Hi James, my name is Mike (mike0424) and I am glad to meet you. Welcome aboard! Maybe we can play a few rounds sometime.
I pasted this from Excel. It is a spreadsheet I made up and I use it on the green, that is if I reach it. Each putter has a choice of putt distances (which I call increments) which can be changed by the blue up and down arrow to the right of the distance reading. Using the Putter Pal I calcuted the distance of each increment. On the green the distance to the hole is given in feet with the elevation in inches. On the green with standard green speed I guesstimate that each inch elevation up or down is approximately one foot. As an example, if the distance to the hole is 23 feet and the change in elevation is 5 inches down, and the putter increment is 30, I will look in the 30 column and choose the % closest to 18 (23-5 = 18). I have made two eagles using this method.
Each putt distance can be controlled by movements of the putter which can be approxiated by each movement of the putter. In the second section I approximated these movements.

I hope this helps. Please feel free to copy these calculations and share them with the community. A bad day at golf is better than the best day at work, unless of course your namde is Tiger or Phil.
