I went for a par 5 on coyote in two only to be left with a 75 foot putt that was missing 40 feet of grid. I was tempted to flop but putted instead and went 20 feet past the hole to take a 5. This is unfair as HB doesn't wanna fix it and it's a dq in this tour now. I will lay up on most par 5s so this doesn't happen.

You are only hurting yourself by laying up as you take nearly all the possibility of an eagle out of the equation. |

There are some Par 5's you go for, and some you don't.
If a Pro is faced with a 2nd shot on a Par 5 and he thinks going for it will leave him in a bad spot he lays up and tries to make a birdie that way.
I'm sure you could have layed up for an easy pitch or flop but you chose to go for it - so take your medicine

The 3 Putt Isn't the problem.
It's the ball mechanics of hitting a fairway wood, they roll and roll and roll when they hit the green.
That's what needs to be fixed.

It was 245 to the hole with 5 mph wind behind so I hit a 5 wood that was 5% taken off. The ball rolls.................................................................................then stops on other side of green. The ball initially hit before the green and the flag was 15 yards on. What should I then do different here?

This is unfair as HB doesn't wanna fix it and it's a dq in this tour now. I will lay up on most par 5s so this doesn't happen. My question would be - how many times have you practiced a 75 foot putt? If I walked up to a green and was told to hit a 75 foot putt in real life, I would probably miss by 20 feet the first few tries too - but I would like to think if I practiced for a few minutes, I'd be able to get a feel for the distance. I have practiced these long putts in the designer and a few times in the Play Round mode - I am comfortable hitting putts from any distance, but again, I've done it repetitively with the intent to get a feel for the longer distances. I know there are others out there that have taken the time to do this as well. I would expect these players to have worked out some sort of method/timing to lag these putts close. It's worked for me, and if it's an issue in your game, I would suggest doing the same. It's easier in the designer because after you putt you can redo the shot to your hearts content which helps lock in the distances faster. Hopefully that helps those of you having trouble with the longer putts from beyond the grid. PS, I've also found that in most of my experiences, the slope at the end of the grid is very similar to the slope beyond the grid - and if it's not, it's usually severe enough to see via the Scout Cam and moving around. |

That's what needs to be fixed. maybe with a 3 wood since its harder to loft up, but a 5 wood, if you loft it enough, you take out much of the ball roll, its one of my go2 shots. |

With a ps4 controller lofting more than 1 line is a big risk now with a hori I could loft all the way up and have no problem getting them to stop. I never loft more than 1 line except a flop or pitch shot with my stock controller. |

When I loft a wood I shank the hell out it. It's so hard for me..so I pretty much don't do it. |
