  6.2 foot putt slight uphill (says 0 with arrow up), championship greens, hit 6 feet and its short.  Explain this one to me WGT.  Bet you can try but there is no credible answer except flawed program.

  So it's not just me. I had almost identical. I started playing Chump greens like I used to play Leg Tourney greens. Cache clear did not help. 

  Anyone else?

  Took me a while to learn that champ greens play like tourney (legend) greens on uphill putts and like ice rinks on downhill putts.  The different courses have their own quirks, too.  It seems the uphill putts at Merion, Pinehurst and Oly usually need a little more oomph than you'd think at first blush, maybe because the slopes are more severe than the numbers indicate.

  Also look at the "new" view for slope...see if any humps are in the line, look behind the hole, etc...last thing, hit it like a red headed step child, never play it to just "drop in".

  You should always hit at least a foot more power,at least, on putts. I've had 10 footers that said they were 0 up, even from rear view, and hit 12 foot and they barely went in.

  The only thing you have to be careful with Champ speed greens are the downhill putts. Uphill putts you hit like tourny speed..within reason.

  Yeah not need to take anything off for a 6ft putt.  Hit it full power or a ft harder,
