Re: Generic Putter / Putting Chart

  On request, I have created a putting chart for generic use. I think I have included all sizes of clubs, but please let me know if I have missed any off.

  This only takes into account a completely flat green and so, as far as I'm aware, add 1 foot per 1 inch uphill, deduct 1 foot per 1 inch downhill. Can someone confirm this?!

  Feedback welcome!

  Good work, though it has been done before.

  Note 1: There are two "Tournament" green speeds. You posted the slower one, "Tour Master" speed, 130%. The other, "Legend" speed, is at 135%, 40.5 ft for the 30 ft scale.

  Note 2: 1 extra foot for an inch of elevation is about true for very fast greens. It's less for slower greens and more for faster ones. Special care = paranoia when putting downhill on Championship greens!

  Note 3: There are 10ft + 20ft scales on some putters, AFAIK.

  downhill putt charts are very iffy in my view.

  A 10 foot putt downhill on tournament greens with 5 inches down, what does ur chart say.

  e.g. at Congo #10

  I think i would hit 2.5

  Also on Merion #13 if u are above the hole 6 feet away on a standard green i would hit at least 7 - 8, and on a slow green there I would hit at least 9 - 10

  Downhill putts on slow greens are very strange, you sometimes have to add extra  to what you would normally hit for that speed
