Wow, 3 pages so far of mathematical nonsense from most who should know better.
Has the OP stated which hole he is talking about? Which course?
Is a long, 4ft uphill putt always the same? eg. what if the last 10 or 20 ft is actually downhill, what was the wind direction? how does that affect all these Euclid calculations?
Whole thread meaningless till these questions are answered.
To give a bit of context, when Bandon came here, there is a hole where I seemed to almost always go left, for whatever reason, the resultant putt was very uphill, ok?
Only thing was I was hitting it miles past each time, why?
Because once the brow of the hill had been crested it was then rapidly downhill, which throws all these calculations away till we know which hole in particular the OP is talking about.
