I knew the equation I just never added x 1.5. Only ever x 1.0 plus 2.
Interesting

I stand by what Bob said about green speeds. It's a tricky little thing to get down. When you're on, it's great. 😏😏

So the marker really has a strong influence on putts? I have my days where I am on, I make long putts and crazy downhill side break putts.. Then I have days where I miss stupid putts. I give up a lot of birdie chances, I am pretty good at approach and putting is my missing piece to a great golf game. I don't know if our systems are the same or close, do you use a number that you go by for the left to right break? Do you base it on beads or grid squares or a combo of both?

Left/Right for me is all feel due to making thousands of putts through both games. There was the mental putting system from one but sod that.

I don't know if our systems are the same or close, do you use a number that you go by for the left to right break? Do you base it on beads or grid squares or a combo of both? The marker can have a huge impact on putt distance. It works sort of like a magnet. I don't know the specifics, but if you've got the marker at 10ft, and instead hit 13ft, it will result in, say, an 11.5ft swing. As for break, I don't follow any specific rules. Putts tend to break less going uphill than they do going downhill. My best tip is to look at the putt from both sides of the hole. Sometimes the shot will look completely different from the other side of the hole. In this situation I'll mentally average what I'm seeing. After that I like to visualize the path the ball would take from the putter to the hole. If my imagination can't make my current line work, I'll adjust my aim accordingly. And one more misc. tip: on down hill putts where the slope continues past the hole, shorten up the putting marker. The penalty for hitting long is way worse than the penalty for hitting short. |

That's great. It's truly like putting on tiles.

I believe just as in real life, putting is more about feel and the ability to read a green.

Now I took a ton of time off between my stints with TGC1 but I agree with Echo127. I remember reading on the HB forums that what the marker does is build a buffer around that putting marker distance. So what it basically did using his example would be put a buffer around the 10 foot mark determined by what I can't remember. So whatever the buffer is, say 1 foot. If you pulled back far enough for a normal 9 - 11 foot range the power would actually be for a 10 (the placement of the marker). Anything outside that normal buffer zone would be whatever power footage you would be hitting. Again, this was a long time ago, but I distinctly remember reading that which led me to always add feet for uphill or subtract for downhill on the putting meter in TGC1. Now TGC2 to me is definitely more by feel. Once the green speeds get turned up that theory sort of goes out the window. I have lagged putts (with a foot downhill drop) foot drop putts to the top of the slope and watch them run quite a bit a ways from what I think the distance should be. Also, when the green speeds come down it has the reverse effect. I have had to extend some past what I normally would put the putting marker at. I am by no means a great putter but I usually use to get the pace pretty correct in TGC1. And by pace I mean, The ball would stop at roughly the correct putting distance. Now in TGC2 I am just starting to get a grip with the pace and with the new improved cup physics I think pace is becoming more important than ramming it to the hole. |

U need to practise more  lol no... just no.. All you people say practice more and you never provide any helpful tips. What is you average round score? I want to hear the average round score of these people that waste our time with "practice more" how the f is that going to help anyone?? Re-fuh-diculous Practice.. Then keep it moving |

I WILL ALWAYS MOVE MY MARKER TO THE HOLE BEFORE EVERY DAMN PUTT!!!!!!!! (Gimmies are excluded.) You forgot to tell him where you learned that from, hah?  While this might be definitely true for real life golf, this doesn't apply inconclusively to TGC. I'm feeling much comfortable with downhill putts for whatever reason. This was already like that in TGC2. |
