  Would appreciate any help on putting, specifically on how much meter force to apply.

  E.G. a thirty foot put with multiple color grids- black to dark blue to light blue. I am an absolute basket case on longish putts with multiple colors

   

  Any suggestions most appreciated.

   

  Thanks.

  To learn 'how to read" greens, Type G0LD (spelled Gee Zero El Dee) in the SEARCH box on the right side of this page.= (above the FAQs).

  For how putt -  type   StoneCold

  I would say play in practice mode and then use the mulligan feature to practice your putts.  You can start to get the feeling for the speed you need.

  Colours is just up and down - blue is uphill, red and orange is downhill.
  Explained in the FAQs =>

  More help:

  1) Printable putter scales - select the proper scales.

  2) Observe the green speeds - important difference!

  3) basic rule of slope: 1 inch up or down equals 1 foot more or less power (differing with green speed).

  Other than that, practice, read, practice, ask!

  Did I mention practice?
