SgtDoodles:

Your formula for tournament greens doesn't cover the 3 different tournament greens. There are Tour Master Ranked Round tournament greens (in-between), Ready-Go tournament greens (slightly slower) and Legend Ranked Round tournament greens (slightly faster). I can confirm with other experienced players these three are slightly different. Which of the three did you use to make these calculations?

Sarge,

I see what you mean. The 70% is for TM Ranked greens. Legend Ranked Round tournament greens are 60%. As for the Ready-Go's, I am in the dark, but it would take one green for me to figure out the adjustment, which is pretty obvious, I think.

Thanks for the question!

I find that If you add the 2 ft. of power to get it past the hole Before subtracting the percentage (or actually I multiply by .7 or .8 or whatever - same thing, just easier to do on a calculator) you will get more consistent results over various distances - you won't be blowing that 7 footer by the hole and that 17 footer will still get there nicely.

I'll try that out and post my experience back on here. That thought has occurred to me, but I got into the habit of the way I do it, so....

Thanks for the tip!

Birdwell,

I've tried your method and you are correct. I've incorporated it into the formula and now use it myself. Thanks!

Wow! Shorter version of this..... Use This!

Of course you have to adjust your speed based upon flat, uphill or downhill putt but a lot easier....

Sgt B,

True, this does appear to be a simpler approach. However I personally find the routine I go through to determine putting distance to act like a mantra and focus me for the task. Yes, that sounds much too serious, I know. But it works for me. Thanks for posting this scale, I'm sure some players will find it very useful for them.
