    I'll give you my account of the ready go I just played with scenes of horror and disbelief on Whistler 4.  Had to laugh because it was so funny.  Although I double Bogeyed i was laughing so much i decided to carry on for a change instead of withdrawing, which was good decision after the amount of eagles WGT seemed to give me for the hardship i received on #4, so happy with 58 after the 5hit i went through on 4.

    I think Whistler 4 needs to be adjusted about a foot all around the hole because the breaks are all wrong which are advertised and just seems to confuse us.

    Birdie putt: Its shows I'm in a valley, but the line i take has right to left break, chip view confirms this.  But instead of curling right to left into hole ball seems to fly right defying any break which is given to us.

    Whats so funny about this putt is that i had similar putt last time from same place but was a few inches left and heading more in line to hole but that putt went LEFT of the hole not right!

    right then next shot, where i end up is above the hole, I double check putter & chip view both show a slight left to right break, i thought what the hell and hit straight for cup, the ball clearly goes LEFT, opposite to any break advertised.

    Just as i thought my round couldn't get no worse this happens!! Another break which is opposite to what was advertised.  Its a bit unatural to ignore whats shown and go opposite to the break advertised. Fair enough if you remember about these "fake" breaks, lesson #1...Take notes of this green

    I just wanted to show every one (most all ready know) and WGT that there's a foot radius around the cup which is totally wrong , and although this was 1st time for it all to happen at once, I've been caught out with 1  before, but never all at once

    I have some like that myself on different courses,2-3 ft putts on tourney greens hit for 1ft ding meter and ball rockets of face straight left and goes about 7-8 ft by,then got a 5-6 footer to save par.

    When you play here you have to see "hidden lie" on 4. I always recognize that when I putt on that angle I'll have that hidden lie.

    Somewhat like the break from above the hole on #15 Bethpage (front pin)...

    It shows the putt breaking to the right when it actually breaks left, if I remember rightly...

    Hard to get a ball to stop above the hole ...

    This replay shows the break ...
