So, I doubt it's a programming issue, it's more than likely an aiming/swing tempo issue. Even if I still miss one every now and then, I don't blame the game. I'm the one controlling it. Hence the reason I said in my post... "just a thought".

You may have mis-understood what he was saying. He was saying that he understands your point but, with his experience the 'ball to hole' sensitivity seems a bit askew from previous versions.

I moved my analog swing stick to the right thumb. Not sure if that will help you or not. It's much simpler for me to perform a bottom right to top left swing with the right thumb stick as opposed to the left.

I'm playing on Tour Pro since it feels so much more natural to me for shaping shots and love how the ball reacts to what I'm doing and the things I try. But the play on and around the greens just is a mess to me. Perhaps I need more time with the game, but yeah that is almost a deal breaker for me

Try to give putting more time. It is very different than the full swing with a relatively short backswing and much slower follow through.

You might hit it with perfect tempo/swing, but if the hole/aiming point is 4 inches below the ball and you don't adjust your distance on screen, you're still coming in too hot with the ball and it's going to skip the cup. Much like it would if you hit the ball too hard right at the hole IRL. So, if it's several inches below, you know the ball is going to roll faster, so aim shorter. If it's 5 inches above, aim longer so you're giving it more power. If your skipping it over the cup, or burning the edge and it's not dropping, you've hit it too hard (regardless of what the tempo/swing meter says). Much the same if you're leaving it short with a perfect swing. You didn't "aim long enough"... err... hit it hard enough. Just a thought.

We know about the adjustment that has to be made when putting up hill or down hill. The problem is the games programming doesn't seem to be the same as previous years.

That is because it was built from the ground up from scratch. I have hade 2 or 3 putts roll through the cup, but I felt like I over powered the putt. Putting takes a lot more finess and touch in RM than previous Tiger versions...

Obviously opinions vary. It's a subjective and personal thing and isn't it great to have choices in how you play the game?

Entering the final round of The Players a few shots behind Rory really enjoying the challenge. My biggest thing is making sure I give it a full backswing. By trying to flick the stick up as fast I can for a full follow through I am usually short on my back swing. I tried to go all the way back this last round and had a few shanks into the woods. Had to punch out and scramble for par or bogey.

I play pretty fast I'm not sitting there lining up shots for over a minute giving it scientific calculations lol so far so good for me I'm in love with the game as a whole. Obviously there are the lacking features but give it a chance I'm sure there will be some patches and DLC to give it some new life later on. I won't be taking this game out of my PS4 for a while but I'm a golf junkie so to each is own I guess.

Just set up my twitch account on my playstation so feel free to add me guys.
