  just turned tour master and my game is falling apart..lol

  Never was a great putter but did ok.Have played quite a few tourny greens in rg's but these seem different,more break.

  Not sure why you want to gain tiers just makes things harder

  Practice is the only answer. They change again when you reach Legend.

  Congratulations on your Promotion. Most of us when changing to a new Tier have problems, I know I did when I got to Legend, it was a nitemare...lol, but now I'm flying and enjoying it. You will get the hang of it,  so don't get discouraged :)

  If you havn't read the 'Putting Tips' in the Faqs, to the right of screen... then read it.. It's  the start of being a very good putter and if you have read it, read it again.

  Cheers

  I've just done this and am struggling also. Not at Matchplay or Alt shot, just stroke play. Just keep putting them scores in. It slowly comes back to you.

  I reckon (hope) I'm just turning the corner as hit my best ever on BPB yesterday.

  When the green speed changes you forget that it effects your approach as well as your putting. So the only thing that stays the same is your drive on Par 4's & 5's.

  Cheers

  As you go up in tiers Bethpage gets easier and Kiawah gets harder.

  Im probably 1 of the biggest moaners when to comes to greens (and everything else). But it is definitely worth the hassle to play  at, or near the top tier. The breaks on the greens do change, and even more so as you advance in the game. But just remember that you probably couldn't putt on the slow greens when you started, but then got better at it as you went on. Its the same in any tier you move into, the greens seem hard, but then you get used to them. Stick with it, and  you will be rewarded with a very  satisfying game, but also very frustrating game at the same time. Its what brings us all back here in the long run.
