The downtown effect One of the keys to putting is understanding the “downtown effect”. The Views Golf Club was built in such a way that it has a slight tilt toward downtown Tucson. This will affect the speed of your putts when putting towards Tucson. They will be faster. The opposite will be true putting away from Tucson. It will also effect the break when putting west to east (left to right) or east to west (right to left). When in doubt, remember the “downtown effect”.
