Inaccurate greens

  Hi,

  Can someone explain to me how an uphill putt of 46 ft goes 56 feet when I hit it 50 feet??? This is tournament greens not championship greens. It was the 9th hole @ Merion and was 46 feet short right with the pin back left. I don't understand how that happens. And a load of BS that cost my partner and I a chance to go to extra holes in AS

  Thanks

  A putt hit with 50ft of strength on Tour Master greens will go around 68 ft on the flat so it sounds reasonable.

  I note that you are at TM tier and were playing MP. If one of the folk was at L tier, you were actually playing on the faster Legend tourney speed greens, instead of the TM tourney greens which are a tad slower.
