  3 days in a row i noticed putts are killing me on Bethpage #12. Using 30 yd putter about 9 yd strong - goes like it's a 15yd strength. First day I thought I screwed up. Second day forgot to save. Today again. here's the link. can someone from WGT look into this please.

  What is the green speed? That is acting like a too fast putt on Legend speed greens. It's downhill from there and misses on Legend speed greens going down hill don't stop.

  Master Green level - but i'm thinking it's a putter issue - just happened again on St Andrews

  I know green speeds - may not be best putter, but check my stats - I'm not this bad. using Daytona level 55 putter.

  it's called being in the bad spot. you killed the putt & slope by hitting it too hard

  it's likely a 15ft putt thats 6" down, so your speed was 7 max and aim 2ft right, So, only way to make it is via arc putt, so if u miss, you can save par. Other way is what you did, hit it hard and pray it rams in...if it doesn't, you have a bogey afterwards.

  the STA, seems like you used wrong meter??

  Then how do you explain the basically straight putt on St Andrews? 35 ft uphill with a 30 ft meter hit at 15ft?

  Are you sure that was a 30 foot meter and not a 30 yard (90 foot) meter? It looks like you're on the fringe and your putter may have defaulted to the yards scale.
