I agree there's a fair few who play and don't say a word, that's fine some people aren't there to chat, just play, but i will say that in my experience from the start when i have played anyone more experienced they all been more than happy to advise me, I expect I've been lucky, or perhaps you've been a bit unlucky, I am only a Tour Pro and average player but i'd be ahppy if you wanted to add me as a friend and have a few games, and if there was anything I could tell you i would,
Here is one thing I learned from an advanced player when I was much lower you may already know it but, if you are on the green and say you are 10 feet away for your put and it says it rises by 3 inches, you need to add 1 foot of distance to your put for each inch it rises, so you'd be putting somewhere near 13 foot, the same is true if your ten foot put is sloping down 3 inches, you'd knock off a foot for each inch and play around a 7 foot putt, apart from that you have to take in to consideration the speed of the green so for me, i play on very fast greens so on my over all total i'll knock off just short of 3 feet on any decent length put, if i was on just fast green i'd knock off maybe a foot to 18 inches etc, the one foot for 1 inch is a good benchmark to start with, you could play some practice rounds to refine it, getting that little bit of advice was a big help for me as i always land 15 to 20 feet from the hole.
