Yeah either message me on here or on xbox live. gt:dominick324

I'll give you the details.

Also I mentioned it before but we just broke into the top 100. Let's get to that 25 member mark so we can really push to the top.

If I may make a suggestion, I think the putt preview should be turned off. It's a lot more fun, in my opinion, to try and read the green using the putting grid on it's own. Also, the top scores in the tournaments reflect that too lol... Bumping it to Tour Pro difficulty might be the solution.

The problem is we have guys that range from the -15 scores to the +15 scores. Once those +15 guys start getting close to par rounds it will be turned off.

Im gonna take a shot at some putting tips... If they work for some people, I may post them more publicly....

Obviously, we are all struggling to hit the elusive Perfect/Perfect... I can get them, but am not totally consistent yet... Here is how I try....

1st method.... Pull all the way back on the stick, but transition forward much earlier than you think. It does seem that if you try to transition when it hits the line, you always hit in the red... It almost feels like there is a slight delay there.. On the transition, do so very smoothly... not the quick motion most of us are used to in Tigers of old or how we swing our full swings.... I get a lot of slight overswings with perfect tempo on this method... makes putts more manageable..

2nd method.... Pull back slowly, never bringing the stick all the way back... As you near the line, again transition very smoothly, do not slam the stick forward... The drawback is you could get the Under/Slow but hey, that would be an improvement over 30 ft away on the other side of the green.....

The trick is to find a stroke and alignment that gets you into at least 2 putt territory and then you will start dropping some longer ones in the process... anything beyond 15 ft.. I want my stroke to ensure an easy swing swing 2ftr that a over/fast wont matter on...

Once you have your stroke, play the break appropriately.. if you are always a tad fast or over... put the putt preview on the outside of the cup and "know" it will break less because of the speed...

I am consistent enough to post -15 to -18 on 18 holes in pro... not enough however to give a stroke or 3 away on any given rd... I can put up a clunker too if I stop paying attention....

Tell me if that makes sense or helps in any way....
