  s it me or the game engine noticing what mode you are in and making it a little harder to make par or under?

  Nobody knows for sure but it seems that way sometimes. You're not the first person to ask this.  That's one of the biggest reasons I use the weekly unlimiteds for practice. :-)

  Thanks this helps a lot. The one thing I'm still having problems with is reading crossing break. I never can adjust my shot correctly to left or right and then I always miss!! Any suggestions?

  Just checked my stats & I've a dismal 1.75 putts per hole & am 3+ putting almost 10% of the time. 

  Woohoo! down to 1.74 putts per hole lol.

   

  1.72 putts per, but 3 putts now are down to 8.99% this is the key.

  Thanks for the tips!

  Is there a "practice" putting green on WGT?

  No. Popular spots are BPB #2, 3 and 4. SA #9 is great. Set up practice rounds or use the unlimited weeklies. You get 10 strokes a hole before you have to move on.

  I once tried to hit a shot into BPB #2 and I couldn't.  There were probably 80 - 100 golfers on the green practice putting.  And they weren't even wearing helmets...

  I can attest to the above, as I was with DMman that day...we got so bored waiting that Mocha started hitting shots off the top of my head for a nice military couple:

  Funny!  And since I hit most of my shots fat, it finally knocked some sense into you.  (And for those of you who are real golfers and students of the game... please notice my "over the top" move.)
