    Hole #1 at cabo, i'm 4 foot from hole, my putter view shows a break travelling from right to left, i double check and look at chip view.  The chip view shows a break from left to right, opposite to what putter view shows. I've come to learn that the chip view is more accurate than putter view so i aim left of cup and sink the putt.  If i had gone with the putter view, yes the view we are MEANT to use for putting, i would have aimed  right of cup and putt would have gone wide!

    This is not only a 1 hole experience, most of the holes on cabo, the putter view is completely different to chip view, and the chip view is the one which is accurate.

    Did the person from wgt make a mistake whilst mapping the greens and got chip and putter the wrong way round?  Common sense shows that putter view should be the most accurate as its the putter we need to use to sink the putts, so why does it show the wrong break yet chip view shows the correct one.  People should therefore get in the habit of double checking your break with chip view, and start trusting the chip view as right, even though it might show an opposite break to the putter view.   It might be a slow & tedious having to flick from putter to chip and back to putter, but it will pobably save a few strokes on a round at Cabo and stop those WTF putts.LOL

    (but wgt have got it the wrong way round if chip view is more accurate than putter view)

    Cabo is also the one where one of the reverse cameras is messed up. Hole 15, 16, or 17 I think it is. The final over-the-green reverse view camera (best used to set up your approach) is bugged, in that if you click on it the camera goes off the screen.

    Sorry to not be more specific, I don't play the course as often as others - but each time I did the bug was still present.

    Chris don't forget the short par 4 11th where you actually have to PULL the putt to sink it despite it showing a strong right to left break lol

    That 11th green is my biggest pet peeve about this whole game!!!!

    This is what i'm getting at, look at the steep break on 11th through chip view, it shows the green as flat, how it should be, not 100 mph moving dots as in putter view.  Thats what gets me, we are meant to use putter to putt, so why is the chip view, something we are not meant to use on the green, more accurate than putter view.  Thats why maybe wgt have got this one the wrong way round by mistake, some naughty employee thought he would have a laugh and swap round the headings on the programmers desk, he swapped the putter view with chip view.LOL

    I don't think they are swapped, they are just wrong.

    Both views should look similar, in fact if the grid size is the same, they should be spot on to each other, IMO, unless I am missing something obvious?

    Yes, your missing the fact that it is the CIB view. So his is much worse than ours, and the game is against him. As he has said many times before in this forum.

    @Chris(2345) You don't have to be so hard on Chris B. He is only at times pointing out what he believes is an anomaly with the game. Sometimes others can explain what he experienced with a shot is actually part of the game. And not to mention he's one of your fellow countrymen.

    I hear ya Richard, i'm just fed up with him (CIB) always posting crap about the game, and how he makes out it's always just on him. He doesnt think for one minute that the same might be happening to his apolent, but all we hear is his constant moaning. Which is why I'm apossing what he says and asking for proof. As so far, he has proven he often aggerates his posts by a long way.
