  Got to tour master a few days ago and my my putting sucks on very fast greens. Having a hard time making many putts from close up 3-8 feet. Worse from further away. I was competing in ready goes and brackets but not so much any more. Any help would be appreciated.

  You're green speed is a little bit faster now, therefore due to you needing to hit the putt with less pace the break will come more into effect, try adjusting your aim for a little more break than you were used to

  So that you don't waste useful hits on paid for balls. Set your mode to practice and hit the 'Rock'  set your practice round to the green speed you need. Use the 'Putt Preview'. align, adjust your %, watch where it rolls. Let your meter run through without swinging re-adjust your read and ding the putt. I hope you track what your doing. Never waste good balls on putting practice but you need to practice!  practice!  and practice!

  This motto is used by the locals at St Andrews -

  "If at first you don't succeed, pull yer foreskin o'er yer heed".

  L70+ Versa putter will fix the problem .One of the best putters in the pro shop and possibly the last putter you will ever buy . It will most definitely help with your putting woes and put some pep back in your game .

  I was thinking of a putter upgrade but none available to me really have much better specs than the one I have.
