    Welcome Mikejon - you have been around WGT for a while and I'm not sure how much you have gotten into these Forums.  Rather than 'assume' I'll try to point you to threads that will help you:

    These first 2 threads are very good introductions to putting. The 3rd 'Gold's Putting Formula' to will teach you how to read the greens. The final one offers both a wind calculator and a putting calculator that will run on Windows based computers.

    Stonecold's putting clinic :

    Putting tip: distance control:
    http://www.wgt.com/forums/t/136065.aspx

    Many top players say that this is the most consistent and accurate method available. It most be read very carefully & practiced to work for you -  (It takes way too long, if you are in a game with another player, so work with it on solo practice rounds).

    UPDATE:Bilko's Putter Pal - New Wind Calculator:
    http://www.wgt.com/forums/t/81305.aspx?PageIndex=1

    ScottHope is right - there is no shortcut for practice, but the above reading will give you some firm grounds from which to grow!

    Good Luck!!

    mikejon:

    im new to wgt love the game but the putting is crazy the avatar is always off to the side very hard to line up putts I use a ghost spider putter, slow meter balls and I still 3 putt what is the deal any advice would be great.thanks mike.

    Use Reverse View when putting. Much easier to read the breaks and line up.

    Cheers,

    Bob
