  is activated the second the club touches the ball......so how does it already know where your ball is ending up before it even stops??

  I hit the meter on a  ball way too early on a ctth shot and got a heartbeat sound that I figured had to be wrong........... but my ball took a lucky bounce and ended up a foot and a half from the hole!   How did it know I was going to get that lucky bounce??????

  Software/hardware   :)   It's amazing how fast a silicon chip with the right instructions can process (calculate) information relative to the human brain.  Within probably 1/1000th of a second, the solution was achieved within the parameters of the environment.  That lucky bounce (position/topography)  was practically an instantaneous input the moment you "hit" the ball with your velocity (vector) information.  Just a time scale we are not used to in every day life.  -Keith

  Yep, as soon as you click to hit, or miss, the ding the game knows where the ball will finish.  I once switched screens during a round as my playing partner was about to putt and it showed his score drop by 1 shot well before the ball reached the hole.
