The tutorial may have shown you the "shot pal" which is available in the proshop, but if you use the search box to your right, you can find free alternatives which work just as well , if not better ( check out Wigertoods' putt/shot pal, or DaddyKat's graphs) . As far as making friends, check out a country club, play some Alt shot or blitz, and if you have a good time with some players, just click on their profile pic & click "send friend invite".BTW, invite sent.
