  WGT......I thought by now you would have fixed the fringe putting glitch (bug).  Back in the good ole days of putting from the fringe........you could add some more distance and still get the ball rolling to the pin.........now it just whiffs on most fringe putts.  It is so inconsistent, who really knows if we can putt or do we have to chip????

   

  I have been playing here for more than a year now, this all seemed to change when you added Oakmont.  Is there something that is in the works to fix this????  or do we just have to live with it??

  Thanks

  I don't trust the fringe...and yes, I think I noticed the problem when Oakmont came into play.  I've resorted to chipping from the fringe almost exclusively as it is much more reliable.

  I have noticed its mostly just a problem when putting on tournament and champ greens. Its not too bad on very fast. I still occasionally risk putting when the ball is right on the edge of the fringe... Maybe faster fringes would help...
