Re: Oakmont 16th putting off the fringe

  Hit a wedge into the green & just drifted off into the fringe 11ft behind the flag, hole level to the ball. Putting meter on 30yds, hit at about 25%, not perfect but not too bad & ball never moved. Same shot again, almost perfect strike, same again. Upped to about 40%, getting frustrated by now & so was way off a perfect strike but shot 8 yds past. Ate up 3 shots in a game you can ill afford to, not happy....

  Hi obee,

  When you notice unusually strange behavior please be sure right-click anywhere within the game client and choose "Submit this problem to WGT".  That will send your shot data and current situation along to the developers in a report.  When you send in the bug report they'll be able to look at your lie and your shot result to see if anything isn't acting like it should.

  Whenever I get on that fringe I pitch the shot, speaking from experience on this hole. The fringe is like velcroe there.

  I've had the same problem on 14, ended up forced to take a 9 because it took me 4 strokes to get off the fringe.

  As for fringe being like velcro, that is a game error. Fringe is never like velcro, especially downhill...game error

  On the other courses when on the fringe add about 3 extra feet to your putt.
