Put lines are never accurate, and they can't be:

Do you know what speed/distance the ai used to calculate that line? No? Me neither...

I don't think the putt line was ever to supposed to be a perfect represntation of the shot. But it could be, and it would consistent with the rest of the game (a bit broken).

But to answer your question... of speed/distance, I think the OP expects the ball to travel on that line if you hit the mark on the putting meter. Not that I use either.

The mark on the putting meter is just one part of the equation though: you move the marker further forward and hit the mark and your ball still travels faster / further with a different trajectory. 

That's why, as you said, some lines are shown with a substantial higher arch than necessary - you hit the ball somewhat firmer and straighten out the arch.

We can't say for sure what "distance marker settings" the ai uses, hence we can't follow the line 1:1 in most cases - doesn't mean it couldn't be followed in theory. 

Either way, just looking at the line as a guide and not seeing it as a definitive "aim here" is a healthy approach to this.
