I find the biggest aggravation in the game is the fantom breaks on the greens. Not talking about not reading the greens properly, pure and simple I mean green breaks in wrong direction when games say it is breaking other direction. I just love how I see the direction balls moving from one side to the other and then my ball breaks opposite way and I run past the hole. This happens way too much in this game. Figure it cost me about 3-4 strokes a round and that is too much.

You sure you are not missing the line in that direction... that can cause this.

It's a fault of the grid system. It can only show the difference between grid intersections. If there's a slight break opposite between the grid intersections, it won't be displayed.

I know what you are talking about but it's not a bug. The grid dots just aren't 100% accurate (and designed that way from what I can tell). To get 100% accurate green grids, you'd need multiple dots per grid box or much smaller boxes. So when your ball breaks left and the grid dots are moving right, it's because there's a severe slope on one edge of the grid that trumps the rest of the grid box (including the portion you are putting through) causing the dots to swing the other way. I've had lots of these putts. usually happens in the valley of two hills. Just have to take them as a guideline and not absolute truth - once you do that, you'll know when to trust them and when to go on your gut. Take the pic below - it's exaggerated, but in game the green dots would likely be going slowly left to right since the severe slope on the left trumps the slight slope filling the last half of the grid. So while the dots are moving left to right, if you are putting straight on, it will actually break right to left a bit.  |

yup, in other words, if the height of one edge is higher than the opposite edge, the grid will flow down, so if you are putting from the lower edge, the actual break can be in the opposite direction. its always a good idea to go free caming around the green if you are unsure of the pathway, never take for granted the grids as being 100% accurate.
