Community Discussion On Chipping and Putting
i get why some people put up some stupid scores on the daily/weekly tournaments, they're to scared to putt on the greens and choose to chip or use the pitch shot, learn to putt and be good

@EA_Blueberry there are times you need to use a chip or pitch on a green and those are ok, and few and far between. if there is no obstruction from your lie to the hole it should always be putted.
putting is a big part of this game and should be learned by all.

Sounds like we're on the same page. There's the old saying, "Drives for show, putts for dough." The putts is where you separate yourself from the rest of the leaderboard.
Let's tee off some ideas here.
Suppose you were in the position to make changes to the game around this. What would you do? I for one, would love an online competitive mode where you only putt. All players start on the green at the same spot. Putts can range from uphill, downhill, slight breaks, and very drastic breaks. Could be fun to have a putting leaderboard and if enough golfers play that it could help encourage them to putt more from the green at long distances in the regular games?
@EA_Blueberry I played another title JNPG and on that game, it was set up so you had to putt on the green, I never let it bother me much and thought it was a fair way to play it just as long as all had to play it the same.
