Re: showing green contours from sand

  It would be wonderful if we could see green contours on the reverse view when in a trap. It's hard to know where to aim on the green when you don't know which direction the green is sloping.

  If there already is an ability to do this and I'm just missing it I'd love to know about it.

  Switch to your putter while in the trap and you can see the putter grid all the way to the pin.

  More suggestions will be forthcoming from great players I expect, so please wait for those.  : )

  Pitch chip and flop view do the same thing, the only difference is the only give you a 15 box by 15 box view, not the entire area.

  Depending on your wedges you can actually pitch and flop outta the sand. Never tried chipping and can't say I ever will

  *mediocre player suggestion...

  Pitch and chip view (with a long enough club selected) will get you the movable, and IMO more accurate, grid in forward or reverse view.

  Thanks everyone! I've only ever used full shots out of traps so I'll try some other views. Maybe experiment some with other shot types also to see if I find something more consistent.

  Make sure you go through your pre-shot checks again afterwards just to make certain you don't use the wrong shot type.

  The Pitch, Chip, Flop putting green grid is bigger than 15 feet by 15 feet.

  Each grid square is 2' x 2'. At 13 x 13 full squares the grid is a 26 foot by 26 foot box that has 1 foot extensions on each side making the grid a total of  - 28 feet by 28 feet.

  I would also like to see the contours when hitting from farther out.

  To view the green contours from farther out, select either pitch, chip or flop shot. (1)

  Click and hold the aim marker to get the grid to appear. (2)

  For a closer view, right click and select zoom in from the context menu. (3)

  Finally, before making your shot, go through your pre-shot routine again.

  Never said it was 15ft by 15 ft said 15 boxes by 15 boxes.

  13 full boxes with extensions going out on either side is essentially 15 boxes by 15 boxes, just didn't clarify or explain it all that well
