BolloxInBruges:
Count me in w/ the people that don't enjoy the course due to the greens. I tried to like the course but have found the time it would take to actually learn the greens based upon memory would take too long to even bother.
Still playing it once every 3-4 days and withdrawing at some point in the RG due to frustration outweighing the prize pool of a 100 cred RG, just in case they throw a winter tour event finals round on there next month.
This must be a first! Sam IS HUMAN!
thebigeasy707: I've completely given up on Whistler till they fix the greens. I mean when break shows huge swing from right to left and reverse view shows the same and chip view show right to left big swinging break.....it's just not acceptable that the putt breaks huge left to right and the exact opposite of what all the reads show.....so@Chris....it don't really matter where the hell you land on the green if your 3 ft putt swings the totally opposite direction to all the reads and misses the cup completely by 12 inches does it?
I've noticed in majority of places, you could have a FLAT looking green in putter view, change to chip view and it will show a break. If you ignore instinct to aim at pin because putter view showed flat but go with the chip view and aim left/right of pin (although it might be hard as putter view showed green to be flat) the ball follows the path of the chip view MOST of the time. SO just remember what break you had for chip view. I know it seems not natural, but chip view is truer on Cabo & Whistler for some reason, and i know its a strange situation as you think the putter view would be more accurate as its the putter we use to putt with, but as you say, who ever mapped the greens might have been on acid and got the 2 views mixed up! And if i was to trust putter view i doubt i would have scored so well at Chateau Whistler.
Yes, Whistlers greens are stupid in places, reminds me of crazy golf here in U.K (putt putt in US) but its the only way the course would be challenging! Imagine the scores if you had whistlers length but bethpage greens!
(A bit off subject, but i've just had the 2 luckiest/unluckiest shots in a row at Cabo. Hole#2, my approach with wood skimmed hole and i was inches away from double eagle, then on 3rd hole, my drive hit flagstick and stopped inches away for another possible double eagle. That would have stirred some action in my pants.LOL 2 double eagles in a row!!, Oh well, nice to fall back on 2 easy tap ins for eagle!.........Make that 3, landed within 2 yards on 4 too, 3 in a row. NICE!)
