed CC-C by 2 strokes last week and now this....damn...I'm gutted. Can't believe I did that.
