I was wondering is the same formula appiled to Xbox as Ps2 ?

Im on the $$ as long as its inches,( 3 in up = 1.5 ft. ) but when it gets

to ft. I am blowing past holes or wayy short.

EX. I had like 23FT putt @ 2 ft. down ( 2ft = 24 in / 2 = 12 ft ) , I played

it for 11 FT and was

15 ft. past ??????? HELP !!! tired of this " ONE STEP FWD TWO BACK "

Boost thing this year..

...check the green speed, some of the challenges are set on "fast" or "very fast"

All I can tell you, is that I usually consider one foot of elevation, to be about 7-10 feet of putt length. I adjust it by feel. On longer putts I go about 10 feet of putt length per 1 foot elevation. On short ones, I go about 7 feet per.

So for the putt you descibed...I would have hit it about 7 feet. It was certainly somewhere in between the 3ft- 8ft range.

2 feet elevation = 14-20 feet of putt length.

Of course the great variable is the damn green speed. I'd love to see only 1 speed available online. Maybe even offline.
