Re: Worst courses to putt on....

I think putting is pretty decent overall except for the rollovers, which seem to happen randomly no matter how hard or soft you hit the ball. I even gave Evian another go during my current career and on every green anxiously waited for something weird to happen but it never really did.

One thing I have noticed though, and am curious if anyone else is noticing it, is that a lot of putts, both uphill and downhill are coming up short (and before anyone says anything, I do know how to calculate the putts), and feel like I have to place the marker even further past the hole than I used to. I have noticed a distinct slow down as they approach the hole and come to a stop agonizingly close to dropping in. Even downhill putts are sometimes coming up much shorter than one would expect when struck correctly. I don't know if wind affects putts in this game, at least I have never noticed it before.

As for the preview I never use it so my misses are my own. I do wish they would turn the preview off in the tournament modes. It just distracts me.

    I don't play nearly as much as I did when the game was released before I maxed out my character. During this period I had a pretty good feel for putt weight, always leaving the ball about a foot from the hole. Well with the exception of extreme uphill putts. Though I knew how much further I needed to hit the ball I just could never convince myself to do it.

    I added this as background information, because unlike youself I'm finding my putts are rolling a little more than I expect when I do play.
