  DO NOT PRESS YOUR MOUSE HARDER - it does not add the extra yards you want

  Of course it does!  So does tilting your head with the ball when you try and hook the trees on Beth #2!

  But it makes me feel like I am trying harder.

  Try this (replay):

  Cabo #3 from front tees, 253 yds (indication was more(?) or I read 283 in error?)

  Take G20 (284 yds) driver, a wee headwind, a tad bs, 90% meter => 295 carry,

  OOB @320 yds

  Pffft goes a nice ball and a nice round :(

  Not surprising when noting the pin is 31 feet below the tee!  A 240yd 3W was a safer and wiser selection IMO.

  Alas, even with a "90%" driver, if you had not pulled the shot so far left the cart path would have been avoided and grass found.

  I have to say, I have improved quite a lot, I am now at the level I am only inches away from killing every hole.

  I miss the ding by two inches every shot, if I can fix that then I would be really dangerous!

  So are you saying that, when I slide the mouse right or left, it does not help me fade or draw the ball either? ;-)

  Zio, it will only help you if you also lean left or right, at least 45 degrees in the corresponding direction you are trying to work the ball.

  Oh, like body english when shooting billiards.  :-)
