I rarely go with the default putting marker on any putt. I figure it out myself. I wish the marker started at the hole on ALL putts, not just downhill. Either do I pal I adjust the marker myself with the elevation but when it says +2 elevation when it clearly isn't I have no choice to go by the preset marker if you get me? I've been caught out by this several times now and used the formula and the ball has rolled back to my feet. It's always when red contours are involved when its showing false elevations. So I have no choice to try hit it to the preset marker which is ok I suppose was just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem? I do what chrash (Chris) mentions. I pull it back to the hole. The inches shown is more accurate. I then adjust accordingly. You are likely right with red elevations. I saw an odd putt on my Tye Dunes practice round where my math had me aiming much shorter than the default marker. It makes sense what you are saying about the big uphillers, especially with yellow and red elevation markers. For me, I long ago went with trusting myself over the default marker. That may be the bridge you have to cross?!?!

Yeah maybe pal I think you are right there is definitely something I am missing and I know it is the little arrow pointing up when you bring the marker back to the hole just say it says up 13 when I bring it back to the hole, should I use this number as my elevation for my calculations instead?? Also I've noticed these numbers will go up and down as you drag the marker forward/backwards as the elevation changes which is kind of why I avoided using it as some putts will go up and downhill in the one if you get me? Sorry for rambling just confused by all the methods etc

Sorry for rambling just confused by all the methods etc There is math involved, yes. But there is also feel. I use the elevation at the hole as a base. If it has break, then you have to account for if you are putting even more or less uphill when you adjust left/right. For the real long putts with the big elevation changes, I don't think many are trying to make it, they are trying to avoid 3-putts and lag it up. Its hard for me to explain, but as I go along I have gotten more and more comfortable. Its not like it all came to me (personally) all at once. It is experience (missing and making) over time where I have gradually improved. That is likely not the answer you are looking for, but I am not trying to hide anything. It's just hard to quantify putting that isn't straight and has elevation, let alone factoring in the green speeds. There is definitely a feel aspect to things where you know something is wrong and something seems right.

Being solid in my practice rounds and feeling pretty good on the course I went for it. First 4 holes of R1 almost gave me a stroke: I mishit a couple of shots left and right (totally my fault) just to find myself +2 after 4.....luckily I didn't lost my composure and managed 12 birdies in the remaining 14 holes for a solid start @ 62 (-10). I may give another spin in practice on FRI setup and go for it tonite...we'll see

You had an excellent 4th round going there on Sunday Kenny. -9 through 10 I believe. Tough to keep that pace up, well done.
A few disappointing holes on SAT led to a -1, I really should have done better. Sunday was a mental meltdow. Finished with 3 consecutive bogies for a +2 round. Not sure if I will make the weekend, if I do look for me at the bottom of the leader board.
This happened though:

-8 +2 Missed Cut. Again. Yay.
Enjoyed the course, props to the designer. Just couldn't get going round 2 and then the pressure of the cut destroyed me.

-8 +2 Missed Cut. Again. Yay. Enjoyed the course, props to the designer. Just couldn't get going round 2 and then the pressure of the cut destroyed me. I feel your pain. -10 +2 How, how, how has that happened?! joy, to misery in the space of an hour. I'm surprised my controller is still intact the amount I was twisting it in frustration! Had two incredibly unlucky chips (both for eagles on par 5s) in round 1 as well, they were as unlucky as you can get! I don't know how to upload video, but will teach myself for the sake of these sticklers. Anyway, it doesn't matter I can't imagine -8 making the cut out there, and I don't really deserve to anyway with how badly I putted round 2. I couldn't miss a thing in round 1. Literally a story of two halves. To put in perspective how well I began playing in round 1, I was very nervous starting my first event after earning my card and it showed, when I was even par through 5 (all pars). I then proceeded to shoot -10 through the next 13. I missed so many putts round 2, I think I may have even disgustingly had two four putts. It's actually laughable, now the frustration has died down. Good luck out there for those that haven't teed off yet.

Well R2 is in the books...an overall OK 65 (-7). Nothing spectacular tbh as I seem to be unable to avoid bogeys in tourney rounds; had 2 in round 2 too. I can't complain too much about my game anyways, as @ 17 under after two I don't think I'll be sweating for the cut. Aiming at something better than a TOP 20 though...that'll require me to stop carding fudging bogeys

Not sure if I will make the weekend, if I do look for me at the bottom of the leader board. This happened though: Yeah at one point I was thinking -12 or -13 may have been a possibility, wasn't to be but I'll happily take this score on what was a tough set up, I didn't like the course during a practice round as I found it real tricky but it grew on me. :-)

I think I must be getting too used to all the firm courses we've played recently. I shot -10 round 1 and then could only manage -4 in round 2 with the softer greens!
Still, another cut safely made. Just need a good weekend to finish avoid finishing about 45th again.
I'm calling that the cut will be either -10 or -11 this week.

On my computer, the leader. Marc van Stijn, shows -14 but his scorecards shows 65. Glitch?

Well looks like I won't be playing this week, my PS4 is borked. Lent it to a mate who's handy with this stuff to see if he can fix it, if not will have to buy another at the weekend! Good luck all to play

On my computer, the leader. Marc van Stijn, shows -14 but his scorecards shows 65. Glitch? I saw that. Im thinking DQ. The api doesnt lie maybe a mistake on his part. Or do u mean the ingame leaderboard on pc?

Jules, I am talking on our leaderboard on the main page, not the pc one.
