  phred952:

  I would, but the first time I tried to hit a 5 ft putt on Legend (Stimp 12) greens using your system I came up with this math:

   5 - 11 =  -6.  I couldn't figure out how to hit a putt -6 ft, so I quit the round.

  Perhaps you need to rethink the logic of what you said.

  Oh come on Phred that one was easy. You putt backwards 6ft.

  Good help tips to , in this "Putting Tip Distance Control" thread. 

  There are many great tips to help with putting distance control already posted on this thread. Maybe Ijack would have been better off reading through the thread and learning something about putting distance control rather than posting a load of nonsense that clearly doesn't work.

  Nice to know we can always come here and get our bubble burst, belittled, made fun of. 

  Wasn't making fun or belittling anyone. Just pointing out that his one putt stat shows that his "system" does not work.

  putting speed & distances

  This is simple and has always worked for me....

  You'll know what type of green you'll be shooting by looking at the highest-tier member of your group.  If that is a master, greens will be Very Fast.  If there is a Tour Master, that will be Tournament.  If there is a Legend, the greens will say "TOURNAMENT" BUT IN FACT THEY ARE LEGEND TOURNAMENT GREENS, SO BE AWARE.

  Slow = -10%

  Standard = add 2 ft to putting distance

  Fast = deduct 4 ft from putting distance 

  Very Fast = deduct 7 ft from putting distance

  Tournament Speed = deduct 10 ft from putting distance

  Legend Tournament Speed = deduct 11 ft from putting distance

   

  At least he is good with HTML code.

  My one putt % is 38.97%. Not the greatest in the world, but adequate. My problem is more aim rather than speed. These adjustments have worked for me:

  Fast (9)                         Add one foot to the distance

  Very Fast (10)              Multiply the distance by .88

  Tournament (11)         Multiply the distance by .8

  Tournament (12)         Multiply the distance by .75

  Championship (13)    Multiply the distance by .7

  Give it just a little more for an uphill put, and a little less for a downhill, particularly on Tournament and Championship speeds.

  You're more than welcome. I got those when I started a couple of years ago. They may have even been somewhere on this thread, considering how far it goes back.
