Figuring out Oakmont's slippery green's

  Is there a bug in the Oakmont greens.  Sometimes I hit a 17ft - 25ft put (blue)(uphill) and use a full bar at 25 feet and it FLIES 25-35 feet past.  Other times, same put goes and stops 1 foot from the hole. 

  Is it me or what the hell is going on??

  Any chance they added 'grain' to the greens?

  Well as my first round was plus14 i would say, Shut eyes and pray

   

  Plus14 OMG lets see how to improve on that

  Round 2 a little better only 8 over

  I have learned a few things and i will pass these tips on.

  Arrows on greens indicating break and degree, ignore them all

  Distance to hole indicator,ignore all irrelevant,

  In fact any info the game is giving you ignore,go with the gut

  Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
