  Some great putting tips just went up on the site.  I am putting the link below for you.  I find the most helpful one is the reverse view.

  I just don't play it. It's just a joke of a course.

  My putting can be very streaky, either hot or cold. Whistler is very tough with certain holes yielding very few birdies, such as hole 4, and 12, off the top of my head. 

  I do find myself missing more short putts at whistler than i miss at other courses, but with practice and of course leaving yourself short putts with as little break as possible, whistler can be had! 

  Just keep at it and try to leave yourself uphill putts.

  Use Chip View.  Move the aimer around and pay close attention to where the dots change speed.  Look for places where there might be a big change in elevation at the edge of a grid square.

  Whistler has some spots that are almost impossible to putt from.

  I would guess that the OP got into a few of those places since it appears that they can putt reasonably well from the evidence of 9 putts on BPB.

  Some courses have spots that you just have to accept a 2 putt.  If you continue to run everything at the hole with enough pace to go 2 feet by, you will once in a while hit one of those spots that you have an 8 foot putt that ends up 15 feet by the hole.

  I said this long ago.....but these greens are not even close to the way they are in real life. I have played this course several times and they did a horrible job of setting this up. The greens are not even close to this severe....they are actually quite flat....not sure how this came to be....but they aren't in any way like Truegolf has made them appear.
