[12 piece bucket]

I used to spend a lot of time checking every number and making changes if one was even out a yd. But, over the years, I have learned that scoring takes place on the greens so that is where I spend most of my time now.

When I first go to a new course I try to get a look at the original blue prints for the greens (grn supt) and how the course was layed out. I also ask the supt about greens than are a little firmer or softer and any that have been doctored up in the last year. Then I spend about on hr on each hole doing my charts etc.

On a course, like Congressional next week, where I have both played and caddied, I just check for changes which takes about 4 hrs.

Caddies are given pin sheets for each day starting on Thursday. Once again, if the course is new to me, I like to go out in front of the first group, if I have time, and laser all the pins against the pin sheet. Both Hen and I have found pins to be off as much as 5 or 6 yds (also on the wrong side of the green), either because of mistakes or because they were not measued from the direction of play

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!
