Best thing I can suggest is to map your clubs for both carry and roll out. Different courses will have greens with big differences in roll out due to the green apparent softness...think St. Andrews, RSG and Chambers Bay compared to CCC or Merion for example. So that will change your planning of shots some what.
Or you can take notes during single play, keeping in mind wind direction, slope, distance and elevation.
As a general rule, approaches uphill will roll out more than level or downhill. But as Phred said, it's all about playing different courses and taking note of results.
As for Saint Andrews, those greens are bowling alleys without gutters.
Use back spin on the ball , And you wont have to worry too much about the roll ..
Unless you use those crappy balls with 0 spin , Then its any ones guess.
I sent you a sleeve of Tour SD , The spin rating is 2 , Good Luck

Those are better than what he is using, the WGT B-XD ball. He also has the L94 Max irons. So not a lot of spin available with his set up. That was why I suggested he map his roll out as well as carry.
