  why is it i land inside of 3 feet some times closer and miss putts in no way should this happen  if i have a tap thats what it should be come on the uneven lies around the are crazy let a tap be a tap already hard enough to get it that close in the first place should have to fight to get it the hole from that close comeon wtg

  I had major prob's with that at first. Take the break out and hit it that little bit harder. There's a math equasion for all putts, IMHO it works the longer you are from the hole, but the closer I am to the hole I would add a little yardage to the math equasion.

  (not best to do this on downhill putts though)

  Some of the holes here have wild breaks right at the hole. # 2 at St. Andrews is a good example of this. Are you saying that you have never missed a short putt in real life because the break at the hole was so wild that you just missed it?? Even the best miss those at times.
