But I only get good at that particular green -- it doesn't really work when I face something new. Lets hear what the Guru has to say.

It's good to see I'm not the only one with this problem. A few days this year I have seen the line on almost every putt, but the rest were like searching blindfolded.  The worst part is that I've played for a long, long time and I study putts from all sides. Give me bent grass and I have a chance
