    Ok ,  WTH I don't want to be a complainer  put come on. If the green shows a break at least make the ball break, on at least 5 holes on the Toughest Holes Tourney with in 3 ft greens showed a break ,ball went straight as an arrow. Front nine -5 wound up shooting a 67. 

    Come on WGT at least be fair if there is no break then don't show one

    Just sayin.

    This isn't real life though is it.  The only way we know there is a break is by the moving dots, so if the dots move you presume there's a break, but a lot of breaks are actualy "fake".  Unless you've memorised where they are (cabo#11 is 1st obvious choice) then they can cost you strokes in a tournament.

    But i've seen breaks not effect ball when having a average round, but same break same place will actualy turn the ball towards hole when your on a hot round!

    I understand this, but what your are forgetting is this is a man made game, witch  is programmed. My point is there are some holes that do lie, but not 3-4 on the same course. Also in real life you are not going to see the scores you see in this game either.

    If you were playing the hardest hole tourney, remember that it is championship green speeds so the ball will be moving much faster and will not break as much.

    Ww, may I offer up some advice - There is no such thing as a perfectly level green. That said - Nearly every putt will break - The amount of break depends on several things - How much slope is in the green between your ball and the cup - and how firm or soft you choose hit the ball. The 3ft putts you refer to - should in most cases be struck to travel a distance of 4ft. - Simply because 98.5% of all putts hit short, will not go into the hole. For you at your level of experience, rounds played, and putts struck. 3 ft putts should have become automatic. This doesn't appear to be the case. Try this - in the reverse veiw - set the arrow.. -V- on or in the high side of the cup. Never give up the cup - (or move it out of the cup and expect it to come back) - Just simply help your ball hold this line to the hole, buy a simple push right (block) or pull left (pull). - This is done by being either early or late on these putts from tdc or the ding. I recommend putting these in the forward view to help remind you which side of the line is your target point of contact. Early or Late -This is simply how you would open or close the face of you putter at contact as in RL golf. Try this method for a round or (7) , and let me know if you see any improvement, or if your confidence level improves. And remember! All 3ft putts should be automatic.

    Hope this helps,

    i had a 5 ft putt on #3 Kiawah today, had some break in it but not that much, so I aim just outside top edge and ding a firm distance, and dam thing misses below the hole and 3 ft past.  Seriously, if i hit one that firm how does it miss below the hole...maybe because I birdied the 1st 2 holes that wgt decided to control the game.  After I missed that putt, several irons and putts were inconsistent.  Has anyone ever felt like you had wgt intervention!!!

    CC, thats why I made the post, let me explain lets give a value to the moving balls from 1 - 10.Mine were all moving about 2 or 3 all balls were fairly in line with each other. I place my arrow on the EDGE of the cup , maybe a little off the EDGE I strike the ball with enough power to not over power the break, the ball goes straight as an arrow and I miss.
