    I tried to putt a 24' putt on the 7th hole and it only rolled 8'.  I tried a second time and the ball only rolled 11'.  This happened today @1:50 PM.

    Your incomplete description doesn't allow for a direct answer. Instead, some general hints to putting:

    Select your own scale to have a low meter putt after observing
    - if you are on the green or fringe (a different shot may be better from the latter),
    - green speed,
    - slope,
    - wind direction (on heavy wind).

    Such pre-shot routine is advisable throughout the game.

    There are plenty of putting aides around, in the FAQs =>
    and in the forums, search =>

    I call them treacle putts. It's as if your ball suddenly hits a patch of treacle part way to the hole. All the putting aides in the world are of no help because once it hits the treacle it stops quick. I've got a few replays saved on my profile page as I've been meaning start a thread about them in the vain hope that someone has a cure. One day maybe.

    Would it stop at 1/3 of the line?
