Ya putting is really tough. When there is a black squares around the flag stick when you're putting, that means its up hill so you should hit the ball hard. If there are red squares, its down hill and you shouldn't hit it as hard. If there are blue squares, it means its level and you hit it not to hard or soft. Also, if there are little dots on the squares and they are all going 1 direction, its showing the slopes (brakes) on the green so you would want to aim the opposite direction the dots are going. Also, a big key to putting his hitting the ball perfect (the smallest box in the hitting meter). If you get good at hitting the ball perfect, you will be a really good putter.
