Killah . . . How do you do the greens? You section them off and use a level? Do you putt to or roll balls? How does the process work? Are you guys using this info on approach shots as well? Like if your dude puts hook putts better do you consider that from the fairway?

Thanks!

How was that for a finish///// Congrats to BB he's a great guy

The Tour places most of the pins 3 or 4 paces from the edges; so that is where I spend a lot of time. I start at the front and every 5 paces (4 fr edge) I take a reading with my level / left and right, down the middle and accross the back. The level, by the way is round disk about 8" in diam; (looks like a fris). I then do the ridges and finally roll balls. We are not allowed to use a putter/ I found that out the first Tourn. I worked on the old Nike Tour/ I was out on a green putting away and an official came along and told me that he did not think I could use a putter. I asked if he could check and by the time he got back to me I was finished //////

I also roll balls between the sprinkler heads that surround the green; this gives me another view of how longer putts might react

By the way the level I use came from England and was never put on the market that I am aware of.

A little story to go with this;

Pres Cup 2000

I went to the course a week before the matchs and spend the time doing my own book and charting the greens. Last match on Sunday the guys are tied; seventeenth green, other player has made par and my man has 6 or 7' for birdie and the lead. I'm standing over at he side of the green; both teams are there because it is the last match//(the Cup has been won but if my man wins his match it will be the most points ever) My man asked me to look at the put, I don't move I just tell him the put is straight; everyone laughs; someone says you din't even look; I say I don't have to, its straight;;; My pro says well can I put it left centre, I like left centre. I said sure, left centre, right centre, whichever fits your eye///the puts straight.

He makes the put left centre and wins 1 up
